A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that a general-purpose balancing machine falls outside the medical-device regime. Where the machine is configured or marketed for use in servicing or calibrating medical equipment, it may fall within the scope of G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020, triggering CDSCO registration obligations. Confirm the device's regulatory status against the notified list before the purchase order is placed; a post-arrival reclassification results in consignment detention and potential re-export.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9031 10 00 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers balancing machines for mechanical parts. Import is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, where the device falls within the scope of G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

Does every balancing machine under HSN 9031 10 00 require CDSCO registration?

Only those devices listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 are subject to CDSCO registration and the associated import conditions; balancing machines outside that notified list are not regulated as medical devices under that notification.

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, rendering the consignment liable to detention at the port of import; out-of-charge will be refused until a valid, current registration is produced.
