Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 14900:2018 for transparent float glass. 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 sheet or batch of wired 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. The standard mark must appear on the product or its primary label — not packaging alone.

3
Obtain and retain the supplier's test reports demonstrating conformity to IS 14900:2018 for the specific glass thickness and wire-insertion specification of the consignment. Test reports must reference the licensed CM/L number and manufacturing facility.

4
Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L number on the bill of entry. Customs verifies the CM/L in real time against the BIS register; an absent, expired, or product-scope-mismatched CM/L licence triggers consignment detention, demurrage, and potential re-export or confiscation.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that a CM/L licence issued for transparent float glass automatically covers wired glass of all thicknesses and wire configurations. IS 14900:2018 specifications are scope-specific by glass thickness and surface finish; a CM/L licence covering one thickness or surface category does not extend to variants outside the licensed scope. Shipments of wired glass in sheet dimensions or thicknesses outside the CM/L's licensed range are detained at port regardless of whether the ISI mark appears on the product.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7005 30 90 require BIS certification?

Yes. Wired float glass in sheets under this tariff line must conform to IS 14900:2018 under the ISI Mark Scheme, with effect from 31 December 2019, as notified under S.O. 03(E) and S.O. 1928(E) by the Transparent Float Glass (Quality Control) Order, 2021.

Does the Transparent Float Glass QCO cover all wired glass variants under HSN 7005 30 90?

The QCO applies to transparent float glass conforming to IS 14900:2018; the licensed scope is bounded by the thickness, wire configuration, and surface-treatment parameters specified in the CM/L. Variants outside those parameters are not covered by a given licence.

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

No. The regulatory record identifies Bureau of Indian Standards as the sole regulator for this tariff line; no Steel Import Monitoring System, Extended Producer Responsibility, or other customs-clearance overlay applies.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all manufacturing facilities and glass thicknesses of a supplier?

No. The CM/L is facility-specific and scope-specific by product specification; glass produced at an unlicensed plant, or in thicknesses outside the licensed range, is not covered and will be detained at port.
