A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that because the 8-digit HSN describes parts and accessories for electricity meters — an industrial metrology product — the CDSCO medical-device regime cannot apply. G.S.R. 102(E) determines applicability by the nature and intended use of the specific component, not by the parent heading. Importers should confirm scope eligibility against the G.S.R. 102(E) schedule before committing to a shipment; a post-arrival scope dispute results in consignment detention and potential re-export at the importer's cost.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9028 90 10 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers parts and accessories for electricity meters under this tariff line. Import is instead governed by CDSCO registration requirements under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, where the product falls within the listed medical-device categories.

How do I determine whether my specific part or accessory is covered by G.S.R. 102(E)?

Applicability is determined by the product's nature and intended use as against the medical-device categories enumerated in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020; importers should cross-check the schedule and, if uncertain, seek a formal CDSCO scope clarification before shipment.

What happens if the CDSCO registration is absent at the time of import?

Consignments arriving without a valid CDSCO registration required under G.S.R. 102(E) are subject to customs detention; clearance is refused until registration is produced, and prolonged detention attracts demurrage and ground rent charges at the port.
