Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 15041:2001 for flat woven webbing slings of man-made fibres. Verify the supplier's CM/L number, licensed product scope, and manufacturing facility address on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.

2
Ensure every webbing sling 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
Retain the supplier's test and conformity documentation against IS 15041:2001 covering the specific sling type, load rating, and fibre composition. Customs may call for conformity evidence at the time of assessment; absence of documentation supports a finding of non-compliance.

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 CM/L number triggers consignment detention, demurrage, and potential re-export or confiscation.

Note that the small and micro enterprise concession under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 applies only to domestic producers; the deferred enforcement date of 01 July 2025 does not extend to importers, who are subject to the 01 April 2025 date.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is importing generic textile webbing slings — or metal-component hoist parts — under HSN 8431 10 10 without recognising that the BIS QCO obligation under IS 15041:2001 is specifically scoped to flat woven webbing slings of man-made fibres intended for general lifting services. A supplier whose CM/L covers a different sling construction, fibre type, or product category does not satisfy the IS 15041:2001 licensing requirement, and the consignment is liable to detention regardless of the licence's face validity.
