A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that because HSN 9031 90 00 is a residual 'parts and accessories' heading, the CDSCO regime does not apply. The obligation is product-specific: any part or accessory that constitutes or is used with a medical device listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 attracts full CDSCO registration requirements. Importers who rely on the generic 'instruments' classification without checking the G.S.R. 102(E) schedule risk consignment detention and monetary penalty.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9031 90 00 require BIS certification?

Do all parts and accessories under HSN 9031 90 00 require CDSCO registration?

No — the CDSCO registration obligation applies only to those parts and accessories that fall within the medical devices specifically listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020; parts used in non-medical instruments are not covered by the G.S.R. 102(E) regime.

What happens if the importer files a bill of entry before obtaining CDSCO registration?

The consignment is liable to detention at the port pending regularisation; if CDSCO registration cannot be established, the goods are subject to confiscation and monetary penalty under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940.
