BIS QCO APPLICABLE · ISI MARK SCHEME · IS 1660 · NIMS OVERLAY

HSN 7615 10 30 (other aluminium table, kitchen or household articles) is covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order. Conformity to IS 1660 is mandatory under the ISI Mark Scheme pursuant to the Cookware, Utensils and Cans for Foods and Beverages (Quality Control) Order, 2026, with effect from 16 January 2026; potable aluminium water bottles additionally require conformity to IS 17803:2022. Non-Ferrous Metals Import Monitoring System registration administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade applies as a separate customs-clearance overlay.

Compliance steps

1
Verify the foreign manufacturer's BIS CM/L licence number against IS 1660 (for cookware, utensils and cans) or IS 17803:2022 (for potable water bottles) on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order. Confirm the licensed product scope covers the specific article type and manufacturing facility.

2
Ensure every article bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L licence number under Scheme-I of Schedule-II of the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. Marking must appear on the product itself and not solely on the outer packaging.

3
Register the consignment on the Non-Ferrous Metals Import Monitoring System portal before the expected date of arrival. Fee ₹500, registration valid for 75 days; apply no earlier than 60 days before arrival. The minimum advance registration requirement of 5 days has been abolished.

4
Quote both the supplier's BIS CM/L number and the NFMIMS registration number on the bill of entry. Customs verifies the CM/L in real time against the BIS register and the NFMIMS registration against the DGFT portal; either absent, expired, or scope-mismatched triggers consignment detention.

5
If the supplier or importer is a micro or small enterprise registered on the Udyam Portal, document the applicable phased-implementation date (01-01-2027 for small enterprises; 01-04-2027 for micro enterprises under IS 1660; 06-09-2024 for small and 06-12-2024 for micro under IS 17803:2022) and the enterprise size certification. The QCO exemption under Para 2 of S.O. 219(E) must be claimed at time of clearance with supporting Chartered Accountant certification.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is treating a single CM/L licence as covering both general aluminium cookware under IS 1660 and potable water bottles under IS 17803:2022 — they are governed by two separate Quality Control Orders with different enforcement dates and different MSME phased-implementation schedules. An importer sourcing a mixed consignment of cookware and aluminium water bottles must verify two separate CM/L scope entries on the BIS register before shipment; a licence covering cookware does not extend to water bottles, and a scope mismatch on either product category triggers detention of the entire consignment at port.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7615 10 30 require BIS certification?

Yes. Aluminium cookware and utensils require conformity to IS 1660 under the ISI Mark Scheme with effect from 16 January 2026, and aluminium potable water bottles require conformity to IS 17803:2022 with effect from 06 June 2024; both are mandatory under separate Quality Control Orders.

Is NFMIMS registration required separately from BIS QCO compliance?

Yes. Non-Ferrous Metals Import Monitoring System registration is administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade and is independent of the BIS QCO obligation. Fee ₹500, validity 75 days, apply no earlier than 60 days before expected arrival.

Do phased implementation dates apply to MSME enterprises for either standard?

Yes. Under IS 1660, the general implementation date is 01-10-2026; small enterprises 01-01-2027; micro enterprises 01-04-2027. Under IS 17803:2022, small enterprises were required from 06-09-2024 and micro enterprises from 06-12-2024, subject to Udyam Portal registration and Chartered Accountant certification.

Does a single CM/L licence cover both aluminium cookware and aluminium potable water bottles?

No. IS 1660 and IS 17803:2022 are separate standards under separate Quality Control Orders; a CM/L licence is scope-specific, and coverage under one standard does not extend to the other. Both must be independently verified on the BIS register before shipment.
