Securing BIS Exemption for Internal-Use Electronic Devices

MeitY exemption secured under the CRO framework, permitting customs clearance of proprietary electronic devices imported for internal corporate use. Devices released at the port of import without a BIS R-number, on the strength of the exemption letter. The BIS CRS inclusion application continued on a parallel track.

Established a defined pathway for global technology companies to import proprietary hardware for employee deployment without undertaking full CRS testing and registration. The route operates on the statutory carve-out recognised in the Compulsory Registration Order itself, invoked through a Ministry-level exemption letter, and releases working capital that would otherwise sit trapped in dispatched-but-unclearable inventory.
