Compliance steps

1
Verify whether the specific part or accessory is listed under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. If listed, obtain CDSCO registration for the medical device and ensure all conditions specified in that notification are met before filing the bill of entry.

2
Obtain Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board for import of analysers and accessories before shipment. The EPR obligation arises under Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 and is mandatory unless the importer qualifies as a micro-enterprise under the MSMED Act, 2006.

For import of high-end, high-value used or refurbished medical equipment (other than critical care equipment), confirm compliance with the conditions stipulated in the O.M. issued by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change dated 15-12-2023, under which such imports are Restricted.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that only one regulatory track applies. Parts and accessories that qualify as medical devices under G.S.R. 102(E) trigger CDSCO registration independently of the EPR obligation; an importer who secures CPCB EPR authorisation but neglects CDSCO registration faces consignment detention at the bill-of-entry stage. Conversely, importers of used or refurbished equipment must separately satisfy the MOHFW/MoEFCC conditions — the CDSCO registration and the EPR authorisation do not substitute for the refurbished-equipment restricted-import clearance.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9027 90 90 require BIS certification?

No, parts and accessories for microtomes and analytical instruments are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by CDSCO registration under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017 where the product falls within G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020, and by CPCB EPR authorisation under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022.

Does the EPR authorisation requirement apply to all importers under this tariff line?

No. EPR authorisation under G.S.R. 801(E) dated 02-11-2022 is mandatory for importers of analysers and accessories, but micro-enterprises as defined under the MSMED Act, 2006 are exempt from the EPR obligation.

Are used or refurbished analytical instruments freely importable under this HSN?

No. Import of high-end, high-value used or refurbished medical equipment other than critical care equipment is Restricted and subject to the conditions in the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change O.M. dated 15-12-2023; non-compliance renders the consignment liable to detention or re-export.
