A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is importing spectrum resistance meters under a general electrical-instrument classification without verifying whether the specific device falls within the MOHFW-notified medical-device list under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020. A device within that list imported without CDSCO registration is liable to confiscation and monetary penalty; the registration must name the exact model and manufacturer, and a blanket importer's licence does not substitute for device-level registration.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9030 33 20 require BIS certification?

No, spectrum resistance meters classified here 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.

Is CDSCO registration required for every model of spectrum resistance meter imported under this HSN?

Yes, where the device falls within the medical-device categories listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020, registration is required per device and manufacturer; a single importer registration does not cover multiple unlisted models.

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

An expired registration is treated as non-compliance with the conditions of G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020, exposing the consignment to detention at the port of import and potential confiscation pending regularisation with CDSCO.
