2
If the origin country is not EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, or the United Kingdom, ensure the PSIC explicitly covers azo-dye testing. No azo-dye exemption applies for all other origins, and absence of the azo-dye test result from a non-exempt country will prevent customs out-of-charge.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is assuming that the azo-dye exemption for specified countries extends to all hazardous-dye testing obligations. The exemption is narrow — it covers azo-dye testing only for the nine listed origins; the PSIC requirement for other prohibited hazardous dyes remains mandatory regardless of origin. A consignment arriving without a valid PSIC or TC/CSRTI test report faces detention at the port of import and potential refusal of out-of-charge until compliant documentation is produced.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 5112 20 30 require BIS certification?

No, woven fabrics of combed wool are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import compliance is governed by the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, principally the hazardous-dye testing requirement under General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) Policy and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023.

Which countries are exempt from azo-dye testing for this HSN?

Only EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing; imports from all other countries must include azo-dye test results within the PSIC or TC/CSRTI test report per DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023.

Can a valid test report from a Textile Committee laboratory substitute for a PSIC from an accredited lab of the exporting country?

Yes. General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) Policy and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 accept either a PSIC from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country or a valid test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory as equivalent documentation for customs clearance.
