Compliance steps

1
Identify the material composition of the sliding door bolt before sourcing: stainless steel (IS 15834:2020), non-ferrous metal (IS 2681:1993), mild steel (IS 281:2009), or sliding locking bolt type (IS 7534:1985). The applicable IS determines which CM/L licence the foreign manufacturer must hold.

2
Verify the foreign manufacturer's BIS CM/L licence number against the relevant IS standard on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order. Confirm the licensed product scope covers the specific bolt type, material, and manufacturing facility for the consignment.

3
Ensure every sliding door bolt in the consignment bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L number per Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. Marking must appear on the product itself; marking on packaging alone does not satisfy the statutory requirement.

4
Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L number and the applicable IS standard on the bill of entry. Customs verifies the CM/L in real time against the BIS register; an absent, expired, or material-scope-mismatched licence triggers consignment detention, demurrage, and potential re-export or confiscation.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is treating the four Indian Standards as interchangeable and sourcing from a manufacturer whose CM/L covers only one material grade — then shipping a mixed consignment that includes bolt variants outside the licensed scope. Each IS maps to a distinct material family (stainless steel, non-ferrous, mild steel, sliding locking type), and a CM/L licence is scope-specific; a consignment containing bolts of a material not covered by the declared CM/L is detained in full, regardless of the conforming portion.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8301 60 00 require BIS certification?

Yes. Sliding door bolts and aldrops for use with padlocks require Bureau of Indian Standards ISI Mark Scheme CM/L certification under the Bolts, Nuts and Fasteners (Quality Control) Order, 2024, with effect from 12 July 2024. The applicable IS standard depends on the material of the bolt.

Which Indian Standard applies to which bolt material under this HSN?

IS 15834:2020 governs stainless steel sliding door bolts; IS 2681:1993 governs non-ferrous metal sliding door bolts; IS 281:2009 governs mild steel sliding door bolts; and IS 7534:1985 governs sliding locking bolts — all for use with padlocks.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all four bolt materials if the manufacturer produces them all?

No. A CM/L licence is standard-specific and scope-specific; a manufacturer must hold separate CM/L licences against each applicable IS for each material variant produced, and each licence must name the relevant manufacturing facility.

What is the enforcement date for the Bolts, Nuts and Fasteners Quality Control Order on this tariff line?

The Quality Control Order under S.O. 2771(E) took effect on 12 July 2024. Import of sliding door bolts classified under HSN 8301 60 00 without a valid, scope-matched BIS CM/L licence has been liable to detention from that date.
