Instruction No. 01\/2026-Customs<\/a>, Dated 17-01-2026<\/p>\n

The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has issued an instruction clarifying the implementation of the Cross Recessed Screws (Quality Control) Order, 2025<\/strong>, dated 27 August 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

1. Effective Dates of the Quality Control Order<\/h2>\n

The instruction reiterates the applicability timeline of the Quality Control Order (QCO):<\/p>\n

    \n
  • General implementation \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Effective from 1 November 2025<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Small Enterprises \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Effective from 1 February 2026<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Micro Enterprises \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Effective from 1 May 2026<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This staggered implementation provides additional time for smaller entities to comply with the prescribed standards.<\/p>\n

    2. Exemption for Certain Consignments<\/h2>\n

    The instruction provides a specific exemption for consignments:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Having an inward entry date between 1 November 2025 and 12 January 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Such consignments are exempt from compliance with the Quality Control Order<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      3. Operational Clarification for Field Formations<\/h2>\n

      CBIC has directed that:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • The above consignments should not be subjected to QCO compliance requirements<\/strong> for the specified period<\/li>\n
      • Field formations must ensure proper awareness and implementation<\/strong> of this clarification<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        4. Objective of the Instruction<\/h2>\n

        The instruction aims to:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Provide clarity on transitional applicability<\/strong> of the Quality Control Order<\/li>\n
        • Avoid unnecessary compliance burden for consignments falling within the specified window<\/li>\n
        • Ensure uniform implementation by Customs authorities<\/strong> across jurisdictions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          This measure helps streamline enforcement during the transition phase of the Quality Control Order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
