Compliance steps

1
Verify the foreign supplier's BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme R-number on the BIS portal against the applicable Indian Standard for the specific product type — IS 16102 (Part 1):2012 for self-ballasted LED lamps, or the relevant section of IS 10322 (Part 5) for LED luminaires. The R-number must be model-specific and current on the shipping bill date.

2
Match the supplier's R-number to the correct IS section for the product variant: IS 10322 (Part 5) Sec 1:2012 for fixed general-purpose LED luminaires, Sec 2:2012 for recessed LED luminaires, Sec 3:2012 for road and street lighting, Sec 5:2013 for LED flood lights, Sec 6:2013 for LED hand lamps, Sec 7:2017 for LED lighting chains, and Sec 8:2013 for LED emergency luminaires. A registration covering only one section does not extend to other sections.

3
Ensure each product unit bears the BIS Standard Mark and the supplier's R-number per Scheme-II of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. The Standard Mark must appear on the product itself; marking present only on outer packaging does not satisfy the marking requirement.

4
Quote the supplier's BIS R-number on the bill of entry and ensure compliance with General Note 2(C) of the Import Policy and DGFT Notification 13/24-25 dated 20-05-2024 in relation to paragraph 2.31(1)(b) of the Foreign Trade Policy 2023. Customs verifies the R-number in real time against the BIS register; absent, expired, or scope-mismatched registration triggers consignment detention.

If the consignment includes flashlights, verify compliance with the Flashlight (Quality Control) Order, 2025 under IS 2083:2084 per S.O. 501(E) dated 21-01-2025. The enforcement date is tiered: 28-07-2025 for general enterprises, 28-10-2025 for small enterprises, and 28-01-2026 for micro enterprises. Also ensure compliance with CBIC Instruction 27/2025-Cus dated 26-08-2025.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is obtaining a BIS R-number for one IS 10322 (Part 5) section — for instance, fixed general-purpose LED luminaires under Sec 1 — and then shipping a mixed consignment that includes recessed luminaires, flood lights, or emergency luminaires, each of which requires a separate, section-specific R-number. Customs verifies the R-number against the registered model code and IS section; a scope mismatch on any line item triggers detention of the entire consignment, with demurrage accruing until a corrected or model-matched registration is produced.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9405 19 00 require BIS certification?

Yes. LED lamps and luminaires under this tariff line require Bureau of Indian Standards registration under the Compulsory Registration Scheme against IS 16102 (Part 1):2012 or the applicable section of IS 10322 (Part 5), with effect from 18 March 2021 under S.O. 1248(E).

Does one BIS R-number cover all LED luminaire types in a mixed consignment?

No. Each product type corresponds to a separate section of IS 10322 (Part 5) and requires a distinct R-number; a registration under Sec 1 (fixed general-purpose) does not cover Sec 2 (recessed), Sec 5 (flood lights), or any other section.

Do flashlights included in a consignment under HSN 9405 19 00 carry additional QCO obligations?

Yes. Flashlights are subject to the Flashlight (Quality Control) Order, 2025 under S.O. 501(E) dated 21-01-2025, with enforcement dates varying by enterprise size. Exemptions are set out in paragraph 2 of that order.

Is the BIS R-number facility-specific and model-specific?

Yes. The R-number is registered to a specific model and manufacturing facility; products from a different plant, or model variants outside the registered model code, are not covered and will be detained on a scope mismatch at the port.
