HSN 6103 10 90 (Other men's or boys' knitted suits) is subject to the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), with wool and blended-textile consignments additionally governed by Notification No. CER (18)/99-CLB dated 7 March 1988 read with the Textile (Development & Regulation) Order, 2001. A Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate certifying fibre composition and azo-dye absence is mandatory, and Bangladesh-origin consignments face port restrictions under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26.

- 1For wool or blended-textile suits, accompany the consignment with a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory certifying fibre composition, a Certificate of Origin, and a certificate from the brand owner attesting to the genuineness of the product and authorising use of the brand name. These documents are mandatory under General Note 11 of the ITC (HS) policy.Notification No. CER (18)/99-CLB dated 07-03-1988 read with Textile (Development & Regulation) Order, 2001 · General Note 11 of ITC (HS) policy
- 2Obtain 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.General Note 10 of ITC (HS) policy · DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023
- 3If 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.DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025 · Para 19 of General Notes, ITC (HS) 2022
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.
