2
Confirm all conditions specified in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 are met at the time of import, including any registration, licensing, and labelling requirements. Upload the relevant CDSCO registration certificate and import licence in e-Sanchit prior to out-of-charge.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that a general importer's CDSCO registration covers all ionising-radiation instruments when in fact G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 requires device-specific registration tied to the listed product category. An importer presenting a CDSCO licence for an adjacent device class — such as diagnostic imaging equipment — without a registration covering radiation-measurement instruments will face consignment detention and demurrage until correct device-specific registration is produced.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9030 10 00 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers instruments and apparatus for measuring or detecting ionising radiations. Import of devices listed under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017.

Does G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 cover all radiation-measuring instruments or only specific listed devices?

The notification applies specifically to medical devices listed therein; importers should verify that their particular instrument falls within the listed device categories before assuming CDSCO registration is required or sufficient.

What happens if the CDSCO registration has expired at the time of import?

An expired CDSCO registration renders the import non-compliant with G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020, exposing the consignment to detention, seizure, and refusal of out-of-charge until a current registration is produced.
