Note that testing for the presence of azo dyes is exempted only for imports originating from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom. For all other origins, azo-dye testing is mandatory and the PSIC must explicitly address this parameter.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that a general textile test report covers the full hazardous-dye requirement: the PSIC must specifically certify absence of all prohibited hazardous dyes, not merely azo dyes. Additionally, the azo-dye exemption is origin-specific — suppliers from non-listed countries frequently tender reports limited to azo dyes, which customs will treat as non-compliant, triggering consignment detention and demurrage at the port of entry.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 5407 43 00 require BIS certification?

No, woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn 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, with a mandatory Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate for hazardous dye absence under General Note 10.

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

The EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing only; the PSIC covering other prohibited hazardous dyes remains required even for these origins, per DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023.

Can a test report from an Indian laboratory substitute for the Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate?

The policy requires a PSIC from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country or a valid test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory; a generic domestic post-arrival test report does not satisfy the pre-shipment requirement and will not secure out-of-charge clearance.
