A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye exemption is country-of-supplier rather than country-of-origin: goods manufactured in a non-exempt country but transshipped through an exempt country do not qualify for the exemption, and a PSIC from the actual country of manufacture is required. Detention and re-testing at port are the routine outcome when the certificate is absent or names a transshipment hub rather than the production origin.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 5407 10 24 require BIS certification?

No, woven umbrella cloth panel fabrics are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement for azo-dye absence under General Note 10 for non-exempt origins.

Which countries are exempt from the azo-dye testing requirement for this tariff line?

Imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing per General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023; all other origins require a PSIC from an accredited laboratory.

Does the azo-dye exemption remove all PSIC obligations for exempt-origin imports?

The exemption applies specifically to azo-dye testing; other composition or quality parameters required under the ITC (HS) policy for textile imports may still require a valid test report, and standard customs documentation obligations remain applicable.
