2
Note the country-of-origin exemption: azo-dye testing is waived only for imports originating from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. For all other origins, the PSIC or TC/CSRTI test report is mandatory and must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that the azo-dye exemption for listed countries extends to all documentation requirements — the PSIC covering fibre composition, construction, and other General Note 10 parameters remains required even for exempt origins. An absent or non-conforming PSIC at the bill-of-entry stage results in consignment detention and potential demurrage, regardless of the exporting country's exemption status on azo-dye testing.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 5407 53 00 require BIS certification?

No, woven synthetic filament fabrics of different-coloured yarns are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with a mandatory Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement under General Note 10 covering prohibited hazardous dyes.

Is the PSIC requirement waived for imports from the EU and other listed countries?

Only the azo-dye testing component is waived for imports from EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom; the broader PSIC obligation under General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy continues to apply for those origins.

Which laboratories are accredited to issue the PSIC for this tariff line?

The PSIC must be issued by an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or by a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory, per DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023; a test report from an unaccredited laboratory is not accepted at the bill of entry.
