Quality Check Of Imported Toys From September 1, Will Be Entry In The Country Again

Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan said on Friday that entry into India would be allowed only after compulsory quality checks of imported toys from September 1. The government is in the process of mandating quality standards for 371 tariff lines, from steel, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and electrical machinery to furniture, to examine the shipment of levelless and non-essential goods from other countries, including China.

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is the principal agency of the government that prepares quality standards in coordination with the concerned ministries. Paswan told reporters, ‘The mandatory quality control standard for toys (QCS-Quality Control Standard) will be implemented from September 1. BIS staff will be deployed at major ports to take samples from import consignments and conduct quality checks. He said that apart from toys, steel, chemicals, electronic goods, and heavy machinery as well as foods such as packaged water and milk products are in the process of becoming QCS.

According to BIS Director-General Pramod Kumar Tiwari, the implementation of QCS for each product is being done by the Ministry concerned. For example, the mandatory standard for gold will come into effect from June 2021. He said that till now 268 standards are mandatory in the country and many are in the pipeline. Tiwari said that BIS staff would be deployed at major ports to take samples and test the product at the port, which would sample and test the goods at the ports itself. The cargo vessel will not be stopped.
