Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 2414:2005 for cycle and rickshaw tyres. Verify the supplier's CM/L number, licensed product scope, and manufacturing facility on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.
IS 2414:2005 · S.O. 5323(E) dated 11-12-2023 · ISI Mark Scheme under Scheme-I of the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018
2
Ensure every tyre in the consignment bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L number. The standard mark must appear on the product itself and be traceable to the licensed manufacturing facility; marking on packaging alone does not satisfy the requirement.

3
Note the phased enforcement dates: general importers from 14 June 2024; Small Enterprises from 15 September 2024; Micro Enterprises from 15 December 2024. Confirm the supplier's enterprise classification and ensure the relevant enforcement date has passed before importing without a CM/L licence.
S.O. 5323(E) dated 11-12-2023
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.
BIS Act, 2016 · Customs Act, 1962 · S.O. 5323(E) dated 11-12-2023
5
Verify whether the consignment falls within the scope of Bureau of Energy Efficiency (Appliance Labelling and Compliance) Regulations, 2026. If applicable, include the BEE labelling reference in the consignment-level documentation submitted at the time of customs clearance.

A word of counsel

The most consequential oversight on this tariff line is failing to account for the concurrent applicability of IS 2415:2015 on cycle and rickshaw tubes alongside IS 2414:2005 on tyres — importers who supply matched tyre-and-tube consignments must hold or verify separate CM/L coverage for the tube component under IS 2415:2015, as a single licence does not extend across both standards. Shipping a tube-inclusive consignment with only a tyre CM/L confirmed results in the tube portion being treated as uncertified goods, exposing the entire consignment to detention.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 4011 50 90 require BIS certification?

Yes. Cycle and rickshaw tyres classified under this tariff line require Bureau of Indian Standards certification under the ISI Mark Scheme against IS 2414:2005, with effect from 14 June 2024 per S.O. 5323(E).

Do Micro and Small Enterprises face the same enforcement date as general importers?

No. The enforcement date is 14 June 2024 for general importers, 15 September 2024 for Small Enterprises, and 15 December 2024 for Micro Enterprises as specified in S.O. 5323(E) dated 11 December 2023.

Does IS 2414:2005 cover both tyres and tubes for cycles and rickshaws?

No. IS 2414:2005 governs cycle and rickshaw tyres; IS 2415:2015 governs the corresponding tubes. A consignment containing tubes requires separate CM/L verification against IS 2415:2015.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all tyre sizes and variants from the same manufacturer?

No. The CM/L licence is scope-specific by tyre size, type, and manufacturing facility; variants or sizes outside the licensed scope are not covered and will be treated as uncertified goods at customs.
