A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that megger meters, being electrical-measurement instruments rather than therapeutic devices, fall outside the CDSCO registration scope. G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 specifically lists this product family among notified medical devices, and customs officers are directed to verify CDSCO registration at the bill of entry; consignments arriving without a valid registration are detained pending regularisation, which attracts demurrage and ground rent while CDSCO processing runs its course.
