A word of counsel

The azo-dye PSIC exemption is country-of-origin specific and covers only the listed nine countries; importers sourcing from all other origins — including popular apparel-manufacturing hubs not on the exemption list — must procure a valid PSIC or TC/CSRTI test report before dispatch. A consignment arriving without the required certificate is liable to detention at the port of import, with demurrage and ground rent accumulating until the deficiency is rectified or the goods are re-exported.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6102 30 10 require BIS certification?

No, knitted women's or girls' outerwear of synthetic fibres is not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, principally through the azo-dye Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement under General Note 10.

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

EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing per General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023; the PSIC requirement for other parameters remains applicable.

Do the Bangladesh port restrictions under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 apply to all synthetic-fibre outerwear from Bangladesh?

Not necessarily — Para 2 and Para 3 of General Note 19 list exempted goods; importers must check whether their specific product falls within those exempted categories before selecting a port of import.
