Compliance steps

1
Identify the precise door-shutter type being imported and match it to the applicable Indian Standard: IS 2202 (Part 1):1999 for solid-core plywood-face panels; IS 2202 (Part 2):2022 for solid-core particle board, HDF, MDF, and fibre hardboard face panels; IS 2191 (Part 1):2022 for cellular/hollow-core plywood-face panels; IS 2191 (Part 2):2022 for cellular/hollow-core particle board and hardboard face panels.

2
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against the applicable part of IS 2202 or IS 2191 for the specific face-panel type and core construction. Verify the CM/L number, licensed product scope, and licensed facility on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.

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

4
Upload the Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000) to e-Sanchit before filing the bill of entry. The proper officer is required to verify the PSC upload before granting out-of-charge; absence of the PSC on e-Sanchit triggers consignment detention.

5
Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L number on the bill of entry and retain the DRI Alert Circular 05/2025-CI dated 22-08-2025 in the import file. Customs verifies CM/L validity in real time against the BIS register; an expired, absent, or scope-mismatched licence triggers detention.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is treating the IS 2202 and IS 2191 standards as interchangeable when they are part-specific: each combination of core construction (solid versus cellular/hollow) and face-panel material (plywood versus particle board, MDF, HDF, or fibre hardboard) maps to a distinct Part, and a CM/L licensed only for one Part does not cover product falling under another. An importer who verifies a supplier's CM/L number without confirming the licensed Part and face-panel scope will discover the mismatch at port, not at order placement — resulting in consignment detention and demurrage.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 4418 29 90 require BIS certification?

Yes. Wooden flush door shutters under this tariff line require the ISI mark under a BIS CM/L licence against IS 2202 or IS 2191 with effect from 28 February 2025, by virtue of the Plywood and Wooden Flush Door Shutters Quality Control Order, 2024 (S.O. 1377(E)).

Do small and micro enterprises face a different enforcement date?

Yes. The enforcement 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 importers and manufacturers.

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

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

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

No. The CM/L licence is scope-specific by Part, core type, and face-panel material; door shutters outside the licensed Part and specification, or produced at an unlicensed facility, are not covered and will be detained at customs.
