Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or a valid test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory, certifying the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes. This requirement applies to all origins except EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom.

2
Upload the PSIC or valid test report in e-Sanchit at the bill of entry stage and confirm origin eligibility for the azo-dye testing exemption before filing. Consignments from non-exempt countries filed without a current PSIC are liable to detention at the port of import.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that the azo-dye PSIC exemption for listed countries extends to all testing requirements — it does not. The exemption covers only the testing for the presence of azo dyes; compliance with General Note 10 on other prohibited hazardous substances remains mandatory regardless of the country of export. Filing the bill of entry with an origin-exempt declaration but no supporting test report for non-azo parameters invites examination and detention.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 5811 00 90 require BIS certification?

No, quilted textile products in the piece 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 through the hazardous-dye Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement under General Note 10.

Which countries are exempt from azo-dye testing for this tariff line?

EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom only, per DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023; all other origins must submit a PSIC from an accredited laboratory.

Can a Textile Committee test report substitute for the Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate?

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.
