Compliance steps

1
Obtain CDSCO registration for the barometer as a medical device listed under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020. The registration must cover the specific device class and manufacturer; import without a valid CDSCO registration renders the consignment liable to detention and seizure at the bill-of-entry stage.

2
Upload the CDSCO registration certificate and all supporting compliance documents in e-Sanchit before filing the bill of entry. Verify that all conditions of registration specified in G.S.R. 102(E) — including manufacturer details and authorised Indian representative particulars — are current and accurately reflected.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is importing a barometer classified under the medical-devices regime without confirming whether the specific model is listed in G.S.R. 102(E) and whether the overseas manufacturer holds a current CDSCO registration. A consignment where the foreign manufacturer is unregistered — even with a valid Indian importer registration — is treated as a non-compliant import under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, attracting detention and potential confiscation at port.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9025 80 20 require BIS certification?

No, standalone barometers are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, pursuant to G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

What CDSCO registration documents must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for this tariff line?

The CDSCO registration certificate covering the specific device and its manufacturer must be uploaded in e-Sanchit, along with all conditions of compliance specified in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020, before customs out-of-charge is granted.

Does the MOHFW G.S.R. 102(E) registration requirement apply to all barometers under this HSN, or only to specific types?

The requirement applies to medical devices listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020; barometers not falling within the listed medical-device categories under that notification are outside the CDSCO registration obligation, though the importer bears the burden of demonstrating non-applicability at the bill of entry.
