Compliance steps

1
Verify the foreign manufacturer holds a current Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L licence against IS 14407:2024 and IS 18427:2024 on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order. The licensed product scope must cover lacquered aluminium collapsible tubular containers.
Cookware, Utensils and Cans for Foods and Beverages (QC) Order 2026 · S.O. 219(E) dated 15-01-2026; Cookware, Utensils and Cans for Foods and Beverages (QC) Order 2025 · S.O. 3850(E) dated 21-08-2025
2
Confirm which IS applies to the consignment date. IS 18427:2024 general-enterprise implementation is 01-10-2025; IS 14407:2024 general-enterprise implementation is 01-10-2026. For small enterprises the respective dates are 01-01-2026 and 01-01-2027; for micro enterprises, 01-04-2026 and 01-04-2027.

3
Ensure each container bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L licence number under Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. Marking must appear on the product itself, not only on outer packaging.

4
Review Para 2 of each QC Order for applicable exemptions before filing the bill of entry. Where an exemption applies, retain documentary evidence of the exemption basis; absence of that documentation converts an exempt consignment into a detainable one.
Para 2, Cookware, Utensils and Cans for Foods and Beverages (QC) Order 2026 · S.O. 219(E) dated 15-01-2026; Para 2, Cookware, Utensils and Cans for Foods and Beverages (QC) Order 2025 · S.O. 3850(E) dated 21-08-2025
5
Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L licence number on the bill of entry. Customs verifies the CM/L in real time against the BIS register; an absent, expired, or scope-mismatched licence triggers consignment detention and potential re-export or confiscation.

A word of counsel

The most consequential error on this tariff line is treating the two QC Orders as alternatives rather than as sequenced, overlapping obligations. IS 18427:2024 general-enterprise implementation preceded IS 14407:2024 general-enterprise implementation by a full year; consignments shipped in the intervening window must satisfy IS 18427:2024 marking while also confirming whether the IS 14407:2024 CM/L requirement has engaged for the specific enterprise category. Importers who obtain a CM/L against one standard only, without checking the staged roll-in dates, face detention on the standard not yet covered.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7612 10 20 require BIS certification?

Yes. Lacquered aluminium collapsible tubular containers must conform to IS 14407:2024 and IS 18427:2024 under the ISI Mark Scheme; import is permitted only from manufacturers holding a current BIS CM/L licence covering the relevant product scope.

Do the two Indian Standards have different implementation dates?

Yes. IS 18427:2024 applies to general enterprises from 01-10-2025, small enterprises from 01-01-2026, and micro enterprises from 01-04-2026. IS 14407:2024 applies to general enterprises from 01-10-2026, small enterprises from 01-01-2027, and micro enterprises from 01-04-2027.

Are there exemptions under the Cookware, Utensils and Cans for Foods and Beverages Quality Control Orders?

Yes. Para 2 of each QC Order sets out exemptions; importers relying on an exemption must retain documentary evidence of the exemption basis at the time of clearance, or the consignment remains subject to the full BIS marking requirement.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all aluminium collapsible tube specifications and manufacturing facilities?

No. A CM/L licence is scope-specific by standard, product specification, and licensed manufacturing facility; containers outside the licensed specification or from an unlicensed plant are not covered and will be detained at customs.
