Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 15041:2001 for flat woven webbing slings of man-made fibres. Verify the supplier's CM/L number, licensed product scope, and licensed manufacturing facility on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.

2
Ensure every webbing sling bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L number under Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. The marking must appear on the product itself, not packaging alone.

3
Accompany the consignment with a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country certifying absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes. Imports from the European Union, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo dye testing.

4
Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L number on the bill of entry, supported by the PSIC and any required test report. Customs verifies the CM/L in real time against the BIS register; an absent, expired, or scope-mismatched licence triggers consignment detention.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is importing flat woven webbing slings manufactured prior to 01 April 2025 without a BIS CM/L licence, on the incorrect assumption that the gazette notification date of 03 October 2024 is the operative enforcement date. The Indutech QCO 2024 under S.O. 4326(E) set the operative import-enforcement date as 01 April 2025; consignments arriving at an Indian port on or after that date without a valid CM/L against IS 15041:2001 are liable to detention regardless of the pre-01-April despatch date or the supplier's domestic-production phase-in timeline.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 5806 39 90 require BIS certification?

Yes, for flat woven webbing slings of man-made fibres. Conformity to IS 15041:2001 is mandatory under the ISI Mark Scheme from 01 April 2025 by virtue of the Indutech QCO 2024 notified under S.O. 4326(E) dated 03 October 2024.

Is a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate required in addition to BIS certification?

Yes. All textile and textile article imports require a PSIC from an accredited laboratory certifying absence of prohibited hazardous dyes. Imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo dye testing.

Does the small and micro enterprise phase-in timeline affect import obligations?

No. The small and micro enterprise phase-in to 01 July 2025 applies only to domestic production; the import-enforcement date under the Indutech QCO 2024 is 01 April 2025 and is unaffected by the domestic MSME carve-out.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all webbing sling widths and breaking-load grades from the same manufacturer?

No. The CM/L is scope-specific by product specification and manufacturing facility; slings outside the licensed width range, breaking-load grade, or from an unlicensed plant are not covered by the licence.
