Prepared painting canvas

Prepared painting canvas, gum-coated textile fabrics

HSN 5901 10 20 (Prepared painting canvas) is subject to the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), which requires a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate confirming absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes under General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy. No restricted-import licence applies, but the PSIC requirement is mandatory for all origins except the nine exempt countries notified under DGFT Public Notice 14/2023.

1. 1
   Before shipment, obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or a valid test report from a Textile Committee (TC) or CSRTI laboratory, certifying the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes. This document must be uploaded in e-Sanchit and presented at the bill-of-entry stage.

2. 2
   Confirm whether the country of origin is among the nine azo-dye-testing-exempt origins: EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and United Kingdom. For all other origins, the PSIC or TC/CSRTI test report is mandatory without exception; consignments lacking the certificate are liable to detention at the port of import.
