The import market in India is dominated by steel and steel products. Due to high import volumes, product dumping is an issue. Bureau of Indian Standards has introduced mandatory certification of certain steel products to combat this problem. BIS certification is mandatory for approximately 145 products.

The NOC is a No Objection Certificate. An NOC, in the context of Indian steel imports is a document that the Ministry of Steel issues to grant clearance for certain steel products. The document serves to prove that imported steel products comply with the Ministry of Steel's requirements.

It is the responsibility of the NOC to make sure that imported steel products are not a risk to domestic consumers or industries. The NOC helps to prevent importation of unsafe or substandard steel products, and it maintains quality standards within the country. You may have difficulty exporting goods to India without the NOC.

Importers must meet specific requirements to obtain an NOC for steel in India and submit the required documents to the Ministry of Steel. The requirements can include:

Information about imported steel products, including the grade of steel used, the specifications, the dimensions and the intended uses.

Test Reports - Test reports performed by accredited laboratories to verify the composition and performance of steel products. The reports verify that imported products meet required standards.

Compliance Declarations are declarations made by the manufacturer or exporter that their steel products meet the Indian regulations and standards. These declarations ensure the Ministry of Steel the import goods are in compliance with the required criteria.

Bill of Lading (Bill of Lading): This document, which is issued by a shipping company, acts as a proof of shipment. It also provides information about the destination and origin of imported steel products.

Other supporting documents: Additional documentation may be needed depending on import regulations, and type of steel product imported. Included in this list are invoices, packing slips, certificates of Origin, and other pertinent paperwork.
