Compliance steps

1
Verify the foreign supplier's BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme R-number on the BIS portal against the applicable IS before placing the purchase order: IS 16102 (Part 1):2012 for self-ballasted LED lamps, and the relevant section of IS 10322 (Part 5) for the luminaire type being imported. The R-number must be model-specific and current on the shipping bill date.

2
Match the supplier's registered IS section to the precise luminaire category: 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; Sec 8:2013 for emergency lighting luminaires. A registration against one section does not cover another.
IS 10322 (Part 5) Sections 1–8 · S.O. 1248(E) dated 18-03-2021
3
Ensure every product in the consignment bears the Standard Mark under the supplier's BIS R-number per Scheme-II of Schedule-II of the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. Marking must appear on the product itself; marking on packaging alone does not satisfy the requirement.

4
If the consignment includes flashlights, confirm compliance with IS 2083 under the Flashlight (Quality Control) Order, 2025. Enforcement dates are 28-07-2025 for general importers, 28-10-2025 for small enterprises, and 28-01-2026 for micro enterprises; exemptions are governed by paragraph 2 of S.O. 501(E) dated 21-01-2025.

Quote the BIS R-number on the bill of entry and ensure compliance with DGFT Notification 13/24-25 dated 20-05-2024 with respect to paragraph 2.31(1)(b) of the Foreign Trade Policy 2023 and General Note 2(C) of the Import Policy. Also ensure compliance with Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs Instruction 27/2025-Cus dated 26-08-2025 paragraphs 1 to 4.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is treating BIS CRS registration as a product-family approval rather than a section-specific, model-specific registration. IS 10322 (Part 5) is divided into eight product-category sections; a supplier's R-number granted for, say, fixed general-purpose LED luminaires under Section 1 provides no cover for recessed luminaires under Section 2 or flood lights under Section 5 — customs port verification checks the exact section against the imported product type. Consignments combining multiple luminaire categories from the same supplier require a separate R-number verification for each category against the BIS register before shipment.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9405 29 00 require BIS certification?

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

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

No. Each IS 10322 (Part 5) section covers a distinct luminaire category. A supplier must hold a separate R-number for each category, and customs will verify the registration against the specific product type declared on the bill of entry.

Do flashlights classified under HSN 9405 29 00 attract a separate BIS QCO?

Yes. Flashlights are subject to IS 2083 under the Flashlight (Quality Control) Order, 2025 notified by S.O. 501(E) dated 21-01-2025, with enforcement dates staggered by enterprise size. The CRS obligation under S.O. 1248(E) and the Flashlight QCO are separate obligations.

Are micro and small enterprises exempt from the Flashlight QCO?

No — they face deferred enforcement dates, not exemption. General importers must comply from 28-07-2025, small enterprises from 28-10-2025, and micro enterprises from 28-01-2026. Exemptions, if any, are governed exclusively by paragraph 2 of S.O. 501(E) dated 21-01-2025.
