Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against the applicable Indian Standard for the door type being imported. Verify the CM/L number, licensed product scope (face panel type, core type), and licensed manufacturing facility on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.

2
Match the IS standard to the specific door construction: IS 2202 (Part 1):1999 for solid core with plywood face panels; IS 2202 (Part 2):2022 for solid core with particle board, HDF, MDF, or fibre hardboard face panels; IS 2191 (Part 1):2022 for cellular/hollow core with plywood face panels; IS 2191 (Part 2):2022 for cellular/hollow core with particle board or hardboard face panels.

3
Ensure every door shutter bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L number per Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. The standard mark must appear on the product itself, not on packaging alone.

4
Upload a valid Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000) to e-Sanchit before filing the bill of entry. The proper officer verifies its upload before granting out-of-charge; absence of the PSIC in e-Sanchit delays clearance.

Note that the general-importer effective date is 28 February 2025; small enterprises receive the QCO obligation from 28 May 2025 and micro enterprises from 28 August 2025. If claiming an enterprise-size deferral, upload supporting Udyam registration documentation.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the four IS standards as interchangeable and obtaining a single CM/L for one door construction type while importing another. Each IS governs a distinct combination of core type and face-panel material; a CM/L against IS 2202 (Part 1) does not cover hollow-core doors under IS 2191 (Part 1), and customs detention follows when the licensed scope on the BIS register does not match the product description on the commercial invoice. Verify the exact face-panel and core specification of every SKU in the consignment against the supplier's CM/L scope before shipment.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 4418 99 00 require BIS certification?

Yes. Wooden flush door shutters under this tariff line must conform to the applicable Indian Standard and bear the ISI mark under a BIS CM/L licence, with effect from 28 February 2025 for general importers, per the Plywood and Wooden Flush Door Shutters Quality Control Order, 2024.

Do small and micro enterprises importing under HSN 4418 99 00 have a later compliance date?

Yes. Small enterprises must comply from 28 May 2025 and micro enterprises from 28 August 2025. Enterprises claiming a deferral should carry Udyam registration documentation to evidence their classification at the time of import.

Which Indian Standard applies to a specific door type?

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

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

No. Each CM/L is scope-specific by IS standard, core type, and face-panel material. A manufacturer supplying both solid-core and hollow-core variants with different face panels must hold separate or suitably scoped licences for each construction type.
