Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 17635:2022 (beds). Verify the supplier's CM/L number, licensed product scope, and manufacturing facility address on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.

2
Ensure every bed stead bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L number under Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the Bureau of Indian Standards (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. Marking must appear on the product itself, not on packaging alone.

3
Confirm whether the foreign manufacturer also supplies bunk beds (IS 17636:2022) in the same consignment; each product type maps to a distinct IS standard and requires a separate CM/L scope entry. A single bill of entry covering mixed bedroom furniture must cite the correct IS number per product line.

4
Verify the Micro and Small Enterprise exemption status of the overseas supplier if applicable. Enterprises registered on the Udyam Portal with plant and machinery investment not exceeding ₹1 crore and annual turnover not exceeding ₹5 crore (as certified by a Chartered Accountant) are exempt from the QCO until 14 August 2026.

5
If the consignment originates in Bangladesh, verify whether the goods fall within the port restrictions introduced under paragraph 19 of the general notes to the ITC (HS) 2022 import policy. Goods outside the documented carve-outs are restricted to specified ports of entry.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is applying IS 17631:2022 (work chairs) — the primary IS in the lookup table — to bed steads, which are governed exclusively by IS 17635:2022. The Furniture QCO maps six distinct IS standards across six product categories within the same HSN family; a CM/L licence against the wrong IS standard renders the consignment non-compliant regardless of the licence's validity, and customs will detain the shipment pending production of the correct IS 17635:2022 certification.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9403 50 10 require BIS certification?

Yes. Bed steads must conform to IS 17635:2022 and bear the ISI mark under a CM/L licence from the Bureau of Indian Standards, mandatory from 14 February 2026 under the Furniture (Quality Control) Order, 2025.

Which Indian Standard specifically applies to bed steads under this QCO?

IS 17635:2022 governs beds; IS 17636:2022 governs bunk beds. IS 17631 through IS 17634 cover chairs, stools, tables, desks, and storage units respectively and do not apply to bed steads.

Are Micro and Small Enterprises exempt from the Furniture QCO?

Enterprises registered on the Udyam Portal with plant and machinery investment not exceeding ₹1 crore and turnover not exceeding ₹5 crore for the previous financial year (certified by a Chartered Accountant) are exempt until 14 August 2026 per S.O. 801(E) and the Furniture (Quality Control) Amendment Order, 2026.

Does a single CM/L licence cover both beds and bunk beds from the same manufacturer?

No. IS 17635:2022 (beds) and IS 17636:2022 (bunk beds) are separate standards requiring separate CM/L scope entries; a consignment mixing both product types must be covered by a licence explicitly listing both.
