HSN 6001 29 00 (Of other textile materials) 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 the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes. This requirement derives from General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023.
- Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from accredited lab
- Test report from Textile Committee or CSRTI
- ITC (HS) policy declaration from DGFT
- 1Obtain 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 dyes. This document must accompany the bill of entry for all origins not covered by the azo-dye testing exemption.General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy · DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023
- 2Verify whether the country of origin qualifies for the azo-dye testing exemption: imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing only. All other origins must furnish the PSIC or valid test report without exception.General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy · DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023
The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye exemption applies country-wide when it covers only the nine listed origins and only for azo-dye testing — other prohibited hazardous dye parameters remain subject to full PSIC scrutiny for all countries, including exempt ones. A consignment arriving without a valid PSIC or test report from a non-exempt origin will be detained at port pending documentary compliance, accruing demurrage and ground rent.
