Who does what when you import electronics from Hong Kong?
India does not run a separate approval system for goods from Hong Kong. The work splits the same way it does for every foreign source. BIS product approvals belong to the factory that makes the goods, which for most Hong Kong suppliers is in mainland China. Environmental, packaging and radio approvals belong to the business in India that imports and sells them.
The CRS licence goes to the manufacturer for each factory, not to an importer or trader[2]. Even so, the ban on covered goods without the Standard Mark applies to anyone who imports them[2], and the BIS Act counts importers, distributors and sellers as persons bound by it[10]. So the licence of the factory that actually makes the goods, often in mainland China, must cover your exact model before anything ships from Hong Kong.
| Approval | Held by | What you, the Indian importer, do |
|---|---|---|
| BIS CRS | The factory that makes the goods (often in mainland China), per manufacturing unit[2] | Check the R-number covers your model and brand; you may act as the factory's AIR[11] |
| BIS ISI mark via FMCS | The factory that makes the goods, after a BIS factory visit[12] | Confirm the licence before ordering QCO products such as plugs or appliances |
| AIR nomination | Nominated by the factory on Form IV[13] | Can be the Indian brand owner, a branch office or another Indian entity[11] |
| EPR: e-waste | The importer who offers the goods for sale[14] | Register on the CPCB portal before selling[14] |
| EPR: batteries | The importer of batteries or equipment containing them[15] | Register with CPCB before importing[16] |
| EPR: plastic packaging | The importer of goods in plastic packaging[17] | Register on the plastic EPR portal |
| Legal Metrology | Anyone who imports a commodity for sale[18] | Register within 90 days of starting imports[18] |
| WPC ETA | The importer or authorised Indian representative[19] | File the self-declaration for each wireless model[20] |
| TEC MTCTE | The foreign maker, through an Indian company importing its equipment[21] | Act as the AIR for notified telecom gear such as Wi-Fi routers |
Which electronics does India import from Hong Kong?
India imported goods worth US$ 24,324.37 million from Hong Kong in 2025-26, up from US$ 19,729.22 million[1]. Electronics are the core of it: chapter 85 electrical goods were US$ 10,490.72 million[1], against US$ 1,584.18 million for chapter 84 machinery[1].
Integrated circuits lead at US$ 5,345.10 million[1], followed by phones and transmission apparatus at US$ 1,378.63 million[1] and display modules at US$ 697.47 million[1]. Batteries were US$ 430.40 million[1] and headphones, earphones and speakers US$ 206.55 million[1].
A shipment invoiced by a Hong Kong company is not necessarily made in Hong Kong. For BIS, labelling and duty, what matters is where the goods were manufactured.
| HS heading | Imports 2025-26 | Indian approvals that usually apply |
|---|---|---|
| HS 8542: Integrated circuits | US$ 5,345.10 million (2024-25: US$ 4,839.91 million)[1] | None of the 66 CRS categories[22] is a bare chip; the finished device carries the approvals |
| HS 8517: Phones, routers and other transmission apparatus, with parts | US$ 1,378.63 million (2024-25: US$ 1,587.25 million)[1] | Phones: CRS[23] and WPC ETA[7]. Routers: MTCTE[24] |
| HS 8524: Flat panel display modules | US$ 697.47 million (2024-25: US$ 412.34 million)[1] | Modules are inputs; the finished display needs CRS, e.g. visual display units[25] |
| HS 8473: Parts and accessories for computers | US$ 628.92 million (2024-25: US$ 426.69 million)[1] | Covered only where the part is itself a notified product[2]; keyboards, for example, are a CRS category[25] |
| HS 8471: Computers, incl. laptops | US$ 503.55 million (2024-25: US$ 668.95 million)[1] | Laptops: CRS[23]; DGFT import authorisation reported for laptops and tablets[26] |
| HS 8534: Printed circuits | US$ 440.47 million (2024-25: US$ 425.00 million)[1] | No CRS category of its own[22]; the finished device carries the approvals |
| HS 8507: Accumulators, incl. lithium-ion batteries | US$ 430.40 million (2024-25: US$ 377.79 million)[1] | Lithium cells and packs: CRS under IS 16046[23]; battery EPR[15] |
| HS 8518: Headphones, earphones, speakers, microphones | US$ 206.55 million (2024-25: US$ 171.36 million)[1] | Wireless earphones[23] and Bluetooth speakers[25]: CRS plus WPC ETA |
| HS 8525: Transmission apparatus and cameras, incl. CCTV | US$ 234.43 million (2024-25: US$ 161.63 million)[1] | CCTV cameras: CRS plus security requirements[23]; digital cameras: CRS[25] |
Can a Hong Kong trading company hold the BIS licence?
No. The CRS applicant is the manufacturer, and the licence is granted per manufacturing unit, not to an importer or trader[2]. To get portal login, the applicant uploads a business licence showing the factory's name and address and manufacturing activity in its scope[4]. A Hong Kong trading company's registration does not meet that test.
BIS's FMCS licensee list has no Hong Kong entry at all[3], and no Hong Kong factory appears on its list of CCTV registrations meeting the security Essential Requirements[27]. We could not find a BIS count of CRS registrations by country.
In practice this means asking your Hong Kong supplier one question first: which factory makes the goods? Then check that factory's licence, brand and models, as our China guide explains.
If goods ship from Hong Kong but are made in China, which rules apply?
The rules for the place of manufacture.
- BIS. The factory in mainland China holds the licence[2], nominating an Indian AIR[13]. A separate application is needed for each brand unless the brand owner is the same[13].
- MTCTE labs. A foreign lab can be recognised only if it is not in a country sharing a land border with India[5]. China borders India. Hong Kong is part of China, so do not assume a Hong Kong lab qualifies; confirm with TEC before testing there.
- Label. The retail pack must state the country of origin[6]: the country of manufacture, not the port of shipment.
- FMCS fees. If the factory is in mainland China, it pays FMCS fees in US dollars, as applicants outside SAARC must[28].
How do you find and verify the real factory behind a Hong Kong trader?
Ask for the factory's name and R-number, then check them yourself on the BIS portals before you pay. A trader's own documents prove nothing for BIS, because the licence sits with the manufacturing unit[2]. These steps take under an hour once you have the numbers.
- 1Get the factory name, address and R-number in writing
Ask the Hong Kong supplier to name the factory that makes your model and give its CRS registration number, or its CML number for ISI-mark goods. A supplier that will not name the factory cannot give you a valid BIS chain.
- 2Search the R-number on crsbis.in
The 'List of Registered Manufacturers' search shows the manufacturer's name and address, country, product, IS number, status, validity and brand[29]. The address must match the factory named by the supplier.

Can a lab in Hong Kong test products for BIS, WPC or MTCTE?
BIS CRS: plan on testing in India. A test report counts only if it comes from a lab established, maintained or recognised by BIS for that product[13]. When we checked BIS's laboratory search on 1 November 2026, all 68 lab entries listed for IS 13252 (Part 1) were in India[33], and none of the 54 lab entries listed for IS/IEC 62368 showed a location outside India[34]. So samples from Hong Kong normally travel to an Indian lab, and a report from a Hong Kong lab for its home certification does not replace it.
WPC ETA: an accredited lab anywhere. The self-declaration asks that the RF test report come from an accredited laboratory and that you state the lab's name and country[19]. A report from an accredited lab in Hong Kong can therefore support an ETA filing.
MTCTE: foreign labs only from non-border countries. Hong Kong is part of China, which shares a land border with India, and the 2025 telecom conformity rules exclude labs in such countries[5]. Plan on an Indian lab, or a lab in a non-border country, for MTCTE products.
How does the factory behind a Hong Kong supplier get BIS CRS registration?
Most consumer electronics from Hong Kong fall under the Compulsory Registration Scheme: phones, laptops, earphones, power adapters, CCTV cameras, lithium cells and more. CRS is BIS's Scheme-II and rests on the manufacturer's self-declaration of conformity backed by a lab report[2]. The factory applies online on crsbis.in[4]. These are the steps from the factory's side.
- 1Get portal login
The factory uploads its business licence in English, or a certified translation, showing the factory name and address and manufacturing in its scope[4].
- 2Generate a test request and ship samples to India
The factory generates a test request on the portal and picks a BIS-recognised lab. Samples and the test request must reach that lab within 60 days, with the portal QR code on the sample[4].

Do BIS officers inspect the factories behind Hong Kong suppliers?
It depends on the scheme.
CRS: no factory visit in the official steps. The listed steps are lab testing and an online application[4].
ISI mark through FMCS: yes. Products under a Quality Control Order that need the ISI mark are certified for foreign factories under the Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme. BIS scrutinises the application, visits the factory to check its manufacturing and testing set-up and draw samples, has the samples tested independently, and then grants the licence[12]. For the factory behind a Hong Kong supplier that means:
- Apply online. From 1 June 2026 BIS accepts FMCS applications only through the Manakonline portal[37].
- Pay in dollars. Applicants outside SAARC pay in equivalent US dollars, by RTGS, NEFT or SWIFT, net of bank charges[28].
- Pay for the inspection trip. Fees match Indian Scheme-I licensees, plus per-diem, air tickets, visa and insurance for the BIS officers and a Rs 10,000 contingency payment[28]. Visit charges are Rs 7,000 per man-day[28].
- Give a bank guarantee. After grant the factory signs an agreement and indemnity bond and gives a USD 10,000 performance bank guarantee[12].
- Allow about six months. BIS says FMCS licences take on average around six months from a complete application[12].
- Expect surveillance. BIS keeps visiting licensed factories and buys samples from the market[38].
Since BIS's FMCS list has no Hong Kong factories[3], an ISI-mark product bought through Hong Kong will almost always come from a licensed factory elsewhere, most often mainland China. Ask for that factory's licence number. The Safety of Household, Commercial and Similar Electrical Appliances (Quality Control) Order, 2026 was issued on 6 April 2026 with implementation on 1 October 2026[39].
Worked example: Bluetooth earbuds bought from a Hong Kong trader
Earbuds made in Shenzhen and invoiced from Hong Kong need four Indian approvals and one licence held by the Shenzhen factory. Wireless earphones are a CRS category under IS/IEC 62368-1[23]; they are reported to need a WPC ETA because they use the licence-exempt 2.4 GHz band[40]; the batteries make you a battery producer[41]; and the plastic pack brings plastic EPR[42].
At the low end the bill is Rs 1,17,000 for the factory (Rs 1,000 + Rs 50,000 + Rs 1,000 + Rs 65,000) and Rs 30,500 for you (Rs 10,000 + Rs 10,000 + Rs 10,000 + Rs 500), or Rs 1,47,500 in all before GST. A second colour or variant in the same series can often ride on a supplementary report; see the series guidelines. Small earbuds may carry the BIS mark on the pack only[43]. Model your own case in the compliance cost estimator, and see the full product guide on Bluetooth earphones.
| Approval | Amount | Who holds or pays |
|---|---|---|
| CRS application and processing fee | Rs 1,000 + Rs 50,000[44] | Shenzhen factory |
| CRS annual licence fee | Rs 1,000[44] | Shenzhen factory |
| Lab test to IS/IEC 62368-1 (lowest Delhi price) | Rs 65,000[45] | Usually the factory |
| WPC ETA | Rs 10,000 per model[7] | Indian importer |
| Battery EPR (turnover under Rs 5 crore) | Rs 10,000[46] | Indian importer |
| Plastic EPR (smallest band) | Rs 10,000[47] | Indian importer |
| LMPC importer registration | Rs 500[18] | Indian importer |
Is there a trade agreement with Hong Kong, and does origin matter for duty?
There is no agreement: Hong Kong is not among India's FTA partners in the Commerce Ministry's July 2026 table[48]. Goods made in Hong Kong pay normal (MFN) duty, and so do goods made in mainland China.
Origin still matters because trade-remedy duties follow it. The clearest example for electronics is printed circuit boards. Notification 03/2024-Customs (ADD) charges 30% of CIF value on PCBs originating in or exported from Hong Kong, and up to 75.72% on Chinese producers, for five years from 14 March 2024[8]. Boards with more than six layers, boards for mobile phones, populated boards, HDI, rigid-flex boards and IC substrates are excluded[8].
CAROTAR applies only when you claim a preferential rate[49], so it does not apply to most Hong Kong shipments. If goods routed through Hong Kong were made in an ASEAN country and you want ASEAN preference, the certificate must deal with direct shipment and third-country invoicing, which the bill of entry declaration asks about[50].
| Product | Duty on goods from this country | Notification and term |
|---|---|---|
| Printed circuit boards (HS 8534 00 00), with exclusions | 30% of CIF value[8] | 03/2024-Customs (ADD), five years from 14 March 2024 |
| Flax or linen fabric | USD 1.14 per metre[51] | 31/2025-Customs (ADD), five years |
Does Press Note 3 apply to Hong Kong companies?
Press Note 3 is about investment, not imports. Issued on 17 April 2020, it requires government approval for investment by an entity of a country that shares a land border with India, or where the beneficial owner of the investment is situated in or is a citizen of such a country[52]. A later transfer of ownership that brings an investment within the rule also needs approval[53].
Press Note 2 (2026 Series), dated 15 March 2026, rewrote the paragraph. The Government route stays; beneficial ownership is now tested against money-laundering-rule thresholds or control; and land-border-linked investments that do not need approval must be reported to DPIIT[54].
Neither note names Hong Kong. Because the test looks through to the beneficial owner, a Hong Kong company owned or controlled from mainland China, or by Chinese citizens, should take advice before investing in an Indian importer, distributor or AIR. Buying goods from a Hong Kong supplier is not an investment, and neither note sets any condition on it.
Which approvals fall on you, the Indian importer of Hong Kong goods?
These cannot be held by the factory in Hong Kong. They sit with the business in India that imports and sells.
EPR for e-waste. A producer under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 includes anyone who offers imported electrical and electronic equipment for sale[14]. Imports are allowed only for products that meet the RoHS limits[14], so ask the factory for its RoHS data.
EPR for batteries. Importing batteries, or equipment containing them, makes you a producer[15], and CPCB says importers must register before importing[16].
EPR for plastic packaging. An importer of any commodity in plastic packaging is covered[17].
Legal Metrology. Every person who imports a commodity for sale must register its name and address[18], for a Rs 500 fee[18], within 90 days of starting[18]. Every retail pack must declare the importer's name and address and the country of origin[6]: that is Hong Kong only if the goods were made there.
WPC ETA. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and other licence-exempt radio devices need an ETA[7], filed by the importer or Indian representative at Rs 10,000 per model[7]. If you file as the Hong Kong maker's representative, you need its authorisation letter[7].
BEE star label. Any company that makes, sells or imports an appliance on BEE's mandatory list must register with BEE, for a one-time Rs 5,000 fee[55]. The list includes refrigerators, room air conditioners, ceiling fans, storage water heaters, televisions and washing machines[55].
MTCTE. A foreign maker's telecom equipment is certified through an Indian company that imports it, acting as AIR[21]. Wi-Fi access points and CPE have needed MTCTE since 1 January 2024[24].
What should you check with a supplier in Hong Kong before you pay?
Which documents does Customs want for goods shipped from Hong Kong?
The same set as any import, plus a clear statement of the country of origin, because the invoice comes from Hong Kong while the goods are usually made elsewhere. The Bill of Entry declaration covers third-country invoicing and direct shipment whenever preference is claimed[50], and the retail pack must state the true country of origin[6].
Upload every registration certificate in eSanchit before filing[58], and file the Bill of Entry before the end of the day before arrival[59]. See the customs clearance documents checklist and documents required for import.
| Document | Code or source | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Hong Kong trader's commercial invoice | eSanchit 380000[60] | Shows the country of origin, not just Hong Kong |
| Packing list | 331000 if combined with the invoice[60] | Model numbers match the BIS record |
| Bill of lading or air waybill | 705000 or 740000[60] | Mandatory upload[60] |
| Factory's CRS registration | crsbis.in[29] | Factory address, brand and model |
| WPC ETA for wireless models | Saral Sanchar | Filed by you as importer[20] |
| EPR certificates | CPCB portal | Battery and plastic before import[16] |
What goes wrong when buying through Hong Kong, and how do you fix it?
Nearly every problem comes from the gap between the trader on the invoice and the factory on the licence. BIS lists mismatched factory names and addresses across application, report and documents as a frequent deficiency[61].
| Problem | Why | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Trader offers its own 'BIS certificate' | Only manufacturers get CRS licences[2] | Ask for the factory's R-number and check it |
| Trader switches factories between orders | Licensed goods made at other premises is misuse[62] | Fix the factory in the purchase contract |
| Your brand missing from the licence | Each brand needs its own registration[13] | Have the factory add your brand on a common report[30] |
| Wrong country of origin on the pack | The pack must state the country of manufacture[6] | Use the label checker before printing |
| PCB duty charged at 30% | Applies to PCBs originating in or exported from Hong Kong[8] | Check the exclusions and producer rates before pricing |
| Cargo uncleared after 30 days | The custodian may sell goods after notice[63] | Have all registrations ready before arrival |
Where can you get help with labs, consultants and tools?
Samples go to an Indian lab: BIS's Group-1 list of 30 October 2026 has 444 recognised labs, all in India[64]. Find one through our test labs guide and the lab directories for Delhi NCR, Bengaluru and Chennai.
For help managing a Chinese factory's CRS file from India, see our BIS consultants directory and, for the radio side, WPC consultants. How to choose a BIS consultant covers what to ask.
Free tools: the approval checker, the HS code approval finder and the licence renewal date tool. Our China guide has the factory-side detail, or ask us for a free compliance check.
Frequently asked questions
My supplier is a Hong Kong company. Can it get the BIS licence for me?
No. The CRS licence goes to the manufacturer for each factory, not to a trader[2]. The Hong Kong company can coordinate, but the factory must apply.
Are there any BIS FMCS licences in Hong Kong?
BIS's country-wise FMCS list had no Hong Kong entry on 30 October 2026[3]. ISI-mark goods sold through Hong Kong come from licensed factories elsewhere.
What country of origin goes on goods bought from Hong Kong?
The country where they were made. Country of origin is a mandatory declaration on every pre-packaged commodity[6].
Can a Hong Kong lab test my router for MTCTE?
Be careful. The 2025 rules exclude labs in countries sharing a land border with India[5], and Hong Kong is part of China. Confirm with TEC first.
Who files the WPC ETA for Bluetooth goods bought in Hong Kong?
Is there anti-dumping duty on PCBs from Hong Kong?
Yes. Printed circuit boards originating in or exported from Hong Kong carry 30% of CIF value for five years from 14 March 2024, with exclusions such as mobile-phone boards and populated boards[8].
Does India have a trade agreement with Hong Kong?
No. Hong Kong is not on the Commerce Ministry's July 2026 list of India's FTA partners[48].
Does Press Note 3 stop me buying from a Hong Kong supplier?
No. It governs investment by entities or beneficial owners from countries sharing a land border with India[52], not the purchase of goods.
How do I find out which factory makes goods sold by a Hong Kong company?
Ask the supplier for the factory's name and BIS R-number, then search it on crsbis.in, which shows the manufacturer's address, country, brand and validity[29]. If the supplier will not name the factory, you cannot confirm a valid licence.
Can a Hong Kong supplier add my brand to its factory's BIS licence?
