Compliance steps

1
Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or a valid test report from a Textile Committee (TC) or Central Sheep and Wool Research Institute (CSRTI) laboratory, certifying the absence of prohibited hazardous dyes. This requirement applies to all origins not covered by the azo-dye testing exemption.

2
If the consignment originates from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, or the United Kingdom, azo-dye testing is exempted; document the origin clearly in shipping and customs papers to claim the exemption at the bill of entry. Consignments from all other origins must present the PSIC before out-of-charge.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye testing exemption applies universally because the goods are industrial yarn rather than finished fabric. The exemption is strictly origin-specific: a consignment of anti-static polyester filament from an origin outside the nine listed countries that arrives without a valid PSIC or TC/CSRTI test report will be detained at the port of entry, attracting demurrage and ground rent until the documentation deficiency is rectified or the consignment is re-exported.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 5402 52 10 require BIS certification?

No, anti-static polyester filament yarn is not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with the mandatory PSIC requirement for hazardous azo-dye absence under General Note 10.

Is the PSIC requirement waived for all EU-origin consignments of this yarn?

Azo-dye testing is waived for EU-origin consignments, but a valid PSIC or TC/CSRTI test report covering other prohibited hazardous dyes may still be required; the exemption applies specifically to azo-dye testing per DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023.

Which laboratory must issue the PSIC for origins not on the exemption list?

The PSIC must be issued by an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or alternatively a valid test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory is accepted per General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy.
