Authorities instruct customs officers to verify BIS registration...

Authorities instruct customs officers to verify BIS registration status on the BIS-CRS portal before clearing imports subject to the CRO, ensuring only entries with valid registrations are allowed and those with "deferred" or "cancelled" statuses are blocked; officers must also confirm manufacturer name, model number and manufacturing location against the registration details. This procedure applies to CCTV imports and all other items requiring BIS registration under the CRO. Field formations should sensitize subordinate officers to implement this check and report any difficulties to the Board.
