BIS QCO APPLICABLE · ISI MARK SCHEME · IS 2787 · SIMS OVERLAY

HSN 7321 19 90 (other stoves and appliances, including those for solid fuel) is covered by multiple Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Orders. Conformity to IS 2787, IS 10109, IS 1342, and IS 17153:2019 is mandatory under the ISI Mark Scheme, with enforcement dates ranging from the Oil Pressure Stoves (Quality Control) Order, 1997 through 12 February 2024 for piped natural gas stoves. Steel Import Monitoring System registration administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade applies as a separate customs-clearance overlay.

Compliance steps

1
Identify the precise product type within this tariff line before sourcing: oil pressure stoves (offset burner type → IS 10109; multi-burner → IS 2787; general → IS 1342), domestic gas stoves for LPG (IS 4246:2002), or domestic gas stoves for piped natural gas (IS 17153:2019). Each type carries a distinct QCO and CM/L scope; a licence against the wrong standard does not satisfy the QCO obligation.

2
Verify the foreign manufacturer's BIS CM/L licence number against the applicable IS standard (IS 10109, IS 2787, IS 1342, IS 4246:2002, or IS 17153:2019) on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order. Confirm the licensed product scope, burner configuration, and manufacturing facility address are current.

3
Ensure every appliance bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L number on the product itself, not only on packaging. For IS 17153:2019 piped-natural-gas stoves, note the phased MSMED enforcement: small enterprises from 12-05-2024, micro enterprises from 12-08-2024.

4
Register the consignment on the Steel Import Monitoring System portal not earlier than 60 days before the expected arrival date and pay the ₹500 registration fee. The automatic registration number is valid for 75 days; confirm it remains within validity on the date of arrival.

5
Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L number and the SIMS registration number on the bill of entry. Customs verifies both in real time; either absent, expired, or scope-mismatched triggers consignment detention. If the consignment is a re-import for packaging only or an SEZ-to-DTA movement, document the applicable SIMS exemption basis.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is importing a consignment under a single CM/L licence without recognising that HSN 7321 19 90 encompasses multiple product sub-types, each governed by a separate QCO and IS standard. A CM/L against IS 2787 (multi-burner oil pressure stoves) does not authorise import of piped-natural-gas stoves under IS 17153:2019, and vice versa; customs detention follows regardless of whether a valid licence exists for a different product type within the same tariff heading. Confirm the precise sub-type and the corresponding IS standard before the purchase order, not at the port.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7321 19 90 require BIS certification?

Yes. Depending on product sub-type, conformity is mandatory under the ISI Mark Scheme against IS 2787, IS 10109, IS 1342, IS 4246:2002, or IS 17153:2019 under the respective Quality Control Orders; import is permitted only from manufacturers holding a current CM/L licence against the applicable standard.

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. The fee is ₹500, registration is valid for 75 days, and application may be made no earlier than 60 days before the expected arrival date.

Do the phased enforcement dates for IS 17153:2019 apply to all importers equally?

No. The general enforcement date is 12 February 2024; small enterprises as defined under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 were given until 12 May 2024, and micro enterprises until 12 August 2024. Enterprise classification must be documented to rely on the extended dates.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all stove types classifiable under HSN 7321 19 90?

No. Each QCO and IS standard is product-specific; a CM/L for multi-burner oil pressure stoves under IS 2787 does not cover LPG stoves under IS 4246:2002 or piped-natural-gas stoves under IS 17153:2019, and customs will detain any consignment where the CM/L scope does not match the imported product.
