Import of mobile phones now requires ICDR-issued IMEI certificates and Customs validation to block duplicate or fake IMEIs. The SOP mandates importers obtain an IMEI certificate via the ICDR portal, which validates TAC/IMEI data against GSMA and ICDR checks and issues certificates with control numbers and QR codes when IMEIs are valid; applications are rejected for null, all-zero, duplicate or invalid IMEIs. Customs must validate presented IMEI certificates on ICDR, perform certificate level validation on 100% of consignments, and conduct random physical examinations of consignments and limited handset switching to verify IMEI conformity, while non genuine markings are handled under prevailing customs law.
