2
Confirm whether the country of origin qualifies for the azo-dye testing exemption.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the country-of-origin exemption from azo-dye testing dispenses with all PSIC obligations. The exemption applies to azo-dye testing only; a consignment from an exempt country may still require a test report covering other prohibited hazardous dye parameters under General Note 10. Consignments arriving without the requisite documentation are liable to detention at the port of entry pending production of a compliant PSIC or TC/CSRTI test report.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 5407 84 50 require BIS certification?

No, printed terylene and dacron sarees are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) 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 azo-dye testing for this tariff line?

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 from an accredited lab or a valid TC or CSRTI test report per DGFT Public Notice 14/2023.

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

Customs will not grant out-of-charge; the consignment is detained at the port of entry, attracting demurrage and ground rent, until a compliant Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate or TC/CSRTI test report is produced and verified by the proper officer.
