A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye exemption applies universally because the supplier is a reputable exporter. The exemption is origin-specific: a consignment shipped from a non-listed country, even by a well-known manufacturer, requires a PSIC covering azo-dye absence — and its absence at the bill of entry stage results in detention of the consignment until the certificate is produced or the goods are re-exported.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 5403 10 10 require BIS certification?

Per DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14 June 2023, azo-dye testing is exempted for imports originating from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom only; all other origins must submit a PSIC covering azo-dye absence.

Is a test report from the Textile Committee an acceptable substitute for a PSIC from an accredited lab?
