CCTV Included Under Compulsory Registration Order (CRO)
As per the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) notification dated April 9, 2024, CCTVs have been brought under the Electronics and IT Goods (Compulsory Registration) Order, 2021 (CRO), requiring compliance with Essential Requirements (ERs) for security.
Verification of BIS Registration at Customs Clearance
The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has observed that some customs officers rely solely on the BIS registration number mentioned in the Bill of Entry without verifying its validity or status. This has resulted in imports being cleared despite registrations being marked as Deferred or Cancelled.
To address this, customs officers must:
- Verify the registration details on the BIS-CRS official portal.
- Allow clearance only for valid registrations.
- Reject imports with deferred or cancelled registration status.
- Cross-check manufacturer name, model number, and manufacturing location with BIS registration records.
Applies to All CRO-Regulated Products
This procedure is not limited to CCTVs but applies to all products covered under the CRO.
Impact on Importers and Manufacturers
Importers and manufacturers must ensure that their products are registered and maintain valid BIS status. Non-compliant products will be denied clearance at customs. This strengthens India’s regulatory framework for electronic and IT products, enhancing product safety and consumer trust.
