This makes the previous furniture quality control rules of 2025 more practical and clearer to understand.<br>\u00a0<br>The government has given some necessary relaxations to the industry while maintaining quality control. New rules have been added in the fields of R&amp;D import, the sale of old stock, and export-oriented production. So, there is a balance between business and compliance.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>When did the Furniture (Quality Control) amendment come into effect?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">The Furniture (Quality Control) amendment order is effective after the publication of the Official Gazette on 12 February 2026. It is applicable without any separate transition period. So, furniture manufacturers, importers, and exporters should review their compliance status.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>Who is obliged to take the BIS certification under Furniture QCO?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">BIS certification is mandatory for manufacturers who design or sell furniture in India. If a product falls under the Furniture (Quality Control) amendment, it cannot be sold in the market without BIS standards.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>What is the exemption for the import of 200 units of R&#038;D under the Furniture (Quality Control) amendment?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">As per the Furniture (Quality Control) amendment, eligible furniture manufacturers can import a maximum of 200 units of specified products in a financial year for research and development only. These products cannot be sold in the market and need to be disposed of as scrap after use. The manufacturer will have to maintain year-wise records and submit them to the government.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>Is the stock manufactured before 2025, still being sold?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Yes, as per the Furniture (Quality Control) amendment, stock manufactured or imported before the 2025 order comes into force can be sold under certain conditions. The manufacturer will have to submit a self-declaration to BIS, and this facility is applicable for a maximum period of 12 months. However, this relief is only available to those who are BIS certified or have applied for it. This helps businesses avoid the loss of old stock.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>Is BIS not applicable to products imported only for export?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">QCO is not applicable when a non-BIS product is imported only for export production. However, the manufacturer will have to give a self-declaration and confirm in writing that the product will not be sold in the Indian market. All import and production records should be properly maintained to show in the audit.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>What kind of records should manufacturers maintain?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Manufacturers are required to maintain detailed and year-wise records. This includes R&amp;D import information, export-only usage documents, self-declaration copies, and stock details. The records should be easy to maintain. Proper record management greatly reduces the risk of fines or legal issues in the future.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>What can happen if the rules are not followed?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Violation of the Furniture QCO rules can lead to serious action. These may include fines, the seizure of goods, suspension of licenses, or restrictions on business operations. The risk is especially high if non-BIS products are incorrectly marketed. So, manufacturers should establish a proper compliance system from the outset and conduct regular internal checks.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>How does the Furniture QCO amendment benefit exporters?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">The Furniture QCO amendment brings great relief to export-oriented manufacturers. Now they can import non-BIS materials under certain conditions and use them only for export. This helps to work with international supply chains and reduces costs. So, Indian exporters can be more competitive in the global market.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>How can Corpbiz help with furniture compliance?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Corpbiz provides complete compliance support for furniture businesses.
