Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 374:2019. Verify the supplier's CM/L number, licensed product scope, and manufacturing facility address on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.
    Electric Ceiling Type Fans (Quality Control) Order, 2023 · S.O. 3641(E) dated 09-08-2023
  2. 2
    Ensure every fan bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L number per Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. The marking must appear on the product itself, not on packaging alone.

  3. 3
    Obtain Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board before import. Micro enterprises as defined in the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 are exempt. Quote the EPR authorisation number on the bill of entry.
    Schedule-I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 · G.S.R. 801(E) dated 02-11-2022
  4. 4
    Ensure compliance with the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (Appliance Labelling and Compliance) Regulations, 2026. The BEE labelling reference must accompany the consignment-level documentation at the time of customs clearance.

  5. 5
    If the foreign supplier is an enterprise with investment in plant and machinery not exceeding ₹1 crore and turnover not exceeding ₹5 crore for the previous financial year as certified by a Chartered Accountant and registered on the Udyam Portal, document the exemption basis. Verify applicability of S.O. 777(E) and S.O. 776(E) for your specific consignment.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is failing to account for the staggered enforcement dates: large enterprises have been in scope from 15 February 2024, small enterprises from 15 May 2024, and micro enterprises from 15 August 2024. An importer sourcing from a foreign manufacturer that qualifies as a micro or small enterprise under India's MSMED Act thresholds may incorrectly assume the QCO exemption extends to the import transaction itself — it does not. The exemption under S.O. 777(E) runs to Indian domestic manufacturers registered on the Udyam Portal, not to foreign suppliers, and the CM/L obligation falls on the manufacturing entity, not the importer.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 8414 51 90 require BIS certification?
Yes. Fans classified under this tariff line must conform to IS 374:2019 and bear the ISI mark under a CM/L licence issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards, with effect from 15 February 2024 under the Electric Ceiling Type Fans (Quality Control) Order, 2023.
Is the Udyam-portal micro-enterprise exemption available to foreign manufacturers?
No. The exemption under S.O. 777(E) applies to enterprises registered on India's Udyam Portal meeting specified investment and turnover thresholds; foreign manufacturers are not eligible, and the CM/L obligation applies to them regardless of enterprise size.
Are EPR authorisation and BEE labelling required in addition to BIS QCO compliance?
Yes. Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 and Bureau of Energy Efficiency labelling under BEE Notification 5506/BEE/S&L/AL/2025-26 each apply as independent customs-clearance overlays; non-compliance with any one triggers consignment detention.
Does a single CM/L licence cover all fan types and models from one manufacturer?
No. The CM/L licence is scope-specific by product type, model, and manufacturing facility; fan variants or plants outside the licensed scope are not covered, and customs detains the consignment on a scope mismatch with the BIS register.
