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 or CSRTI laboratory, certifying the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes before the consignment is shipped. This requirement applies to all origins except EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom.

2
Upload the PSIC or valid test report in e-Sanchit and confirm at the bill of entry that the azo-dye testing exemption either does not apply or that the originating country is among the nine exempt nations listed under General Note 10. Consignments from non-exempt origins without a valid PSIC are liable to detention at port.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that a test report from the exporter's in-house quality department satisfies the PSIC requirement. General Note 10 mandates a certificate from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country or a valid Textile Committee or CSRTI report; an internal quality document does not meet this threshold and will result in consignment detention. The azo-dye testing exemption is country-of-origin specific, not supplier specific — even a supplier in an exempt country must source the fabric from that exempt origin for the carve-out to apply.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 5407 82 10 require BIS certification?

No, dyed nylon georgette falls outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime; no BIS QCO covers this product family. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with a mandatory Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate for azo-dye absence under General Note 10.

Is azo-dye testing exempted for all EU-origin nylon georgette?

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 per DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023; all other origins require a PSIC from an accredited laboratory.

Does the PSIC requirement apply when importing nylon georgette as an Export Oriented Unit or under Advance Authorisation?

The PSIC requirement under General Note 10 is an ITC (HS) policy condition tied to the tariff line regardless of the import scheme; the regulatory record records no carve-out for AA holders, EOUs, or SEZ units on this specific requirement.
