A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that the azo-dye testing exemption available for specified country origins eliminates the Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement entirely. The exemption is narrowly confined to azo-dye testing only; all other PSIC parameters — fibre composition, prohibited substances beyond azo dyes — remain mandatory regardless of origin. A consignment arriving without a PSIC will be detained pending documentary compliance, accruing demurrage and ground rent.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 5407 52 90 require BIS certification?

No, dyed 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, principally through the General Note 10 Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement covering prohibited hazardous dyes.

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

Per General Note 10 and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023, testing for azo dyes is exempted only for imports originating from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom; all other origins must present a PSIC covering azo-dye absence.

Is a test report from the Textile Committee an acceptable substitute for the PSIC from an accredited foreign laboratory?

Yes. A valid test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory is an accepted alternative to a PSIC from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, per General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy.
