Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 17630:2021 for medical-textile bed sheets and pillow covers. Verify the CM/L number, licensed product scope, and manufacturing facility address on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.

2
Ensure each article bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L number per Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. Marking must be on the product itself and not on packaging alone.

3
Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or a valid test report from TC or CSRTI, confirming the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes. Imports from the EU, 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 applicable certificate of origin. 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 treating IS 17630:2021 as a general home-textile standard and importing man-made-fibre bed linen without a CM/L licence scoped to medical-textile bed sheets and pillow covers. The Medical Textiles QCO has undergone successive amendments — S.O. 4634(E), S.O. 4(E) dated 01-01-2025, and S.O. 3526(E) dated 30-07-2025 — and suppliers holding CM/L licences predating the second amendment may carry outdated scope declarations; a CM/L originally issued for home-textile linen does not automatically extend to the medical-textile category, and customs detention follows on a scope mismatch.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6302 22 00 require BIS certification?

Yes. Bed sheets and pillow covers of man-made fibres classified here must conform to IS 17630:2021 under the ISI Mark Scheme, with effect from 01 April 2024, under the Medical Textiles (Quality Control) Second Amendment Order, 2025; import is permitted only from manufacturers holding a current BIS CM/L licence covering the medical-textile scope.

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

Yes. A PSIC from an accredited laboratory confirming absence of prohibited hazardous dyes is required under General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy; imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo dye testing only.

Which S.O. notifications govern the QCO for this tariff line?

The Medical Textiles QCO is governed by S.O. 4634(E) dated 23-10-2024 as the principal notification, subsequently amended by S.O. 4(E) dated 01-01-2025 and S.O. 3526(E) dated 30-07-2025; the original enforcement date of 01 April 2024 is preserved from the parent QCO.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all man-made-fibre bed linen variants from the same manufacturer?

No. The CM/L is scope-specific by product category, fabric specification, and manufacturing facility; articles outside the licensed scope or produced at an unlicensed plant are not covered, and customs detains consignments on a scope mismatch.
