HSN 5702 41 90 (woven wool carpets and rugs of fine animal hair, other) is subject to import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) under General Note 11 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy, read with the Textile (Development & Regulation) Order, 2001 and Notification No. CER(18)/99-CLB dated 7 March 1988. Consignments must be accompanied by a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (PSIC) certifying fibre composition, a certificate of origin, and a brand-owner authenticity certificate, with an additional azo-dye test report required for non-exempt origins under General Note 10.

1. 1
   Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country certifying the fibre composition of the woollen textile or blend. Also secure a certificate of origin and a certificate from the brand owner confirming the genuineness of the product, its markings, and authority to use the brand name. All three documents must accompany the consignment at the bill of entry.
