Of which the maximum cross-sectional dimension exceeds 6 mm but does not exceed 7 mm

Aluminium wire of cross-section exceeding 6 mm up to 7 mm

BIS QCO APPLICABLE · ISI MARK SCHEME · IS 739

HSN 7605 29 10 (aluminium wire with maximum cross-sectional dimension exceeding 6 mm but not exceeding 7 mm) is covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order. Conformity to IS 739:1992 (general engineering wire) or IS 2067:1975 (electrical-purpose wire) is mandatory under the ISI Mark Scheme by virtue of the Aluminium and Aluminium Alloy Products (Quality Control) Order, 2025, with effect from 01 October 2025 for general importers. Micro enterprises and small enterprises have phased effective dates of 01 April 2026 and 01 January 2026 respectively under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006.

Compliance steps

1
Identify the intended use of the aluminium wire before sourcing: wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy wire for general engineering purposes falls under IS 739:1992; wrought aluminium wire for electrical purposes falls under IS 2067:1975. Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against the applicable standard.
Aluminium and Aluminium Alloy Products (Quality Control) Order, 2025 · S.O. 2021(E) dated 05-05-2025
2
Verify the supplier's CM/L licence number, licensed product scope, and licensed manufacturing facility address on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order. The licence must cover the specific wire alloy, cross-sectional dimension range, and manufacturing plant.
Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018 · S.O. 2021(E) dated 05-05-2025
3
Ensure every consignment of wire bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L number as required under Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. Marking must appear on the product or on labels affixed to coils or spools, not on outer packaging alone.

4
Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L number and the applicable Indian Standard (IS 739:1992 or IS 2067:1975) on the bill of entry. Customs verifies the CM/L in real time against the BIS register; an absent, expired, or scope-mismatched CM/L triggers consignment detention.

5
If the importing entity qualifies as a micro enterprise or small enterprise under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006, verify the applicable effective date — 01 April 2026 for micro enterprises and 01 January 2026 for small enterprises — and confirm Udyam registration is current before relying on any phased-compliance window. Consult paragraph 2 of S.O. 2021(E) for exemption conditions.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is importing wire labelled as general-engineering-purpose aluminium wire under IS 739:1992 when the actual end use is electrical conductors — a use covered by IS 2067:1975. The two standards have different mechanical and electrical property requirements; a CM/L licence against one does not cover the other, and customs can require test reports at port to verify conformity with the declared standard. Establish the end-use classification in writing with the supplier before the purchase order, because a post-arrival standard mismatch results in detention and mandatory re-export or destruction.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7605 29 10 require BIS certification?

Yes. Aluminium wire within this cross-section range requires conformity to IS 739:1992 or IS 2067:1975 under the ISI Mark Scheme, with effect from 01 October 2025 for general importers, by virtue of the Aluminium and Aluminium Alloy Products (Quality Control) Order, 2025.

Which Indian Standard applies — IS 739:1992 or IS 2067:1975?

IS 739:1992 applies to wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy wire for general engineering purposes; IS 2067:1975 applies to wrought aluminium wire for electrical purposes. The applicable standard is determined by the intended end use of the wire being imported.

Do phased effective dates apply for small and micro enterprises?

Yes. Under S.O. 2021(E), the QCO obligation takes effect on 01 January 2026 for small enterprises and 01 April 2026 for micro enterprises, as defined under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all aluminium wire alloys and cross-sectional dimensions from the same manufacturer?

No. A CM/L licence is scope-specific by alloy designation, dimension range, applicable Indian Standard, and manufacturing facility; wire outside the licensed scope or from an unlicensed plant is not covered.
