DGFT CLEARANCE

HSN 5407 84 10 (Nylon georgette) is subject to ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), which requires a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (PSIC) 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. The requirement derives from General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy, as clarified by DGFT Public Notice 14/2023.

2
Confirm the country of origin before filing the bill of entry.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the azo-dye exemption for listed countries as a blanket waiver of the PSIC requirement. The exemption is restricted solely to azo-dye testing; the Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate covering all other prohibited hazardous dyes remains mandatory regardless of origin. Consignments arriving without a valid PSIC or Textile Committee test report are liable to detention at the port of import pending documentary compliance.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 5407 84 10 require BIS certification?

No, printed nylon georgette fabric is not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, principally through the General Note 10 requirement for a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate certifying absence of prohibited hazardous dyes.

Which countries are exempt from the azo-dye testing requirement for this HSN?

Only imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing under DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023; the PSIC for other hazardous dyes is still required from these origins.

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

Absence of a valid PSIC or Textile Committee test report renders the consignment non-compliant with General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy, exposing it to detention at port and potential re-export or confiscation at the discretion of the proper officer.
