  2. 2
    Obtain 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 absence of prohibited azo dyes. Azo-dye testing is exempted only for imports originating from EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom.

  3. 3
    If the consignment originates from Bangladesh, verify port eligibility and exemption status under Para 19 of the General Notes to the ITC (HS) 2022. Consignments not qualifying under the exemptions in Paras 2 and 3 must arrive through the restricted ports listed in Para 1 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is presenting a single PSIC covering only azo-dye absence while overlooking the separate composition-certification and brand-owner-genuineness requirements that apply specifically to wool and blended suits under General Note 11. A consignment with a complete azo-dye PSIC but no brand-owner certificate or fibre-composition certification is detained at port pending the missing documents, accruing demurrage and ground rent until the deficiency is rectified.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 6103 10 90 require BIS certification?
No, knitted men's or boys' suits in this residual category are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate, composition, and brand-owner-genuineness requirements applicable under General Notes 10 and 11.
Is the brand-owner genuineness certificate required for all suits or only woollen and blended ones?
The brand-owner certificate and fibre-composition PSIC requirements under General Note 11 apply specifically to woollen textiles and blended textiles governed by Notification No. CER (18)/99-CLB read with the Textile (Development & Regulation) Order, 2001; non-woollen, non-blended garments in this HSN are not subject to that overlay.
What restrictions apply to Bangladesh-origin consignments under this HSN?
DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17 May 2025 introduced Para 19 into the ITC (HS) 2022 General Notes, restricting Bangladesh-origin garment imports to specified ports; consignments qualifying under the exemptions listed in Paras 2 and 3 of that notification are not subject to the port restriction.
