As you must know, to enter the Indian market, you are required to comply with certain requirements or parameters to establish that your product has met Indian safety standards. Here in the case of BIS certification for customs clearance, you either need to obtain an FMCS certification or CRS certification depending on the product.

For a better understanding, let’s understand it through an example - if you are a foreign manufacturer, say manufacturing an electronic product, then CRS certification will be applicable. Conversely, if you manufacture batteries, medical equipment, and other products that fall under the purview of BIS FMCS, then an FMCS certificate needs to be obtained.

Why is a BIS Certificate Necessary to Obtain?

Apart from the fact that it is an obligatory requirement to get a BIS approval for the products that come under its purview, it is also necessary to ensure that a product has complied with the Indian standards - standards that have been made to ensure that a product is safe and reliable for the consumer.

Conversely, the cherry on the cake is that - it protects your product from being held by customs authorities for not complying with Indian standards, thus, preventing the imposition of penalties like fines or imprisonment.

How to Get a BIS Certificate For Custom Clearance?

1- Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme

  • An application form will be filed along with the required documents.
  • With the submission of the form, a requisite fee will be paid, thereafter, a factory inspection will be conducted.
  • During factory inspection, product samples will be withdrawn for independent testing in a third-party laboratory.
  • Once it is verified that a manufacturing unit and product have complied with the required parameters, then the certification process will move forward.
  • Prior to obtaining a Grant of License, an applicant has to pay the license fee and advance minimum marking fee.
  • Once the payments have been made, an indemnity bond will be signed, along with submission of a Performance Bank Guarantee of $10,000, after obtaining a Grant of License.
  • If a product complies with the established parameters, an FMCS certificate will be issued.

2- Compulsory Registration Scheme

  • On a BIS portal, an applicant’s profile will be created.
  • A TRF (Test Report Format) will be created for an accredited laboratory.
  • Once the TRF is generated, a laboratory test report will be submitted under the client’s profile on the BIS portal.
  • A Foreign applicant is required to appoint an AIR and must submit an undertaking cum affidavit under form A/B.
