Can I bring Personal Medical Device into India?
Personal medical devices permitted with documentation
Full details
India permits travelers to bring personal medical devices. Carry a doctor's letter explaining the device and its medical necessity. CPAP machines, insulin pumps, and hearing aids are all permitted. Travelers should keep items in original packaging where applicable. No special customs procedures required for personal quantities within standard duty-free allowances. Declare if exceeding personal use thresholds.
Leaving India with personal medical device
Personal-use personal medical devices may be taken out of India without export formalities. Personal medical devices (CPAP machines, glucose monitors, nebulisers, mobility aids) may be exported freely. Carry the prescribing letter and travel with devices in cabin baggage; airlines exempt medical equipment from cabin-bag limits on request.
No special procedure is required for personal quantities of personal medical device arriving in India. Quantities above duty-free allowances must still be declared. Verify current limits with Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC).
