Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 2403:2014. Verify the supplier's CM/L number, licensed product scope, and manufacturing facility on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.

2
Ensure every part 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 appear on the product itself, not on the packaging alone.

Confirm the applicable enforcement date against your supplier's enterprise classification: 01 October 2024 for general enterprises, 01 January 2025 for small enterprises, and 01 April 2025 for micro enterprises as defined under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is treating the staggered enforcement dates as a single uniform date. Importers who supply to manufacturers classified as general enterprises but source from a supplier whose CM/L licence was obtained only after 01 January 2025 — the small-enterprise deadline — face detention if the consignment arrived before the licence was in force for that facility. Confirm the manufacturer's enterprise classification, its CM/L issuance date, and the consignment arrival date together before committing to any shipment.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7315 19 00 require BIS certification?

Yes. Parts of precision roller and bush chains falling under this tariff line must conform to IS 2403:2014 and bear the ISI mark under a CM/L licence issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards, by virtue of S.O. 2174(E) dated 03-06-2024.

Is Steel Import Monitoring System registration required separately from BIS QCO compliance?

Yes. SIMS registration is administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade and is independent of the BIS QCO obligation; fee ₹500, validity 75 days, apply no earlier than 60 days before arrival.

Do the staggered enforcement dates affect when the CM/L requirement becomes binding?

Yes. The BIS CM/L obligation under IS 2403:2014 became binding on 01 October 2024 for general enterprises, 01 January 2025 for small enterprises, and 01 April 2025 for micro enterprises as defined in the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all chain part variants and manufacturing facilities?

No. A CM/L licence is scope-specific by product variant, dimensional range, and manufacturing facility; chain parts outside the licensed scope or from an unlicensed plant are not covered and attract detention at port.
