Compliance steps

1
Verify whether the specific instrument being imported is a medical device listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. If listed, obtain the applicable CDSCO registration before filing the bill of entry; import without registration attracts detention and confiscation under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017.

2
For electrical or electronic items within this CTI (including heating regulators), obtain Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 before import. EPR authorisation is not required for micro-enterprises as defined under the MSME Development Act, 2006.

A word of counsel

The critical trap on this residual tariff line is dual-track scope confusion: the same 8-digit CTI captures both medical-device-class instruments (CDSCO/MOHFW regime) and non-medical electronic controllers (CPCB EPR regime), and some products attract both simultaneously. Importers must assess each consignment against G.S.R. 102(E) for CDSCO applicability and against Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 for EPR applicability — treating either as automatically inapplicable without a product-specific review risks consignment detention at the bill-of-entry stage.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9032 89 90 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers this residual tariff line. Import is instead governed by CDSCO registration under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017 (for listed medical devices per G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020) and by CPCB Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 for applicable electronic items.

Which products under this HSN require CDSCO registration?

Only those instruments classified as medical devices and specifically listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 issued by MOHFW require CDSCO registration; non-medical automatic control instruments do not fall under the CDSCO regime.

Are micro-enterprises exempt from the EPR authorisation requirement for heating regulators?

Yes. EPR authorisation under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 does not apply to micro-enterprises as defined in the MSME Development Act, 2006; all other importers must hold current CPCB EPR authorisation before the bill of entry is filed.
