CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme, Scheme II)

Electronics and IT products notified by MeitY must be tested at a BIS-recognised lab in India and registered with BIS. CRS relies on the manufacturer's self-declaration instead of a factory audit.

HS codes are 4-digit references; confirm the full code before customs.
