Compliance steps

1
Identify which QCO stream governs the part being imported: hermetic motor-compressor parts fall under IS 10617:2018 (S.O. 4354(E)); electric ceiling-type fan parts fall under IS 374:2019 (S.O. 3641(E)). Confirm the applicable standard with the supplier in writing before raising the purchase order.

2
Verify the foreign manufacturer's BIS CM/L licence number against the relevant IS (IS 10617:2018 or IS 374:2019) on the BIS online register. The licensed scope must cover the specific part, product variant, and manufacturing facility address of the consignment.

3
Ensure each part bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L number as required under Scheme-I of Schedule-II of the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. Marking must appear on the product itself; packaging-only marking does not satisfy the QCO requirement.

4
For electric fan part imports, obtain Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 before import. Micro enterprises registered under the MSMED Act, 2006 are exempt from EPR. 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
5
Verify applicability of the Udyam-registered micro-enterprise exemption: enterprises with plant and machinery investment not exceeding ₹1 crore and turnover not exceeding ₹5 crore in the previous financial year, certified by a Chartered Accountant, are exempt from the QCO. Retain the Chartered Accountant certificate for customs production.

A word of counsel

The single most common failure on this residual-parts tariff line is importing under a CM/L licence whose scope is the finished appliance (the complete hermetic compressor or ceiling fan) rather than the specific ancillary part or sub-assembly. A CM/L licence is scope-specific: parts and functional sub-assemblies supplied as aftermarket spares must be independently licensed, and customs port officers increasingly verify part-level scope against the BIS register. An importer relying on a supplier's appliance-level CM/L for separately shipped component consignments faces consignment detention and, if repeated, monetary penalty under Section 17 of the BIS Act, 2016.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8414 90 90 require BIS certification?

Yes. Parts of hermetic motor-compressors must conform to IS 10617:2018 under the ISI Mark Scheme from 01 October 2023; parts of electric ceiling-type fans must conform to IS 374:2019 from 15 February 2024. Both require a valid CM/L licence from Bureau of Indian Standards.

Are there phased enforcement dates for small and micro enterprises for the ceiling fan QCO?

Yes. Under S.O. 3641(E), the effective date for small enterprises is 15 May 2024 and for micro enterprises is 15 August 2024, as defined under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006.

Does the Udyam micro-enterprise exemption under S.O. 777(E) remove the BIS QCO obligation entirely?

Yes, for enterprises whose investment in plant and machinery does not exceed ₹1 crore and turnover does not exceed ₹5 crore for the previous financial year, certified by a Chartered Accountant and registered on the Udyam Portal. The exemption must be documented and retained for customs scrutiny.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all parts and variants supplied by one manufacturer?

No. The CM/L licence is scope-specific by part type, product specification, and manufacturing facility; ancillary parts or sub-assemblies outside the licensed scope, or produced at an unlicensed plant, are not covered and attract detention at port.
