Non-electric solid-fuel and oil-pressure domestic appliances of iron or steel
HSN 7321 89 90 (other non-electric domestic appliances for solid fuel and oil pressure, of iron or steel) is covered by multiple Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Orders. Conformity to IS 10109, IS 2787, and IS 1342 is mandatory under the ISI Mark Scheme for oil-pressure stoves with effect from the Oil Pressure Stoves (Quality Control) Order, 1997; IS 17153:2019 applies to domestic gas stoves for use with piped natural gas with effect from 12 February 2024. Steel Import Monitoring System registration and Bureau of Energy Efficiency labelling apply as separate customs-clearance overlays.
Procedural directions for customs clearance are issued by: Directorate General of Foreign Trade.
- 1Identify which QCO governs the specific product variant: IS 10109 for oil-pressure stoves (offset burner type), IS 2787 for multi-burner oil-pressure stoves, IS 1342 for oil-pressure stoves generally, and IS 17153:2019 for domestic gas stoves for use with piped natural gas. Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer whose licence covers the applicable standard and product scope.Oil Pressure Stoves (Quality Control) Order, 1997 · S.O. 451(E) dated 16-06-1997; Domestic Gas Stoves for use with Piped Natural Gas (Quality Control) Order, 2023 · S.O. 3584(E) dated 09-08-2023
- 2Verify the supplier's CM/L licence number, licensed product scope, and manufacturing facility address on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order. Confirm that the specific stove type, burner configuration, and fuel type are within the licensed scope.ISI Mark Scheme · Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018
- 3Ensure every unit bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L number on the product itself, not on packaging alone. For piped-natural-gas stoves, the marking obligation under Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018 applies from 12-02-2024 for regular enterprises, 12-05-2024 for small enterprises, and 12-08-2024 for micro enterprises.S.O. 3584(E) dated 09-08-2023 · BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018 · Scheme-I of Schedule-II
- 4Register the consignment on the Steel Import Monitoring System portal not earlier than 60 days before the expected arrival date. Fee ₹500, registration valid for 75 days from issue. Re-imports for packaging only, and SEZ-to-DTA movements, are exempt from SIMS registration.DGFT Notification 33/2015-20 dated 28-09-2020; DGFT Notification 28/2023 dated 28-08-2023; DGFT Policy Circular 38/2015-20 dated 19-01-2022
- 5Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L number and the SIMS registration number on the bill of entry. Ensure compliance with the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (Appliance Labelling and Compliance) Regulations, 2026 for appliances within the labelling scope. Customs verifies the CM/L in real time; an absent, expired, or scope-mismatched licence triggers consignment detention.BEE Notification 5506/BEE/S&L/AL/2025-26 dated 26-12-2025; BIS Act, 2016; Customs Act, 1962
The single most common error on this tariff line is assuming that one CM/L licence — or one QCO notification — covers all product variants within the heading. This HSN attracts three distinct QCOs across four Indian Standards, each tied to a specific stove type and fuel: an importer shipping a multi-burner oil-pressure stove on a CM/L issued only for IS 10109 (offset burner type) presents an out-of-scope licence, which customs treats identically to no licence at all, triggering detention and potential re-export. Verify the fuel type and burner configuration of every SKU against the CM/L scope before the purchase order is placed.
