Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 3097:2006 (veneered particle boards) and IS 3087:2005 (medium-density particle boards). 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 each panel bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L number as required under the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. Marking must appear on the board or its packaging in a manner traceable to the licensed batch.

Confirm the applicable IS for the specific panel type in the consignment: IS 3087:2005 for plain medium-density particle boards, IS 3097:2006 for veneered particle boards, IS 12823:2015 for pre-laminated particle boards, IS 1659:2004 for block boards, and IS 12406:2021 for medium-density fibreboard. The CM/L must cover the exact specification supplied.

Ensure the Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000) is uploaded to e-Sanchit prior to arrival. The proper officer will verify this upload before granting out-of-charge; absence delays clearance regardless of BIS compliance status.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is presenting a CM/L licence scoped to IS 3087:2005 (plain medium-density particle board) for a consignment of veneered particle boards, which are governed by IS 3097:2006. The two standards are distinct in scope — IS 3097:2006 prescribes density, water absorption, swelling, and bonding parameters specifically for veneered particle boards — and customs detention follows any scope mismatch between the consignment's panel type and the IS number on the CM/L. Confirm the supplier's licence scope against the exact IS before shipment, not at port.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 4410 11 30 require BIS certification?

Yes. Veneered particle boards without decorative face veneers must conform to IS 3097:2006 and IS 3087:2005 under the ISI Mark Scheme with effect from 11 February 2025, by virtue of the Wood Based Boards Quality Control Order, 2024 notified vide S.O. 1307(E).

Which Indian Standard governs this specific product within the Wood Based Boards QCO?

IS 3097:2006 governs veneered particle boards for general purposes. IS 3087:2005 covers medium-density particle boards broadly; the CM/L must match the precise specification of the consignment.

Do the phased enforcement dates affect import obligations for all enterprises?

No. The QCO applies from 11-02-2025 for standard enterprises, 11-05-2025 for small enterprises, and 11-08-2025 for micro enterprises. An importer invoking a phase-in window must substantiate the applicable enterprise classification.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all wood-based board types under the QCO?

No. Each IS standard (IS 3097:2006, IS 3087:2005, IS 12823:2015, IS 1659:2004, IS 12406:2021) requires a separate CM/L scope; a licence against one standard does not authorise import of boards falling under a different standard.
