BIS certification remains separate from IGCR duty concession for imports covered by mandatory quality control orders.
Import of goods under the Import of Goods at Concessional Rate of Duty Rules does not dispense with mandatory BIS certification. The IGCR framework is a customs duty concession scheme, while BIS requirements operate separately as product standards, certification, and market-entry controls under compulsory registration, ISI marking, and quality control orders. Goods covered by a notified quality control order or compulsory BIS certification scheme must continue to satisfy the relevant certification requirement despite concessional duty treatment.
