Compliance steps

1
Verify the foreign supplier's BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme R-number on the BIS portal against IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023. Confirm the registration is model-specific, current, and covers the exact OLED display module variant being imported.

2
Determine whether the consignment is covered by the concurrent-running window. For goods at serial no. 65 of the Order, IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 and IS 616:2017 run concurrently with IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023 until 01-05-2026; for all other notified goods, concurrent running is permitted until 01-11-2028.
S.O. 4997(E) dated 29-10-2025 · Electronics and Information Technology Goods (Requirements of Compulsory Registration) Order, 2021 as amended
3
Ensure each display module bears the standard mark and the supplier's BIS R-number under Scheme-II of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. Marking must appear on the product unit; packaging-only marking is not compliant.

4
Quote the BIS R-number on the bill of entry and ensure compliance with General Note 2(c) of the ITC (HS) Import Policy and policy condition 5 of Chapter 85. Also ensure compliance with DGFT Notification 13/2024-25 dated 20-05-2024 regarding paragraph 2.31(1)(b) of the Foreign Trade Policy 2023.

5
Ensure compliance with paragraphs 1 to 4 of Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs Instruction 27/2025-Cus dated 26-08-2025 before filing the bill of entry. Customs verification will include checking the BIS R-number against the BIS portal in real time; a mismatch or absent registration triggers consignment detention.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the concurrent-running window as a permanent licence to import against IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 or IS 616:2017 without tracking the applicable deadline. The cut-off differs by product serial number — 01 May 2026 for serial no. 65 goods, 01 November 2028 for all others — and after those dates IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 and IS 616:2017 stand withdrawn. An R-number issued against a withdrawn standard is invalid at customs regardless of its printed validity date, triggering detention and potential re-export of the consignment.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8524 92 10 require BIS certification?

Yes. OLED flat panel display modules under this tariff line require Bureau of Indian Standards registration under the Compulsory Registration Scheme against IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023 with effect from 18 March 2021, under S.O. 1248(E) as amended by S.O. 4997(E).

Can the supplier still hold an R-number under IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 or IS 616:2017?

Yes, during the concurrent-running window. IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 and IS 616:2017 run concurrently with IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023 until 01-05-2026 for serial no. 65 goods and until 01-11-2028 for all other notified goods, after which both older standards are withdrawn.

What is the significance of sub-heading 8471 30 or 8471 41 in the product description?

The tariff description limits this CTI to OLED display modules destined for use in portable digital automatic data processing machines (8471 30) or other digital automatic data processing machines (8471 41); display modules intended for other end-use applications may fall under different sub-headings of 8524.

Does a single BIS R-number cover all OLED display module variants from one manufacturer?

No. The R-number is model-specific; variants outside the registered model code are not covered, and customs will detain the consignment on a model-code mismatch with the BIS portal.
