A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye testing exemption applies to a wider set of countries than those expressly listed. The exemption is limited to nine named origins; a consignment from any other country arriving without a PSIC covering prohibited hazardous dyes will be detained at the port of import, and rectification after arrival does not cure the documentary deficiency at the bill-of-entry stage.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 5113 00 30 require BIS certification?

No, woven fabrics of coarse animal hair or horsehair are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with a mandatory Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement for prohibited hazardous dye absence under General Note 10.

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

The exemption applies only to imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom; all other origins must submit a PSIC or valid TC/CSRTI test report per DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023.

Does a valid TC or CSRTI test report substitute for a PSIC from the exporting country's accredited laboratory?

Yes. A valid test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory is an accepted alternative to a PSIC from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, as both satisfy the General Note 10 requirement for absence of prohibited hazardous dyes.
