Compliance steps

1
Verify the foreign supplier's BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme R-number on the BIS portal against IS 18112:2022 for television sets, or IS/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023 for plasma/LCD/LED televisions and visual display units/video monitors. The R-number must be model-specific and current on the bill of lading date.

2
Confirm which concurrent standard applies to the specific product: IS 13252 Part 1:2010 and IS 616:2017 are permitted to run concurrently with IS/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023 until 01-11-2028 for most goods, and until 01-05-2026 for goods at Serial No. 65. After those dates the older standards are withdrawn.

Ascertain whether the product contains wireless functionality. If it operates in a licence-exempt band with low transmission power, obtain an Equipment Type Approval certificate via the Saralsanchar portal by applying at least 30 days before the expected arrival date. Quote the ETA certificate on the bill of entry; customs can verify authenticity by scanning the QR code on the certificate.

Obtain Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board before import of television sets (including LCD/LED), screens, electronic display panels, and monitors. Micro enterprises as defined in the MSMED Act, 2006 are exempt. Quote the EPR authorisation number on the bill of entry.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is failing to track the concurrent-running window correctly: importers register against IS 13252 Part 1:2010 or IS 616:2017 on the assumption those standards remain valid indefinitely, without noting that IS/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023 becomes the sole operative standard for most goods after 01-11-2028, and for Serial No. 65 goods after 01-05-2026. A shipment arriving after a concurrent-running deadline against an R-number tied only to the withdrawn standard is treated as uncertified goods, triggering detention regardless of whether a valid R-number existed at the time of placing the purchase order.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8528 72 19 require BIS certification?

Yes. Other colour television receivers and video monitors require Bureau of Indian Standards registration under the Compulsory Registration Scheme against IS 18112:2022 (television sets, effective 26-07-2026) or IS/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023 (plasma/LCD/LED TVs and visual display units/video monitors), under the Electronics and Information Technology Goods (Requirements for Compulsory Registration) Order, 2021.

Is import of colour television sets restricted under DGFT policy?

Yes. Import of colour television sets is restricted under DGFT Notification 22/2015-20 dated 30-07-2020; importers must satisfy the applicable DGFT import licence requirement and the policy conditions of Chapter 85 in addition to the BIS QCO obligation.

Until when can IS 13252 Part 1:2010 and IS 616:2017 be used instead of IS/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023?

For goods at Serial No. 65, the concurrent-running period ends 01-05-2026. For all other goods under this tariff line, IS 13252 Part 1:2010 and IS 616:2017 may run concurrently with IS/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023 until 01-11-2028, after which both older standards are withdrawn.

Does a single Compulsory Registration Scheme R-number cover all display sizes and model variants?

No. The R-number is model-specific; display variants or screen sizes outside the registered model code are not covered, and a mismatch between the consignment model code and the BIS register triggers detention at port.
