Compliance steps

1
Verify the foreign supplier's BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme R-number on the BIS portal against the applicable IS: IS 16102 (Part 1):2012 for self-ballasted LED lamps, and the relevant section of IS 10322 (Part 5) for fixed general-purpose, recessed, road, flood, hand, chain, and emergency LED luminaires. The R-number must be model-specific and current on the shipping bill date.

2
Match the product type to the correct IS 10322 Part 5 section before the purchase order: Sec 1 (fixed general-purpose), Sec 2 (recessed), Sec 3 (road and street), Sec 5 (flood lights), Sec 6 (hand lamps), Sec 7 (lighting chains), Sec 8 (emergency lighting). Each section requires a separate model-level R-number registration.

3
Ensure every unit bears the Standard Mark under a licence from the Bureau of Indian Standards as per Scheme II of Schedule II of the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. Marking must appear on the product itself and be traceable to the registered model code.

4
Confirm compliance with DGFT Notification 13/24-25 dated 20-05-2024 with respect to paragraph 2.31(1)(b) of the FTP-2023 and paragraph 2(C) of the General Notes of the Import Policy before filing the bill of entry.

5
Quote the supplier's BIS R-number on the bill of entry at the model level. Customs verifies the R-number in real time against the BIS register; an absent, expired, or model-mismatched R-number triggers consignment detention, demurrage, and potential re-export or confiscation under the BIS Act, 2016.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is obtaining one R-number against IS 16102 (Part 1) for self-ballasted lamps and assuming it covers the full luminaire range imported in the same shipment. IS 10322 (Part 5) is section-specific: a recessed LED fitting (Sec 2), a flood light (Sec 5), and an emergency luminaire (Sec 8) each require a distinct model-level registration, and a single missing section R-number in a mixed consignment is sufficient to detain the entire shipment at port.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9405 11 00 require BIS certification?

Yes. LED luminaires under this tariff line must conform to IS 16102 (Part 1):2012 or the relevant section of IS 10322 (Part 5) and bear the Standard Mark under a Compulsory Registration Scheme R-number, mandatory with effect from 18 March 2021 under S.O. 1248(E).

Does one Compulsory Registration Scheme R-number cover all LED fitting types in a consignment?

No. The R-number is model-specific and IS-section-specific; each luminaire category (fixed, recessed, flood, road, emergency, etc.) requires registration under the corresponding section of IS 10322 (Part 5), and each model variant needs its own R-number.

Does DGFT Notification 13/24-25 affect import eligibility for LED luminaires?

Yes, where paragraph 2.31(1)(b) of FTP-2023 conditions apply. Importers must verify compliance with the notification and the General Notes para 2(C) of the Import Policy before filing the bill of entry; non-compliance can result in consignment detention independent of BIS status.

Does the Flashlight QCO under S.O. 501(E) apply to LED chandeliers and ceiling fittings under this HSN?

No. The Flashlight (Quality Control) Order, 2025 under S.O. 501(E) applies to flashlights as defined therein; LED chandeliers and ceiling or wall fittings designed solely for LED sources are governed by the Electronics and Information Technology Goods (Requirements for Compulsory Registration) Order, 2021 under S.O. 1248(E).
