  2. 2
    Upload the Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate or test report in e-Sanchit at the bill of entry stage and ensure the customs documentation reflects the country of origin, as the azo-dye testing exemption is origin-specific and will be verified against the declared origin before out-of-charge.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye exemption extends to all origins simply because the exporting country is a significant textile supplier. The exemption is an exhaustive list — EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom only — and imports from any other origin without a valid Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate are liable to consignment detention and ground rent pending compliance.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 5407 41 22 require BIS certification?
No, woven synthetic filament fabrics including nylon georgette are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, principally through the azo-dye compliance obligation under General Note 10.
Which origins are exempt from azo-dye testing for this tariff line?
Per General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023, testing is exempted only for imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom; all other origins must submit a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate.
Does the azo-dye exemption for listed origins remove all Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirements?
The exemption covers azo-dye testing only; other PSIC parameters relating to composition and hazardous substance content required under General Note 10 remain applicable even for the listed exempt origins.
