Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 374:2019 for electric ceiling-type fans. Verify the supplier's CM/L number, licensed product scope, and manufacturing facility on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.

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

3
Obtain Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board before import. Quote the EPR authorisation number on the bill of entry. Micro enterprises as defined in the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 are exempt from EPR.
Schedule-I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 · G.S.R. 801(E) dated 02-11-2022
4
Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L number and the CPCB EPR authorisation number on the bill of entry. Customs verifies both against the issuing portals in real time; an absent, expired, or scope-mismatched CM/L triggers consignment detention.

5
If the importer is an enterprise claiming the Udyam-registered micro-enterprise exemption from the QCO, obtain a Chartered Accountant certificate confirming investment in plant and machinery does not exceed ₹1 crore and annual turnover does not exceed ₹5 crore for the previous financial year. Retain the certificate and Udyam registration as documentary proof at the time of customs examination.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is overlooking the staggered enforcement schedule: the QCO obligation took effect on 15 February 2024 for large enterprises, 15 May 2024 for small enterprises, and 15 August 2024 for micro enterprises. An importer whose supplier transitioned from a non-QCO facility mid-year may hold a CM/L issued after the large-enterprise date but before the small-enterprise date — customs verifies the CM/L issue date against the applicable enterprise-category effective date, and a mismatch results in detention even where the licence itself appears current.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8414 59 90 require BIS certification?

Yes. Electric ceiling-type fans are subject to the ISI Mark Scheme under IS 374:2019; import is permitted only from manufacturers holding a current BIS CM/L licence, with effect from 15 February 2024 for large enterprises under the Electric Ceiling Type Fans (Quality Control) Order, 2023.

Is EPR authorisation required separately from BIS QCO compliance?

Yes. Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation is administered by the Central Pollution Control Board under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 and is independent of the BIS QCO obligation. Micro enterprises as defined in the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 are exempt from EPR.

Do micro and small enterprises face the same enforcement date as large enterprises?

No. The enforcement date is 15 February 2024 for large enterprises, 15 May 2024 for small enterprises, and 15 August 2024 for micro enterprises. An enterprise claiming a later effective date must hold current Udyam registration and a Chartered Accountant certificate confirming the qualifying thresholds.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all ceiling-fan models and manufacturing facilities?

No. A CM/L licence is scope-specific by model, fan dimensions, and licensed manufacturing facility; fan variants or production plants outside the licensed scope are not covered, and customs detains the consignment on any scope mismatch.
