2
Confirm whether the country of origin qualifies for the azo-dye testing exemption.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye exemption for listed countries dispenses with the Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate altogether. The exemption applies to azo-dye testing only; a PSIC covering other prohibited hazardous dyes remains mandatory for all origins. Consignments arriving without a valid PSIC or Textile Committee test report are liable to detention and demurrage pending compliance, with no rectification pathway at the port of import.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 5112 30 90 require BIS certification?

No, woven combed wool fabrics mixed with man-made staple fibres are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, principally through the hazardous-dyes Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement under General Note 10.

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

Per DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14 June 2023, imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom are exempt from testing for the presence of azo dyes only; the PSIC for other prohibited hazardous dyes remains required for all origins.

Is a Textile Committee test report an acceptable substitute for a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate?

Yes. A valid test report from a Textile Committee (TC) or CSRTI laboratory is accepted in lieu of a PSIC from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, provided it certifies the absence of all prohibited hazardous dyes covered under General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy.
