A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is importing the vectorscope under the general electrical-instrument classification without verifying its listing status under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020. A device listed in that notification is subject to CDSCO registration regardless of its primary commercial application; absence of registration at the bill-of-entry stage results in consignment detention, accrual of demurrage and ground rent, and potential confiscation under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9030 89 20 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers the vectorscope under this tariff line. 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 import consignment of a vectorscope?

Yes. G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 mandates CDSCO registration as a precondition for each import, and the registration must be valid and uploaded in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge is granted.

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

An expired registration is treated as non-compliance with G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020, exposing the consignment to detention and refusal of clearance until a current registration is produced; demurrage and ground rent accrue during any hold period.
