DGFT CLEARANCE

HSN 5407 72 00 (Dyed woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn) is subject to the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), which requires a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (PSIC) or valid test report confirming the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes. This obligation derives from General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14 June 2023.

1
Before shipment, 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 azo dyes. This document must accompany the bill of entry.

2
If the origin country is the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, or the United Kingdom, the azo-dye testing requirement is exempt; document the origin eligibility at the bill of entry. Imports from all other origins remain subject to the full PSIC or test-report requirement under General Note 10.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is assuming that a certificate of origin from an exempt country eliminates all PSIC obligations. The azo-dye testing exemption is country-specific and narrow; it does not waive the requirement to document origin eligibility at the bill-of-entry stage, nor does it exempt the consignment from any other applicable textile-import requirements under General Note 10. A consignment arriving without the PSIC or a documented exempt-origin claim faces detention and re-examination before out-of-charge.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 5407 72 00 require BIS certification?

No, dyed woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import compliance is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, specifically the hazardous azo-dye absence requirement under General Note 10.

Which laboratories are accepted for the PSIC or test report under General Note 10?

The certificate must be from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or a valid test report from a Textile Committee (TC) or CSRTI laboratory, per DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14 June 2023.

Does the azo-dye exemption for listed countries remove all documentation requirements at the bill of entry?

No. The exemption applies only to azo-dye testing; the importer must still document the origin of the consignment at the bill of entry to establish eligibility, and all other ITC (HS) policy conditions continue to apply.
