A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that a certificate of origin from an exempt country dispenses with the PSIC entirely. The azo-dye testing exemption covers only the hazardous-dye parameter; composition, labelling and any other requirements under General Note 10 continue to apply regardless of origin. Importers shipping from non-exempt countries who rely on a supplier's internal test report rather than an accredited-laboratory PSIC risk consignment detention pending a compliant certificate.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 5403 39 10 require BIS certification?
No, cuprammonium rayon filament yarn is not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement under General Note 10 covering prohibited hazardous azo dyes.
Which laboratories are authorised to issue the PSIC for azo-dye compliance?
The PSIC must be issued by an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or a valid test report from the Textile Committee or CSRTI is accepted, per General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023.
Does the azo-dye testing exemption for listed countries remove all PSIC obligations?
No. The exemption under DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 applies only to testing for the presence of azo dyes; other PSIC parameters and General Note 10 compliance requirements remain in force for consignments from exempt origins.
