Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 15633. Verify the supplier's CM/L number, licensed tyre sizes and types, and manufacturing facility on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.
Pneumatic Tyres and Tubes for Automotive Vehicles (Quality Control) Order, 2009 · IS 15633 · General Note 2 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy
2
Ensure every tyre in the consignment bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L number under Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. The marking must appear on the tyre itself and not solely on outer packaging.

3
If the import is of tyre sizes and types not manufactured domestically and is being imported by an Original Equipment Manufacturer, obtain and retain documentary evidence of the OEM exemption under O.M. F. No. P-39012/5/2018-L and R dated 22-01-2019. The BIS QCO obligation is waived only for the 666 exempted size-type combinations and only when the importer qualifies as an OEM.

4
Ensure compliance with the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (Appliance Labelling and Compliance) Regulations, 2026 to the extent applicable. The BEE labelling reference must accompany consignment-level documentation at the time of customs filing.
BEE Notification No. 5506/BEE/S&L/AL/2025-26 dated 26-12-2025
5
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 tyre-size-mismatched CM/L triggers consignment detention, demurrage, and potential re-export or confiscation.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is assuming that the OEM exemption for 666 non-domestically-manufactured tyre size-type combinations applies broadly to all industrial tyre imports. The O.M. dated 22-01-2019 is strictly conditional: the importing entity must itself qualify as an Original Equipment Manufacturer, and the specific tyre size and type must fall within the notified exemption list — a non-OEM importer of the same tyre size receives no exemption and faces detention for importing ISI-unmarked tyres.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 4011 80 00 require BIS certification?

Yes. Conformity to IS 15633 is mandatory under the ISI Mark Scheme from 12 May 2018, pursuant to the Pneumatic Tyres and Tubes for Automotive Vehicles (Quality Control) Order, 2009; import is permitted only from manufacturers holding a current BIS CM/L licence covering the relevant tyre sizes and types.

Is Bureau of Energy Efficiency labelling compliance required separately from BIS QCO compliance?

Yes. Bureau of Energy Efficiency labelling under the BEE (Appliance Labelling and Compliance) Regulations, 2026 is a separate overlay administered by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency and is independent of the BIS ISI Mark Scheme obligation.

Who qualifies for the OEM exemption covering 666 tyre sizes and types?

Only Original Equipment Manufacturers importing tyre sizes and types not manufactured domestically qualify for the exemption under O.M. F. No. P-39012/5/2018-L and R dated 22-01-2019. Non-OEM importers, including distributors and traders, do not qualify regardless of the tyre size.

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

No. The CM/L licence is scope-specific by tyre size, type, and manufacturing facility; tyres outside the licensed size-type combinations, or produced at an unlicensed plant, are not covered and are treated as unmarked goods at customs.
