Other nylon and polyamide fabrics of filament yarn
Woven fabrics of high tenacity nylon or polyamide filament yarn
HSN 5407 10 25 (Other nylon and polyamide fabrics of filament yarn) is subject to the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), with a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement covering the absence of prohibited azo dyes under General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy. Imports from origins outside a defined exempt-country list must submit testing evidence from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country.
- Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from exporter
- Azo-dye test report from accredited laboratory
- ITC (HS) policy declaration to CBIC
- 1Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country confirming the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes, and present it at the bill of entry. This requirement applies to all origin countries not appearing on the exempt list under General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy.General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy · DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023
- 2Verify whether the country of export is among the azo-dye-testing-exempt origins — EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. Imports from any country outside this list without a compliant test report will be held at customs pending documentation.General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy · DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023
The most frequent error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye exemption applies broadly to all developed-country origins. The exempt list is precise — nine jurisdictions only — and a consignment from a non-listed origin arriving without an accredited laboratory test report will be detained at the port of entry, accruing demurrage and ground rent until the deficiency is remedied. The exemption covers azo-dye testing only; other ITC (HS) policy conditions remain applicable regardless of origin.
