Compliance steps

1
Verify the foreign supplier holds a current BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme R-number against IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023 on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order. Confirm the R-number is model-specific and covers the exact OLED display module being imported.

2
Determine whether the specific module falls under serial no. 65 of the QCO schedule or under another serial number, as the concurrent-running window differs. For serial no. 65 goods, IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 and IS 616:2017 are concurrently valid until 01-05-2026; for all other covered goods the concurrent window extends until 01-11-2028.

3
Ensure each module bears the BIS standard mark and the supplier's R-number as required under Scheme-II of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. Marking must appear on the product or its smallest retail unit, not packaging alone.

4
Ensure compliance with DGFT Notification 13/2024-25 dated 20-05-2024 with respect to paragraph 2.31(1)(b) of the Foreign Trade Policy 2023, paragraph 2(c) of the general notes to the import policy, and policy condition 5 of Chapter 85 of ITC(HS) 2022.

5
Ensure compliance with paragraphs 1 to 4 of CBIC Instruction 27/2025-Cus dated 26-08-2025. Quote the supplier's BIS R-number on the bill of entry; customs verifies it in real time against the BIS register and detention follows any mismatch, expiry, or scope gap.

A word of counsel

The most consequential error on this tariff line is treating the concurrent-running window as a permanent escape from IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023 — importers source from suppliers registered only under IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 or IS 616:2017 without confirming whether those standards remain valid for the specific serial number in the schedule and whether the concurrent window has already closed. After the applicable cut-off date, registration under the legacy standards alone is insufficient, and consignments will be detained regardless of prior compliance history. Confirm the serial-number classification of the module and the correct concurrent window before every purchase order.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8524 92 30 require BIS certification?

Yes. OLED flat panel display modules for goods of sub-heading 8528 72 or 8528 73 must conform to IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023 and bear the BIS standard mark under the Compulsory Registration Scheme with effect from 18 March 2021.

Can a supplier still use IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 or IS 616:2017 registration for this HSN?

Only during the applicable concurrent-running window. For goods at serial no. 65 the window closes on 01-05-2026; for all other covered goods it closes on 01-11-2028, after which IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 and IS 616:2017 are withdrawn and registration under IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023 becomes the sole valid basis.

Are there additional DGFT or CBIC policy conditions specific to this tariff item?

Yes. DGFT Notification 13/2024-25 dated 20-05-2024 applies with respect to FTP 2023 paragraph 2.31(1)(b) and policy condition 5 of Chapter 85; CBIC Instruction 27/2025-Cus dated 26-08-2025 paragraphs 1 to 4 also apply and must be addressed before filing the bill of entry.

Does a single R-number cover all OLED module variants from the same manufacturer?

No. The R-number under the Compulsory Registration Scheme is model-specific; display modules of different size, resolution, or product specification require separate registrations, and customs detains consignments where the bill of entry model code does not match the registered R-number.
