Importers shall register IMEI numbers with the Central Government before importing any equipment (like mobile handset, module, modem, SIM Box etc.) bearing IMEI into India for sale, testing, research & development (R&D) or any other purpose on Device Setu- (Indian Counterfeited Device Restriction (ICDR)) portal at https://icdr.ceir.gov.in.
