Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 15041:2001 for textile flat woven webbing slings of man-made fibres. Verify the supplier's CM/L number, licensed product scope, and manufacturing facility address on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.
Indutech (Quality Control) Order, 2024 · S.O. 4326(E) dated 03-10-2024 · IS 15041:2001
2
Ensure each webbing sling bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L number per Scheme-I of Schedule-II of the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. Marking must appear on the product itself; packaging-only marking does not satisfy the statutory obligation.

3
Accompany every consignment with a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory certifying 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; all other origins must furnish the PSIC.

4
If the consignment includes or is packaged in plastic packaging, register on the CPCB centralised portal under the Plastic Waste Management Rules and comply with Extended Producer Responsibility obligations. Single-use plastic items prohibited with effect from 01-07-2022 must not form part of the shipment.
Plastic Waste Management (Amendment) Rules, 2022 · G.S.R. 571(E) dated 12-08-2021 · G.S.R. 133(E) dated 16-02-2022 · CBIC Instruction 09/2022-Customs dated 22-06-2022 · G.S.R. 807(E) dated 30-10-2023
5
Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L number on the bill of entry together with the PSIC and any applicable CPCB EPR reference. Customs verifies the CM/L in real time against the BIS register; an absent, expired, or scope-mismatched CM/L triggers consignment detention.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is importing generic made-up textile articles under HSN 6307 90 99 without recognising that the QCO scope is precise — IS 15041:2001 applies only to flat woven webbing slings of man-made fibres intended for general lifting services, not to the broader residual category of made-up textile articles. An importer shipping webbing slings from a manufacturer whose CM/L was granted for other textile assemblies, or whose licence does not specify the sling-loading class, will face detention at port regardless of the ISI mark appearing on the product, because customs verifies scope at the product-description level on the BIS register.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6307 90 99 require BIS certification?

Yes, for textile flat woven webbing slings of man-made fibres. Conformity to IS 15041:2001 is mandatory under the ISI Mark Scheme with effect from 01 April 2025, by virtue of the Indutech (Quality Control) Order, 2024 under S.O. 4326(E).

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

Yes. A PSIC certifying absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes is required for all textile imports under General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy, independently of the BIS obligation. Imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo dye testing.

Does the Indutech QCO enforcement date of 03 October 2024 differ from the IS 15041:2001 mandatory compliance date?

Yes. The Indutech (Quality Control) Order, 2024 was notified on 03 October 2024, but IS 15041:2001 comes into force for imports on 01 April 2025. For small and micro enterprises engaged in domestic production only, the date is 01 July 2025 under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all webbing sling types and load capacities from the same manufacturer?

No. The CM/L licence is scope-specific by product specification, load class, and manufacturing facility; slings outside the licensed specification or from an unlicensed plant are not covered, and customs detains the consignment on a scope mismatch.
