A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye testing exemption applies universally — it is strictly confined to imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom only. Consignments from any other origin arriving without a valid Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate or accredited-laboratory test report are liable to detention at the port of import pending documentary compliance, and demurrage accrues from the date of arrival.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 5407 41 21 require BIS certification?

No, woven nylon brasso fabric is 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 the principal operative requirement being a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate for azo-dye absence under General Note 10.

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

Per DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14 June 2023, the exemption applies only to imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom; all other origins must furnish an accredited-laboratory test report.

Does the azo-dye testing exemption remove all Pre-Shipment Inspection requirements for exempted origins?

The exemption is limited to azo-dye testing specifically; other applicable General Note conditions under the ITC (HS) policy and any customs assessment requirements remain operative regardless of the country of origin.
