Why certifications decide whether your goods move

Most products cannot legally be imported into or sold in India without the right registrations: a BIS mark, an FSSAI licence, an EPR authorisation, a monitoring-system registration. Miss one and the consequence isn't a warning: it's cargo held at port, demurrage ticking daily, or goods turned back entirely. We map what applies to you before you ship, and hold the certificates current after.

How it works

From assessment to grant, and beyond.

01

Assess & register

We confirm exactly which certifications your product and operation need, and which ones you are paying for without needing.

02

Prepare & verify

Documentation built the way the authority reads it, verified before anything is filed.

03

Test & inspect

Product testing, factory audits and inspections coordinated with accredited labs and the regulator.

04

Submit & liaise

Filing, queries and follow-up with the department until the file moves.

05

Grant & maintain

Certificate in hand, then renewals, returns and amendments calendarised so it never lapses.
