Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or a valid test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory, certifying the absence of prohibited hazardous dyes, including azo dyes, before shipment is dispatched to India.
    General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy · DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023
  2. 2
    Confirm whether the country of origin qualifies for the azo-dye testing exemption. Testing for the presence of azo dyes is exempted only for imports from EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom; consignments from all other origins must carry a certificate confirming absence of azo dyes.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye exemption applies to all origins because the fabric is sourced through an intermediary in an exempt country. The exemption attaches to the country of manufacture, not the country of export; a consignment manufactured outside the listed nine jurisdictions and transshipped through, say, a European hub remains subject to full azo-dye testing, and a missing or inapplicable PSIC will result in consignment detention at the port of entry.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 5112 30 30 require BIS certification?
No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers woven fabrics of combed wool mixed with man-made staple fibres. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement under General Note 10 confirming the absence of prohibited hazardous dyes.
Which laboratories are acceptable for issuing the Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate for this fabric?
The PSIC must be issued by an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or a valid test report must be provided by a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory, as specified in General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) Policy and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14 June 2023.
What happens if the PSIC is absent or covers only some of the prohibited dyes?
A consignment arriving without a compliant PSIC is liable to detention at the port of entry; clearance will not be granted until a valid certificate or test report confirming absence of all prohibited hazardous dyes is produced, and demurrage and ground rent will accrue during the hold period.
