Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 2067:1975 for wrought aluminium wire for electrical purposes. Verify the supplier's CM/L number, licensed product scope, cross-sectional dimension range, and manufacturing facility on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.

2
Ensure each product bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L number under Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. The standard mark must appear on the product or on a label affixed to the product, not on outer packaging alone.

3
Confirm the applicable effective date for the supplier's enterprise category before shipment: general manufacturers and importers are subject from 1 October 2025; small enterprises from 1 January 2026; micro enterprises from 1 April 2026. The enterprise classification is determined under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 (27 of 2006).
S.O. 2021(E) dated 05-05-2025 · Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 (27 of 2006)
4
Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L 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 under Section 17 of the BIS Act, 2016.

5
Review paragraph 2 of S.O. 2021(E) for any notified exemptions applicable to the specific product variant or end-use. If an exemption applies, retain documentary evidence of the exemption basis with the consignment papers and quote it on the bill of entry.
S.O. 2021(E) dated 05-05-2025, para 2 (exemptions)

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is failing to distinguish between the general enforcement date of 1 October 2025 and the staggered dates for small and micro enterprises — importers sourcing from MSME-category overseas manufacturers may incorrectly assume the general date applies, triggering detention on consignments shipped between 1 October 2025 and the enterprise-specific date. The enterprise classification must be documented at the purchase-order stage, not reconstructed post-shipment; customs does not accept post-facto reclassification as grounds for release of a detained consignment.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7614 90 00 require BIS certification?

Yes. Wrought aluminium wire for electrical purposes classified under this tariff line must conform to IS 2067:1975 under the ISI Mark Scheme, with effect from 1 October 2025 under the Aluminium and Aluminium Alloy Products (Quality Control) Order, 2025 referenced in S.O. 2021(E).

Do the MSME staggered effective dates apply to importers or only to domestic manufacturers?

The staggered dates are tied to the enterprise classification of the manufacturer or importer under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006; importers who are themselves micro or small enterprises may benefit, but this must be established with documentary evidence before shipment.

What exemptions are available under the Aluminium and Aluminium Alloy Products (Quality Control) Order, 2025?

Exemptions are set out in paragraph 2 of S.O. 2021(E) dated 05-05-2025. Importers must review that paragraph for product-specific or end-use carve-outs and retain supporting documentation; the order does not grant a blanket exemption for any class of aluminium stranded wire.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all wire cross-sectional dimensions and product variants?

No. A CM/L licence is scope-specific by product specification, cross-sectional dimension range, and manufacturing facility; wire dimensions or facilities outside the licensed scope are not covered and will be detained on a mismatch with the BIS register.
