Nylon georgette
Unbleached or bleached woven nylon georgette fabric
HSN 5407 41 12 (Nylon georgette) is subject to the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), which requires a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate confirming the absence of prohibited azo dyes under General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy. Imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing; all other origins must comply in full.
- Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from exporter
- Azo-dye test report from accredited laboratory
- ITC (HS) policy compliance from DGFT
- 1For consignments originating outside the exempt-country list, obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country confirming the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes. Present this certificate at the bill-of-entry stage in accordance with 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
- 2For consignments from EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, or the United Kingdom, the azo-dye testing requirement is waived; document the country of origin clearly on the bill of entry to claim the exemption under DGFT Public Notice 14/2023.DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023 · General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy
The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye exemption applies to goods merely transshipped through an exempt country rather than originating there. The exemption is origin-specific, not transit-specific; a consignment of nylon georgette produced in a non-exempt country and transshipped via an EU port requires the full Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate, and a missing certificate at the bill of entry will result in consignment detention pending DGFT-policy compliance.
