Obtain a PSIC 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. Testing for azo-dye presence is exempted only for imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom; all other origins must carry this certification.

If the consignment originates from Bangladesh, verify applicability of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025, which introduced Para 19 in the General Notes regulating imports of certain goods from Bangladesh with specified port restrictions. Confirm whether the goods fall under the exempted categories listed in Para 2 and Para 3 of that notification before routing the consignment.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the PSIC as a single document when, in fact, three separate certifications are required: the composition PSIC from an accredited laboratory, the certificate of origin, and the brand-owner genuineness certificate. Arriving at customs with any one of these absent — particularly the brand-owner certificate — causes consignment detention at the port of import, as customs officers are directed to verify all three before granting out-of-charge. The brand-owner certificate must explicitly confirm authority to use brand names and authenticate the markings on the garments.
