Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 2835:1987 for flat transparent sheet glass. Verify the supplier's CM/L number, licensed product scope, and manufacturing facility address on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.

2
Ensure every unit of glass bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L number under Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. Marking must appear on the product or on each sheet in the consignment, not on outer packaging alone.

3
Obtain and retain the supplier's IS 2835:1987 test certificate and CM/L licence copy as part of the consignment documentation. These must be available for examination by Customs at the port of import.

4
Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L number on the bill of entry. Customs verifies the CM/L against the BIS online register in real time; an absent, expired, or scope-mismatched CM/L triggers consignment detention, demurrage, and ground rent liability.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that glass profiles classified under HSN 7003 30 90 fall outside the IS 2835:1987 QCO because that standard is titled 'flat transparent sheet glass' and the HS heading describes 'profiles'. The Flat Transparent Sheet Glass (Quality Control) Order, 2021 applies to goods conforming to IS 2835:1987 regardless of the profile shape, and the CM/L must expressly cover the product form being imported — a sheet-glass CM/L does not automatically extend to profiled sections from the same plant.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7003 30 90 require BIS certification?

Yes. Goods under this tariff item must conform to IS 2835:1987 and bear the ISI mark under a CM/L licence issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards, with effect from 07 October 2021.

Is any customs-overlay registration such as SIMS or EPR required for this HSN?

No separate customs-clearance overlay is indicated for HSN 7003 30 90. The sole mandatory regulatory requirement is BIS QCO compliance under IS 2835:1987.

Does the IS 2835:1987 CM/L issued for sheet glass also cover profiled glass sections from the same manufacturer?

No. The CM/L is scope-specific; the licensed product form and manufacturing facility must match the consignment. A licence for flat sheet glass does not automatically extend to profiled sections, and customs detains consignments where the CM/L scope does not match the imported product.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all thicknesses and sizes of glass profiles from a manufacturer?

No. The CM/L specifies the product scope, including dimensions and grades, covered under IS 2835:1987; glass outside the licensed size or grade range is not covered, and must be verified against the register before shipment.
