Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against the applicable IS: IS 2202 (Part 1):1999 for solid core flush doors with plywood face panels, IS 2202 (Part 2):2022 for solid core doors with particle board, HDF, MDF, or fibre hardboard face panels, IS 2191 (Part 1):2022 for cellular/hollow core doors with plywood face panels, or IS 2191 (Part 2):2022 for cellular/hollow core doors with particle board or hardboard face panels. Verify the CM/L number, part-specific scope, and licensed facility on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.

2
Confirm that the licensed CM/L scope matches the exact IS part and face-panel material of the consignment. A CM/L covering IS 2202 (Part 1) (plywood face) does not authorise import of doors with MDF or particle board face panels under IS 2202 (Part 2); mismatched scope triggers detention.

3
Ensure every door shutter 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. Marking must appear on the product itself; marking on packaging alone does not satisfy the requirement.

4
Upload the Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000) to e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is filed. The proper officer is required to verify its presence before granting out-of-charge; absence of the PSIC on e-Sanchit will hold the consignment regardless of BIS compliance status.

5
Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L number and the IS part number on the bill of entry. If the supplier qualifies as a small enterprise, the enforcement date is 28 May 2025; for micro enterprises, 28 August 2025 — document the enterprise classification in writing and retain it with the customs file.

A word of counsel

The most common failure on this tariff line is treating IS 2202 and IS 2191 as interchangeable single standards rather than a matrix of four separate IS parts, each tied to a distinct face-panel material and core type. A CM/L issued against IS 2202 (Part 1) covers only solid core doors with plywood face panels; importing solid core doors with MDF or particle board face panels under the same CM/L, or conflating solid core with cellular core product, constitutes import of uncertified goods and attracts consignment detention and potential confiscation under the BIS Act, 2016 irrespective of whether the ISI mark physically appears on the door.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 4418 21 10 require BIS certification?

Yes. Flush doors of tropical wood must conform to IS 2202 or IS 2191 (as applicable by core type and face-panel material) under the ISI Mark Scheme from 28 February 2025, by virtue of the Plywood and Wooden Flush Door Shutters Quality Control Order, 2024. Import is permitted only from manufacturers holding a current BIS CM/L licence covering the specific IS part.

What determines which IS part applies to a specific flush door consignment?

Core type and face-panel material together determine the applicable IS part: solid core with plywood face panels falls under IS 2202 (Part 1):1999; solid core with particle board, HDF, MDF, or fibre hardboard falls under IS 2202 (Part 2):2022; cellular or hollow core with plywood falls under IS 2191 (Part 1):2022; cellular or hollow core with particle board or hardboard falls under IS 2191 (Part 2):2022.

Do small or micro enterprises get a later enforcement deadline?

Yes. The general enforcement date is 28 February 2025. Small enterprises have until 28 May 2025 and micro enterprises until 28 August 2025. The enterprise classification must be documented and retained with the customs file; unsupported claims of deferred status do not defer Customs action.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all four IS parts and all manufacturing facilities of the supplier?

No. Each CM/L is scope-specific by IS part, face-panel material, core type, and manufacturing facility. Doors produced at an unlicensed plant, or falling under an IS part not covered by the CM/L, are not authorised for import under that licence.
