A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that parts and accessories of thermometers, hydrometers, or similar instruments are generic mechanical components falling outside the CDSCO regime. Where a part or accessory is listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 as a notified medical device, importing without a current CDSCO registration renders the consignment liable to detention and seizure under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, regardless of whether the finished parent instrument is itself imported separately.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9025 90 00 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers parts and accessories under heading 9025. Import is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, where the goods qualify as notified medical devices.

How do I determine whether a specific part or accessory under this HSN requires CDSCO registration?

The test is whether the part or accessory appears in the device list notified by G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020; items not listed in that notification are not subject to CDSCO registration under that specific order.

What happens if a consignment arrives without CDSCO registration for a listed device?

Consignments of notified medical devices imported without valid CDSCO registration are liable to detention at the port of entry, with the risk of confiscation and monetary penalty under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940.
