Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 18427:2024 and, where applicable, IS 14407:2024. Verify the supplier's CM/L number, licensed product scope, and manufacturing facility on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.

2
Confirm which QCO and IS governs the specific product: IS 18427:2024 applies to printed aluminium containers for food, beverages, edible oils, aerosols, and industrial fills; IS 14407:2024 applies to aluminium collapsible tubes and rigid cans for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food. The CM/L must match the product's intended end-use.

3
Ensure every container in the consignment 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 itself; packaging-only marking is insufficient.

4
Determine the enterprise size classification of your supplier — general (non-micro, non-small), small, or micro — as the implementation dates differ. General enterprises must comply from 01-10-2025 (IS 18427) and 01-10-2026 (IS 14407); small enterprises from 01-01-2026 and 01-01-2027; micro enterprises from 01-04-2026 and 01-04-2027 respectively.
S.O. 3850(E) dated 21-08-2025 · S.O. 219(E) dated 15-01-2026
5
Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L number and the applicable IS standard on the bill of entry. If the consignment may qualify for an exemption, document the basis under Paragraph 2 of the applicable Quality Control Order. Absence of a valid CM/L or ISI marking triggers consignment detention at port.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is treating the two Quality Control Orders as interchangeable and obtaining a CM/L under only one IS when the consignment spans both product families. IS 18427:2024 and IS 14407:2024 are governed by separate QCO notifications with distinct implementation timelines; a printed aluminium tube supplied for pharmaceutical use must bear a CM/L against IS 14407:2024, while the same tube supplied for food or beverage use must satisfy IS 18427:2024 — a scope mismatch on the CM/L is grounds for detention regardless of ISI mark presence.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7612 10 30 require BIS certification?

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

What are the implementation dates for the two Quality Control Orders covering this HSN?

Under S.O. 3850(E), IS 18427:2024 applies to general enterprises from 01-10-2025, small enterprises from 01-01-2026, and micro enterprises from 01-04-2026. Under S.O. 219(E), IS 14407:2024 applies to general enterprises from 01-10-2026, small enterprises from 01-01-2027, and micro enterprises from 01-04-2027.

Is there any exemption from the QCO obligation for this product?

Yes. Paragraph 2 of each Quality Control Order provides for exemptions; importers relying on any carve-out must document the exemption basis and present it at the time of customs clearance.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all end-use variants of printed aluminium collapsible containers?

No. The CM/L is IS-specific and scope-specific; a licence against IS 18427:2024 does not cover product classified under IS 14407:2024, and containers from a facility outside the licensed scope are not covered.
