A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is assuming that all parts and accessories under HSN 9030 90 10 are outside the medical-device regulatory perimeter. Only those items captured by G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 trigger CDSCO registration; however, customs officers apply the G.S.R. list broadly, and a consignment that cannot demonstrate scope-exclusion in writing at the port faces detention pending MOHFW clarification — a resolution that routinely accrues demurrage and ground rent.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9030 90 10 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers parts and accessories of meters and counters under this tariff line. Where the goods are captured by 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.

Which parts and accessories trigger CDSCO registration under G.S.R. 102(E)?

Only those parts and accessories that are listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare require CDSCO registration; importers should cross-check the specific item against the notified schedule before filing the bill of entry.

What happens if a consignment arrives without the required CDSCO registration?

Customs will detain the consignment at the port of entry; the goods may not be cleared for out-of-charge until valid CDSCO registration is produced, and prolonged detention exposes the importer to demurrage, ground rent, and risk of confiscation under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940.
