Motorcycle and moped wheel rims and assembled wheel parts

HSN 8714 10 90 (other motorcycle and moped parts, including wheel rims) is covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order. Conformity to IS 16192 (Parts 1, 2, and 3) for two-wheeler, three-wheeler, e-rickshaw, and e-cart wheel rims, or IS 9436 for all other vehicle categories, is mandatory under the ISI Mark Scheme with effect from 22 December 2023 under the Automobile Wheel Rim Component (Quality Control) Amendment Order-II, 2023. No separate customs-clearance overlay applies to this tariff line.

1. 1
   Identify the vehicle category of the wheel rim before placing the purchase order: IS 16192 (Parts 1, 2, and 3) applies to two-wheeler, three-wheeler, e-rickshaw, and e-cart wheel rims; IS 9436 applies to wheel rims for all other vehicle categories. Source only from a manufacturer holding a current BIS CM/L licence against the applicable standard.

2. 2
   Verify the supplier's BIS CM/L licence number, licensed standard (IS 16192 Part 1/2/3 or IS 9436), product scope, and manufacturing facility address on the BIS online register. The licence must be current and its scope must cover the specific rim size and vehicle category being imported.

3. 3
   Ensure every wheel rim bears the ISI standard mark and the supplier's CM/L number as required under Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. Marking must appear on the product itself; packaging-only marking does not satisfy the requirement.

4. 4
   If the wheel rims are imported by a vehicle manufacturer under Rule 126 of the Central Motor Vehicle Rules, 1989, verify whether the S.O. 895(E) amendment carve-out applies. Quote the CM/L number and the applicable exemption basis on the bill of entry to pre-empt detention.

5. 5
   For any claimed exemption from the QCO obligation, refer to Paragraph 3 of S.O. 3227(E) and S.O. 5379(E) to confirm the consignment qualifies. Document the exemption basis on the bill of entry; uncorroborated exemption claims trigger consignment detention.
