Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 15041:2001 for flat-woven webbing slings of man-made fibres. Verify the supplier's CM/L number, licensed product scope, and licensed manufacturing facility on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.
Indutech Quality Control Order 2024 · S.O. 4326(E) dated 03-10-2024 · IS 15041:2001
2
Ensure every webbing sling bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L number as required under Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. The standard mark must appear on the product itself, not on packaging alone.

3
Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L number on the bill of entry. Customs verifies the CM/L in real time against the BIS register; an absent, expired, or scope-mismatched licence triggers consignment detention.

4
If the consignment includes any medical device listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020, obtain the applicable Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation registration prior to import. The CDSCO registration is independent of the BIS QCO obligation and must be cited separately on the bill of entry.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is treating the residual Chapter 90 heading as a general-purpose catch-all and overlooking the product-specific BIS QCO that has attached to flat-woven webbing slings. HSN 9033 00 00 is a residual code covering an extremely diverse range of parts and accessories; the Indutech QCO 2024 obligation under IS 15041:2001 binds only webbing slings of man-made fibres — but the misclassification trap runs both ways: importers shipping unrelated Chapter 90 accessories have faced BIS compliance enquiries, and importers shipping in-scope webbing slings under a generic description have triggered detention for absence of a CM/L licence.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9033 00 00 require BIS certification?

Yes, where the goods are flat-woven webbing slings of man-made fibres for general service. Conformity to IS 15041:2001 is mandatory under the ISI Mark Scheme from 01 April 2025, by virtue of the Indutech Quality Control Order 2024 (S.O. 4326(E) dated 03-10-2024).

Is CDSCO registration required separately from BIS QCO compliance?

Yes, where the consignment falls within the medical-device schedule notified under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020. That registration is administered by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation and is entirely independent of the ISI Mark Scheme obligation.

Does the BIS QCO obligation under IS 15041:2001 apply to all goods classified under HSN 9033 00 00?

No. The obligation is product-specific: only flat-woven webbing slings of man-made fibres for general service fall within the Indutech QCO 2024 scope. Other parts and accessories for Chapter 90 instruments classified under this residual heading are not in scope of IS 15041:2001.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all webbing sling variants from the same manufacturer?

No. A CM/L licence is scope-specific by product specification and manufacturing facility; slings outside the licensed specification or produced at an unlicensed plant are not covered and may not bear the ISI mark.
