Bleached
Bleached cotton yarn, medium count single yarn
HSN 5205 32 20 (Bleached cotton yarn) is subject to the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), which requires a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate confirming the absence of prohibited azo dyes under General Note 10. Imports from origins outside the exempted country list must be accompanied by a valid test report from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country or from the Textile Committee or CSRTI.
- Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from accredited laboratory
- Test report from Textile Committee or CSRTI
- ITC (HS) policy declaration from DGFT
- 1Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate or valid test report from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or from the Textile Committee or CSRTI, certifying the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes before filing the bill of entry. This requirement applies to all origins except EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom.General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy · DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023
- 2Upload the azo-dye test report or PSIC in e-Sanchit at the bill of entry stage. Consignments arriving without the requisite certificate from non-exempted origins are liable to detention pending compliance, with demurrage and ground rent accruing at the port of import.General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy · DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023
The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye exemption covers all developed-country origins. The exemption is a closed list — EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom — and imports from any other origin, including countries with comparable textile standards, require a full PSIC for azo-dye absence. A missing certificate cannot be remedied after goods arrive; detention and demurrage are the immediate consequence.
