2
Verify the country of export before relying on the azo-dye testing exemption.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the country-of-origin azo-dye exemption as a blanket waiver of the Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement. The exemption applies to azo-dye testing alone; a PSIC certifying the absence of all other prohibited hazardous dyes is still required regardless of origin. Consignments arriving without a valid PSIC or TC/CSRTI test report are liable to detention at the port of import pending documentary rectification.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 5407 82 50 require BIS certification?

No, dyed synthetic-filament woven fabrics including terylene and dacron sarees 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, primarily through the General Note 10 hazardous-dye compliance requirement.

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

Per DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14 June 2023, imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing only; all other origins must submit a PSIC or valid TC/CSRTI test report confirming azo-dye absence.

Is a TC or CSRTI test report an acceptable substitute for the PSIC?

Yes. A valid test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory is accepted in lieu of a PSIC from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, provided it certifies the absence of the prohibited hazardous dyes specified under General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy.
