A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that the azo-dye PSIC exemption for listed countries dispenses with all pre-shipment documentation: the PSIC covering composition, fibre content and other textile parameters remains required even for exempt origins — only the azo-dye test component is waived. Separately, importers sourcing from Bangladesh must confirm port eligibility under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 before booking vessel space, as routing through a non-notified port triggers consignment detention.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6101 30 10 require BIS certification?

No, knitted men's or boys' overcoats of synthetic fibres fall outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, principally the azo-dye PSIC requirement under General Note 10 and the Bangladesh port-restriction overlay under General Note para 19.

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

Per General Note 10 and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023, testing for azo dyes is exempted only for imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom; all other origins must furnish a PSIC or Textile Committee/CSRTI test report.

Do the Bangladesh port restrictions under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 apply to all consignments of this HSN from Bangladesh?

The port restrictions under para 1 of General Note para 19 apply unless the goods fall within the exempted categories listed in paras 2 and 3 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025; importers should verify the exemption schedule before shipment.
