We are pleased to share important news that will positively impact businesses operating in several international markets.

What's Changed?

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has officially revoked the product-specific restrictions that were previously imposed on multiple countries. This decision marks a significant turning point for businesses that have been navigating regulatory uncertainties in recent months.

Countries Affected by This Update

The lifting of restrictions applies to:

  • Vietnam
  • Thailand
  • Indonesia
  • Turkey
  • Other previously affected regions

Licensing Operations Resume

Following this development, BIS has resumed its normal licensing operations for these markets. Applications that were placed on hold due to geopolitical concerns are now being actively processed, and licenses are being granted. 
This means that if your application was among those pending review, it should now move forward through the standard approval process.

What This Means for Your Business

For companies with pending applications or those planning to enter these markets, this represents a welcome opportunity to:

  • Restart stalled projects: Applications that were on hold can now proceed
  • Expand market access: New opportunities open up in previously restricted regions
  • Resume compliance timelines: Normal processing schedules are back in effect

Immediate Next Steps

If you have applications pending in any of the affected countries, we recommend taking the following actions:

  • Review your pending cases: Identify all applications that may have been impacted by the previous restrictions
  • Contact relevant authorities: Follow up with BIS regarding the status of your specific applications
  • Update your timelines: Adjust your project schedules based on resumed processing
  • Coordinate with partners: Inform your clients and stakeholders in affected markets about this development
