Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country certifying the composition of the woollen textile or blend. The PSIC must be accompanied by a certificate of origin and a certificate from the brand owner confirming the genuineness of the product, its markings, and the authority to use the brand name.

  2. 2
    Ensure the PSIC also certifies the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes, as required for all textile and textile articles under General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy. Azo-dye testing is exempted only for imports originating from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom; all other origins must provide a compliant test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is presenting a PSIC that certifies azo-dye absence but omits the woollen-blend composition declaration required under General Note 11 — these are two distinct certification obligations and a single PSIC must satisfy both. A PSIC that is silent on composition, or a brand-owner certificate that covers the brand name but not the authority to use it on the specific consignment, will cause detention at the customs station and demurrage pending a fresh PSIC. Confirm with the accredited laboratory before shipment that both General Note 10 and General Note 11 requirements are addressed on the face of the certificate.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 5702 91 30 require BIS certification?
No, woven wool or fine animal hair floor coverings are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade under the Textile (Development & Regulation) Order, 2001 and the ITC (HS) policy conditions set out in General Notes 10 and 11.
Is the brand-owner certificate required for every consignment, including private-label or unbranded goods?
The requirement under General Note 11 applies to branded products; the certificate must confirm both the genuineness of the product and markings and the exporter's authority to use the brand name. Consignments without a recognised brand marking should still carry a composition-certifying PSIC and a certificate of origin.
Which countries are exempt from azo-dye testing under General Note 10?
EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom only; for all other origins a PSIC or valid test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory certifying the absence of prohibited hazardous dyes is mandatory.
