Steel and steel products play a significant role in India's import market. However, due to the high volume of imports, there is a concern about product dumping. To tackle this issue, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has implemented mandatory certification for certain steel products. Approximately 145 steel products fall under the ambit of BIS mandatory certification. 

NOC stands for No Objection Certificate. In the context of steel import in India, an NOC is a document issued by the Ministry of Steel that grants clearance for the importation of certain steel products. It serves as proof that the imported steel products meet the necessary requirements and regulations set by the Ministry of Steel.

The purpose of the NOC is to ensure that the imported steel products do not pose any risk to the domestic market, consumers, or industry. It helps prevent the importation of substandard or unsafe steel products and maintains the quality standards in the country. Without the NOC, you may face difficulties exporting your goods to India.

To obtain an NOC for steel import in India, importers need to fulfill specific requirements and provide the necessary documents to the Ministry of Steel. These requirements may include:

1. Product Details: Detailed information about the steel products being imported, such as the type of steel, grade, specifications, dimensions, and intended use.
2. Test Reports: Test reports conducted by recognized laboratories, verifying the quality, composition, and performance characteristics of the steel products. These reports ensure that the imported goods meet the required standards.
3. Compliance Declarations: Declarations from the exporter or manufacturer stating that the steel products comply with the relevant Indian standards and regulations. These declarations assure the Ministry of Steel that the imported goods meet the necessary criteria.
4. Bill of Lading: The Bill of Lading, issued by the shipping company, serves as proof of shipment and provides details about the origin, destination, and quantity of the imported steel products.
5. Other Supporting Documents: Additional documents may be required, depending on the specific import regulations and the type of steel products being imported. These may include invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and any other relevant paperwork.
