On 2nd March 2009, India lifted ban on import of Chinese toys in return of providing confirmation of international safety norms by China. Earlier on 23rd January, India had banned the import of Chinese toys for six months on grounds of public health and safety.
As per a public notice by the Commerce Ministry, the import of toys from China will be allowed if they conform to the standards prescribed in "ASTM F963" or "ISO 8124 (parts I - III) or IS 9873 (parts I - III)". These regulations mainly deal with protection and health exposures.
The toys market in India is approximated at Rs 2,500 crore while the volume-driven, price-competitive Chinese toys are estimated to control 70 percent of the global toys market
Further the Indian government said that the imports from China will have to be accompanied by a obligatory certificate from laboratories ascribed to the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation.
