DGFT CLEARANCE

HSN 5407 42 10 (Nylon brasso) is subject to the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), which mandates a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (PSIC) confirming absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes under General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy. Azo-dye testing is exempted only for imports originating from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom.

Compliance steps

1
Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or a valid test report from a Textile Committee (TC) or Central Sheep and Wool Research Institute (CSRTI) laboratory, certifying the absence of prohibited hazardous dyes, including azo dyes. This is mandatory at the bill of entry for all origins not expressly exempted.

2
Where the origin is the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, or the United Kingdom, azo-dye testing is exempted; however, a PSIC covering other prohibited hazardous dyes and fabric composition remains required. Confirm origin documentation is consistent with the claimed exemption before filing the bill of entry.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is assuming that the azo-dye exemption for listed countries dispenses with the PSIC obligation entirely. The exemption covers azo-dye testing only; the PSIC requirement for other prohibited hazardous dyes remains in force regardless of origin. Consignments arriving without a compliant PSIC or valid TC/CSRTI test report face detention and ground rent accumulation pending remediation, which is not rectifiable at the port of import.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 5407 42 10 require BIS certification?

No, dyed 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, principally through the hazardous-dye PSIC requirement under General Note 10.

Which laboratories are authorised to issue the PSIC for azo-dye compliance?

The PSIC must be issued by an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or a valid test report must be obtained from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory, as specified in DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023.

Does the azo-dye exemption for EU and other listed origins eliminate the need for any pre-shipment documentation?

No. The exemption applies only to azo-dye testing; a PSIC or valid test report confirming the absence of other prohibited hazardous dyes is still required for consignments from all origins, including the listed exempt countries.
