Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 9573 (Part 1):2017 and IS 9573 (Part 2):2017. Verify the supplier's CM/L number, licensed product scope, and manufacturing facility address on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.

2
Ensure every hose assembly bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L licence number per Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. The marking must appear on the hose itself and not solely on external packaging.

3
Confirm at the purchase-order stage that the supplier's CM/L scope covers hoses supplied with fittings. A licence issued solely for bare hose assemblies without fittings does not extend to the fitted configuration classified under HSN 4009 32 00.

4
Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L number on the bill of entry. Customs verifies the CM/L in real time against the BIS register; an absent, expired, or scope-mismatched licence triggers consignment detention, demurrage, and potential re-export or confiscation.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is sourcing against a CM/L licence that covers IS 9573 (Part 1):2017 alone — the hose body specification — without verifying that the same licence also extends to IS 9573 (Part 2):2017, which governs hose assemblies with fittings. Because HSN 4009 32 00 by definition covers the fitted configuration, a Part 1-only licence is scope-mismatched; customs can detain the entire consignment even where the hose body itself is fully conformant.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 4009 32 00 require BIS certification?

Yes. Rubber hoses with fittings for LPG must conform to IS 9573 (Part 1):2017 and IS 9573 (Part 2):2017 under the ISI Mark Scheme. Import is permitted only from manufacturers holding a current BIS CM/L licence covering both parts, with effect from 28 January 2020.

Do both parts of IS 9573 apply, or only one?

Both parts apply. IS 9573 (Part 1):2017 governs the hose body and IS 9573 (Part 2):2017 governs hose assemblies with fittings; the Rubber Hose for LPG (Quality Control) Order, 2020 cites both standards as mandatory requirements.

Is HSN 4009 32 00 (with fittings) treated differently from HSN 4009 31 00 (without fittings) under the QCO?

Yes. The fitted configuration under HSN 4009 32 00 requires a CM/L licence covering IS 9573 (Part 2):2017 in addition to Part 1. A licence scoped only to the unfitted hose does not cover goods entered under this tariff line.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all hose diameters and pressure ratings from the same manufacturer?

No. A CM/L licence is scope-specific by size range, pressure rating, and manufacturing facility; hose assemblies outside the licensed specifications or produced at an unlicensed plant are not covered by that licence.
