A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that all electrical measuring instruments with a recording device under HSN 9030 84 00 fall outside medical-device regulation because the heading is primarily associated with industrial or laboratory equipment. Where the instrument is designed or intended for a medical purpose and is captured by G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020, the full CDSCO registration and import-licence regime applies; consignments cleared without verifying the listing are liable to detention and confiscation at the port of entry.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9030 84 00 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers instruments for measuring or checking electrical quantities under this tariff line. Where the instrument qualifies as a medical device listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020, import is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017.

How do I determine whether my instrument is a listed medical device under G.S.R. 102(E)?

Cross-reference the device's intended use and description against the schedule notified in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare; instruments designed or marketed for medical diagnostic or monitoring purposes are the primary category captured.

What happens if a listed medical device under this HSN is imported without CDSCO registration?

Import without the requisite CDSCO registration constitutes a violation of the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, and the consignment is liable to detention, confiscation, and monetary penalty at the port of entry.
