How the HSN Code Helps with BIS Certification

Your HSN code is the quickest way to narrow down which BIS products, standards and Quality Control Orders may apply to your goods. Customs uses it to classify imports, so checking it early avoids shipments being held.

It is a starting point: BIS rules apply to the product and its Indian Standard, not to the HSN code alone.

FAQ

HSN Code and BIS Certification

Short answers about using HSN codes for BIS.

Can I find BIS certification requirements by HSN code?

Yes, as a first check. Enter the HSN code to see the BIS products listed under it, their scheme (ISI mark or CRS) and Indian Standard. BIS rules apply to the product and its Indian Standard, so confirm the exact product before you apply.

What is an HSN code?

HSN (Harmonised System of Nomenclature) is the international system customs uses to classify goods. In India the first 4 digits give the heading and longer codes (6 or 8 digits) narrow it to a specific product.

Does the same HSN code always mean BIS certification is needed?

No. One HSN heading can cover products that need BIS certification and products that don't. Whether certification is mandatory depends on the Quality Control Order that names the product and its Indian Standard.
