Port based labs to check quality of imported steel

Governmental sources said labs would come up in ports where there is extensive import of steel. The first lab is likely to come up at Jawaharlal Nehru Port.

This is part of plans to implement port-based checks on imports of steel where each shipment will be tested for quality and material not compliant with mandatory standards laid down by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) will not be accorded customs clearance.

Steel shipments will be randomly tested for quality standards and act as a barrier for misclassification or mis-declaration of consignments by importers and port-based scrutiny is expected to be an effective check the quality of rising imports
