  2. 2
    Confirm whether the exporting country qualifies for the azo-dye testing exemption. The exemption applies only to imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom; consignments from all other origins must carry a conforming PSIC regardless of the importer's own testing arrangements.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that the PSIC requirement is a formality or that the exempt-country list covers major textile-exporting economies beyond those explicitly listed. Countries such as China, Bangladesh, Turkey, and Vietnam are not on the exempt list; a consignment from any of these origins arriving without a conforming PSIC will be detained at the port of entry, accruing demurrage and ground rent, with no rectification option once the bill of entry is filed.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 5810 92 90 require BIS certification?
No, embroidery of man-made fibres falls outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime; no BIS QCO covers this product family. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement for azo-dye compliance under General Note 10.
Which accredited laboratories can issue the PSIC for azo-dye compliance?
The PSIC must be issued by an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or alternatively a valid test report from the Textile Committee or CSRTI is acceptable, per General Note 10 and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023.
Does the azo-dye testing exemption apply if only part of a shipment originates from an exempt country?
The exemption is origin-specific and applies only where the entire consignment is sourced from one of the nine listed exempt countries; mixed-origin or transshipped consignments from non-exempt origins are not covered and require a conforming PSIC.
