Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (PSIC) from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or a valid test report from a Textile Committee (TC) or CSRTI laboratory, certifying the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes. Imports from EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing only.

2
For consignments originating from Bangladesh, verify applicability of Para 19 of the General Notes introduced by DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025, which imposes port restrictions on certain goods imported from Bangladesh. Confirm whether the goods fall under the exempted categories listed in Paras 2 and 3 of that notification before routing the shipment.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye testing exemption for listed countries also waives the PSIC for other textile parameters — it does not. The country-of-origin exemption applies solely to azo-dye testing; a PSIC covering composition and other prohibited substances remains mandatory regardless of the exporting country. Importers sourcing from Bangladesh must additionally confirm port eligibility under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 before vessel booking, as routing to a non-notified port renders the consignment liable to detention.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6102 90 90 require BIS certification?

No, knitted or crocheted women's outerwear falls outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade under the ITC (HS) 2022 import policy, principally through the Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement for hazardous dye absence under General Note 10.

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

Only EU member states, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing per General Note 10 and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023; the PSIC for other parameters remains mandatory even for these origins.

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

The port restrictions under Para 19 of the General Notes apply only to consignments originating from Bangladesh; goods qualifying under the exempted categories in Paras 2 and 3 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 are carved out, and the restriction does not apply to other origins.
