Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer. Match the licence to the correct IS part: IS 2202 (Part 1):1999 for solid core plywood-faced shutters, IS 2202 (Part 2):2022 for solid core particle board/HDF/MDF/fibre hardboard-faced shutters, IS 2191 (Part 1):2022 for cellular/hollow core plywood-faced shutters, and IS 2191 (Part 2):2022 for cellular/hollow core particle board/hardboard-faced shutters.

2
Verify the supplier's CM/L number, licensed IS part, face-panel material, core type, and manufacturing facility address on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order. Confirm the licence remains current and covers the exact product variant being imported.

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

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

Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L number on the bill of entry alongside the e-Sanchit reference for the Phytosanitary Certificate. Note that enterprise-size-based transitional dates applied — 28-05-2025 for small enterprises and 28-08-2025 for micro enterprises — and consignments shipped before an applicable transitional date must be documented accordingly.

A word of counsel

The most frequent compliance failure on this tariff line is treating IS 2191 and IS 2202 as interchangeable when they govern distinct combinations of core type and face-panel material — importing solid-core shutters under a CM/L licensed only for cellular-core shutters, or a plywood-faced variant under a licence scoped to particle-board-faced shutters, constitutes an out-of-scope supply and triggers detention even where the overall IS number matches. Verify that the supplier's CM/L covers the precise core-type and face-panel-material combination of each SKU before the purchase order is placed, not at the port.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 4418 29 10 require BIS certification?

Yes. Wooden flush door shutters under this tariff line must conform to IS 2191 (Parts 1 and 2) and IS 2202 (Parts 1 and 2) and bear the ISI mark under a CM/L licence, mandatory from 28 February 2025 under the Plywood and Wooden Flush Door Shutters Quality Control Order, 2024.

What transitional enforcement dates apply for small and micro enterprises?

The QCO enforcement date is 28 February 2025 for all other enterprises; 28 May 2025 for small enterprises; and 28 August 2025 for micro enterprises. Consignments imported before an applicable transitional date must be documented to evidence eligibility for the later date.

Does the IS standard differ depending on the type of flush door being imported?

Yes. IS 2202 (Part 1):1999 governs solid core shutters with plywood face panels; IS 2202 (Part 2):2022 governs solid core shutters with particle board, HDF, MDF, or fibre hardboard face panels; IS 2191 (Part 1):2022 and IS 2191 (Part 2):2022 govern cellular and hollow core types with plywood and particle board/hardboard face panels respectively.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all flush door variants from the same manufacturer?

No. A CM/L licence is part-specific and face-panel-material-specific; a manufacturer may hold separate licences for different IS parts, and only the variants within each licensed scope are covered.
