Do you require BIS license to import a product?

Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is a national standards body for the harmonious development of the activities of standardisation, conformity assessment and quality assurance of goods, articles, processes, systems and services.

To provide safe and reliable goods and minimizing health hazards for consumers, among others, BIS has been providing tangible and traceable benefits to the national economy. The bureau runs conformity assessment schemes through which it grants licenses/ certificate of conformity to manufacturers, encompassing different industrial disciplines right from agriculture to textiles. And although the BIS standards are voluntary in nature, the Government of India has imposed mandatory certification on certain products for which many quality control order are being issued. The products which are covered under quality control order shall conform to the Indian Standard which makes mandatory to have BIS licence/compulsory registration to import a product in India. So BIS licence is mandatory for the products which are covered under quality control order issued by Government of India.

The license is granted by Foreign Manufacturers Certification Department (FMCD) at BIS headquarters in New Delhi. The detailed procedure for grant of licence is mentioned on BIS website under Foreign Manufacturer Section.

The Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme is applicable to all products, with Electronics and IT Goods notified as exceptions under the Registration Scheme of BIS.
