2
Ensure all conditions specified in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 — including CDSCO registration and any associated import licence — are satisfied and that supporting documentation is uploaded in e-Sanchit prior to customs out-of-charge.

A word of counsel

The critical error on this tariff line is assuming that because the 8-digit description reads 'Other' — a residual sub-heading — the apparatus falls outside CDSCO's scope. Whether a given manostat is a notified medical device depends entirely on its intended use and the product categories listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020; importers who do not conduct this classification exercise before shipment face consignment detention and potential seizure at the bill-of-entry stage when the proper officer requests CDSCO registration evidence.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9032 20 90 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers this tariff line. Import is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, where the apparatus qualifies as a notified medical device under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

Are all manostats classified under HSN 9032 20 90 subject to CDSCO registration?

Only those apparatus that fall within the notified medical-device categories specified in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 require CDSCO registration; manostats used exclusively for industrial or non-medical purposes should be assessed against the notification's scope before concluding that the requirement applies.

What happens if a CDSCO-notified device is imported without a valid registration certificate?

Import without the required CDSCO registration constitutes a violation of the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, and the consignment is liable to detention, refusal of out-of-charge, and potential seizure or re-export under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940.
