Compliance steps

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

2
Confirm the enforcement date applicable to your supplier's enterprise size: 28 February 2025 for non-MSME and large enterprises, 28 May 2025 for small enterprises, and 28 August 2025 for micro enterprises. Import before the applicable date from an unlicensed supplier carries full QCO exposure after the respective threshold.

3
Ensure every door shutter bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L number under Scheme-I of the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. Marking must appear on the product itself; marking on packaging alone does not satisfy the QCO requirement.

4
Upload the Phytosanitary Certificate (e-Sanchit document code 851000) to e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is presented for out-of-charge. The proper officer will verify this upload as a prerequisite to release; absence triggers detention.

Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L number on the bill of entry alongside the Phytosanitary Certificate reference. Be aware of DRI Alert Circular 05/2025-CI dated 22-08-2025 issued by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence, which indicates heightened scrutiny of this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The most frequently exploited gap on this tariff line is treating all four IS parts as interchangeable: each part covers a distinct door construction and face-panel material, and a CM/L licence is scope-specific. A supplier licensed against IS 2202 (Part 1) for plywood-face solid-core shutters is not automatically licensed for MDF-face solid-core shutters under IS 2202 (Part 2). Presenting a CM/L number at Customs that does not cover the specific construction type and face-panel material of the consignment results in detention even where the supplier holds a valid BIS licence for a different part.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 4418 21 90 require BIS certification?

Yes. Wooden flush door shutters under this tariff line must conform to IS 2191 or IS 2202 (as applicable to their construction type) and bear the ISI mark under a CM/L licence, with effect from 28 February 2025, under the Plywood and Wooden Flush Door Shutters Quality Control Order, 2024.

Are micro and small enterprises subject to the same enforcement date as large enterprises?

No. The QCO enforcement date is 28 February 2025 for non-MSME and large enterprises, 28 May 2025 for small enterprises, and 28 August 2025 for micro enterprises. The enterprise classification of the manufacturer, not the importer, governs which date applies.

Which Indian Standard applies to which type of flush door shutter?

IS 2202 (Part 1):1999 covers solid-core shutters with plywood face panels; IS 2202 (Part 2):2022 covers solid-core shutters with particle board, HDF, MDF, or fibre hardboard face panels; IS 2191 (Part 1):2022 covers cellular and hollow-core shutters with plywood face panels; IS 2191 (Part 2):2022 covers cellular and hollow-core shutters with particle board or hardboard face panels.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all construction types and face-panel materials?

No. Each CM/L licence is scope-specific by Indian Standard part, construction type, face-panel material, and manufacturing facility. Shutters falling outside the exact licensed scope are not covered and will be detained at Customs.
