Dyed warp knit fabrics, other than headings 6001 to 6004
HSN 6005 42 00 (Dyed warp knit fabrics) is subject to the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), requiring a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate for absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes under General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy. Imports from origins outside the exempt-country list must furnish a PSIC from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country or a valid test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory.
- Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from accredited lab
- Test report from Textile Committee
- 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 azo dyes before shipment. Upload this document in e-Sanchit at the bill of entry stage.General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy · DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023
- 2Confirm the country of origin. Azo-dye testing and the PSIC requirement are exempted for imports originating from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom only; all other origins must comply with the PSIC requirement 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 extends to any country with high textile-quality standards; the exemption list is exhaustive and country-specific, not standard-equivalence-based. A consignment from a non-listed origin arriving without a valid PSIC or Textile Committee test report will be detained at the port of import, attracting demurrage and ground rent pending documentary compliance. The exemption applies to azo-dye testing only — other prohibited-hazardous-dye requirements under General Note 10 remain applicable to all origins.
