HSN 8428 60 00 (teleferics, chair-lifts, ski-tow lines, and funicular traction mechanisms) is covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order. Conformity to IS 15041:2001 — governing textile flat woven webbing slings made of man-made fibres for general services — is mandatory under the ISI Mark Scheme with effect from 01 April 2025, by virtue of the Indutech Quality Control Order, 2024. No separate customs-clearance overlay beyond the BIS obligation applies to this tariff line.

Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 15041:2001 for textile flat woven webbing slings of man-made fibres. 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 webbing sling component 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 on packaging alone.

3
Confirm that the enforcement date applicable to the specific supplier is 01 April 2025. Domestic small and micro enterprises qualify for the extended date of 01 July 2025 under the MSMED Act, 2006, but this carve-out applies to domestic production only and does not extend to imported goods.

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

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is treating the QCO as applicable to the complete cable-car or funicular assembly rather than to the textile flat woven webbing slings made of man-made fibres that form one component within it. IS 15041:2001 is a component-level standard; an importer who obtains a CM/L check only at the assembly level — or who assumes the machinery heading insulates the consignment from the textile-component QCO — risks detention of the entire consignment on the webbing-sling component alone. Confirm explicitly with the supplier that the CM/L licence covers IS 15041:2001 flat woven webbing slings, not a different textile or machinery standard.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8428 60 00 require BIS certification?

Yes. Textile flat woven webbing slings of man-made fibres forming part of goods under this tariff line must conform to IS 15041:2001 under the ISI Mark Scheme, with effect from 01 April 2025, by virtue of the Indutech Quality Control Order, 2024.

Does the MSMED Act small and micro enterprise extension to 01 July 2025 apply to importers?

No. The extended enforcement date of 01 July 2025 under the Indutech Quality Control Order, 2024 applies only to small and micro enterprises engaged in domestic production as defined under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006; imported goods must comply from 01 April 2025.

Does the QCO apply to the complete teleferics or funicular assembly, or only to the webbing sling components?

IS 15041:2001 targets textile flat woven webbing slings made of man-made fibres for general services; the standard is component-specific and the CM/L obligation attaches to those sling components, not to the broader lifting machinery assembly.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all webbing sling specifications from one manufacturer?

No. A CM/L licence is scope-specific by fibre type, webbing width, load rating, and manufacturing facility; slings outside the licensed specification range or produced at an unlicensed plant are not covered.
