DGFT CLEARANCE

HSN 5407 82 90 (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 mandates a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate certifying absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes under General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy. The requirement applies to all exporting countries except specified exempt origins.

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 dyes before shipment. This requirement flows from General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy and applies at the bill-of-entry stage.

2
Verify whether the country of origin qualifies for the azo-dye testing exemption. Testing for azo dyes is exempted only for imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom; all other origins must submit the full PSIC covering azo-dye absence.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye testing exemption applies broadly because the supplier is a large, reputable manufacturer. The exemption is strictly country-of-origin based, not manufacturer-based: a consignment from a non-exempt country accompanied only by a manufacturer's self-declaration — rather than a PSIC from an accredited laboratory — will be detained at customs, attracting demurrage and ground rent while the correct certificate is sourced post-arrival.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 5407 82 90 require BIS certification?

No, dyed woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, principally the hazardous-dye prohibition under General Note 10 and the PSIC requirement per DGFT Public Notice 14/2023.

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

The EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing only; the PSIC requirement for other composition and quality parameters under General Note 10 continues to apply even for these origins.

What happens if the PSIC is unavailable at the time of filing the bill of entry?

Absence of the mandatory PSIC at the bill-of-entry stage renders the consignment non-compliant with General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy, exposing it to detention and customs hold until the required certificate from an accredited laboratory is produced.
