Prohibition on import of handsets with fake or duplicate IMEIs: customs verification of GSMA issued IMEI certificates required for clearance. Customs clearance is conditioned on presentation of consignment wise IMEI certificates obtained by Type Allocation Holders through GSMA registration and ICDR validation. Customs officers must verify via the ICDR that IMEIs are genuine, allocated to the declared Type Allocation Holder, match the declared make/model and form factor, and have not been previously recorded entering India. ICDR risk markings drive verification intensity: green channel consignments face randomized sampling checks, while red channel consignments may be treated as prohibited imports subject to penalties and confiscation under Customs law.
