Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 15741:2007 for curtains and drapes. 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 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. The standard mark must appear on the product or its attached label, not on outer 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 — certifying 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 or applicable exemption documentation. Customs verifies the CM/L against the BIS register in real time; an absent, expired, or scope-mismatched CM/L triggers consignment detention.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is treating IS 15741:2007 as a general textile-quality standard applicable only to domestically manufactured goods, and proceeding with import on the strength of a PSIC alone. The BIS QCO obligation under the Protective Textiles (Quality Control) Order, 2022 is independent of — and additional to — the azo-dye testing requirement; a consignment bearing a clean PSIC but sourced from a manufacturer without a current CM/L licence against IS 15741:2007 will be detained at port regardless of dye-test compliance.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6303 92 00 require BIS certification?

Yes. Curtains and drapes of synthetic fibres require conformity to IS 15741:2007 under the ISI Mark Scheme with effect from 13 October 2023, by virtue of the Protective Textiles (Quality Control) Order, 2022; import is permitted only from manufacturers holding a current BIS CM/L licence.

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

Yes. The PSIC requirement under the textile import policy is independent of the BIS QCO obligation; both must be satisfied. Imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom are exempt only from the azo dye testing component of the PSIC.

Does IS 15741:2007 apply to all curtains under HSN 6303 92 00 or only to a specific sub-scope?

Per the CCR, IS 15741:2007 is applicable to curtains and drapes of synthetic fibres classified under this tariff line with effect from 13 October 2023; the obligation is not limited to a sub-type within the tariff line.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all synthetic-fibre curtain variants from the same manufacturer?

No. A CM/L licence is scope-specific by product specification and manufacturing facility; curtain variants outside the licensed scope, or produced at an unlicensed plant, are not covered and customs will detain the consignment on a scope mismatch.
