Of 111 decitex, dull
Viscose rayon artificial filament yarn, 111 decitex dull
HSN 5403 41 40 (Of 111 decitex, dull) is subject to the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), requiring a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate confirming absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes under General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy. The requirement applies to all exporting countries except EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom.
- Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from accredited lab
- Test report from Textile Committee or CSRTI
- ITC (HS) policy declaration from DGFT
- 1Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (PSIC) from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or a valid test report from the Textile Committee or Central Sheep and Wool Research Institute (CSRTI), certifying the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes. This document must be available at the bill of entry stage.General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy · DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023
- 2Confirm the country of origin before filing the bill of entry. Imports originating from EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing; all other origins must present the PSIC without exception.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 PSIC exemption covers all developed-country origins. The exemption list is exhaustive and fixed: a consignment from a country not named in General Note 10 — including otherwise low-risk origins — requires the PSIC regardless of the exporter's reputation or prior clearance history. Absent the PSIC, the consignment is liable to detention at the port of import pending re-export or destruction.
