HSN 8528 62 00 (monitors capable of directly connecting to and designed for use with an automatic data processing machine of heading 8471) is covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order. Conformity to IS 13252 (with concurrent running permitted against IS/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023 until 01 May 2026) is mandatory under the Compulsory Registration Scheme by virtue of the Electronics and Information Technology Goods (Requirements for Compulsory Registration) Order, 2021.

Compliance steps

1
Verify the foreign supplier's BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme R-number on the BIS portal against IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 or IS/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023 as applicable to the model. The R-number must be model-specific, current, and scope-matched to the monitor variant on the shipping bill date.

2
Note the concurrent-running transition: for goods at serial no. 65 of the CRS Order, concurrent running of IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 and IS 616:2017 with IS/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023 is permitted only until 01 May 2026; for all other notified goods in this category, concurrent running continues until 01 November 2028, after which IS 13252 and IS 616 stand withdrawn.

3
If the monitor incorporates wireless functionality operating in a licence-exempt band, obtain Equipment Type Approval via self-declaration on the SaralSanchar portal and submit the ETA certificate at customs. For wireless equipment requiring a WPC import licence, apply 30 days prior to shipment arrival.

4
Obtain Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board before import, as monitors are listed under Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022. MSMED Act 2006 micro enterprises are exempt from the EPR requirement.
G.S.R. 801(E) dated 02-11-2022 · Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022
5
Quote the BIS R-number and the CPCB EPR authorisation number on the bill of entry, and ensure compliance with DGFT Notification 13/24-25 and CBIC Instruction 27/2025-CUS. Customs verifies each reference independently; any absent, expired, or scope-mismatched reference triggers consignment detention.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is assuming that a monitor's existing BIS R-number obtained against IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 remains valid indefinitely for HSN 8528 62 00 goods falling at serial no. 65 of the CRS Order. For those goods, IS 13252 and IS 616:2017 stand withdrawn on 01 May 2026, and imports thereafter must be registered against IS/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023 alone; shipping on a post-withdrawal IS 13252 R-number exposes the consignment to detention and the importer to prosecution under the BIS Act, 2016.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8528 62 00 require BIS certification?

Yes. Monitors under this tariff line require Bureau of Indian Standards registration under the Compulsory Registration Scheme against IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 or IS/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023 under the Electronics and Information Technology Goods (Requirements for Compulsory Registration) Order, 2021, with effect from 01 May 2026 for the relevant serial no. 65 goods.

Is WPC type approval required separately from BIS CRS compliance?

Yes, if the monitor incorporates wireless functionality. Licence-exempt wireless equipment requires Equipment Type Approval via self-declaration on the SaralSanchar portal; wireless equipment outside exempt bands requires a separate WPC import licence applied for 30 days before shipment arrival.

Until when can importers use an R-number registered against IS 13252 (Part 1):2010?

For goods at serial no. 65 of the CRS Order, concurrent running of IS 13252 and IS 616:2017 with IS/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023 is permitted until 01 May 2026. For all other notified goods in this category, concurrent running continues until 01 November 2028.

Does a single Compulsory Registration Scheme R-number cover all monitor models from the same manufacturer?

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