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 plywood-face-panel shutters, IS 2202 (Part 2):2022 for solid-core particle/fibre-board-face-panel shutters, IS 2191 (Part 1):2022 for cellular/hollow-core plywood-face-panel shutters, or IS 2191 (Part 2):2022 for cellular/hollow-core particle-board and hardboard-face-panel shutters. Verify the CM/L number, product scope, and licensed facility on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.

2
Ensure every frame and threshold bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L number on the product itself, not only on packaging. The marking must correspond to the specific standard part under which the CM/L is granted.

3
Upload the Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000) in e-Sanchit before the consignment is presented for out-of-charge. The proper officer verifies this mandatory document prior to release; absence delays out-of-charge regardless of BIS compliance status.

4
Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L number on the bill of entry alongside the Phytosanitary Certificate reference. Customs verifies the CM/L in real time against the BIS register; an absent, expired, or IS-part-mismatched licence triggers consignment detention.

5
If the supplier qualifies as a small enterprise, the mandatory enforcement date is 28 May 2025; for micro enterprises it is 28 August 2025. Confirm the supplier's enterprise classification in writing and retain evidence, as customs may require proof that the deferred-date concession applies.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the four IS standards as interchangeable and sourcing a single CM/L without confirming it covers the exact core type and face-panel material being imported. IS 2202 (solid core) and IS 2191 (cellular/hollow core) are separate standards with separate part-wise CM/L scopes; a consignment of IS 2191 (Part 2) cellular-core particle-board-face shutters presented against a CM/L limited to IS 2202 (Part 1) will be detained at port as non-compliant, regardless of the ISI mark appearing on the product.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 4418 29 20 require BIS certification?

Yes. Frames and thresholds of flush doors must conform to the applicable IS standard 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.

Which Indian Standard applies — IS 2202 or IS 2191?

Both apply, depending on door type. IS 2202 (Parts 1 and 2) governs solid-core shutters; IS 2191 (Parts 1 and 2) governs cellular and hollow-core shutters. The CM/L must match the core type and face-panel material of the imported product.

Do small and micro enterprises benefit from a deferred enforcement date?

Yes. The mandatory compliance date for small enterprises is 28 May 2025 and for micro enterprises is 28 August 2025. The general enforcement date of 28 February 2025 applies to all other manufacturers and importers.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all four IS part-combinations?

No. A CM/L licence is granted against a specific IS standard and part; a licence for IS 2202 (Part 1) does not cover IS 2191 (Part 1) or IS 2191 (Part 2) products. Each standard-part combination requires a separately scoped CM/L.
