Compliance steps

1

2
Verify whether the exporting country qualifies for the azo-dye testing exemption. Only imports from EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing; all other origins must furnish the PSIC at the bill of entry.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that the azo-dye testing exemption available to certain named countries extends to composition or other hazardous-substance testing under General Note 10 — it does not. The exemption is confined to azo-dye presence; the PSIC covering all other prohibited-dye parameters remains mandatory regardless of the country of export, and a missing or non-accredited PSIC at the bill of entry will result in consignment detention pending document regularisation.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 5801 22 90 require BIS certification?

No, cut corduroy woven pile fabrics are 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 the azo-dye-absence certification requirement under General Note 10.

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 only are exempt from testing for azo-dye presence; PSIC covering other prohibited hazardous dyes remains required even for these origins per DGFT Public Notice 14/2023.

Is a test report from a domestic Textile Committee laboratory acceptable in lieu of a foreign accredited-lab PSIC?

Yes. A valid test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory is accepted as an alternative to a PSIC from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, per General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy.
