For consignments originating from Bangladesh, verify compliance with DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025, which introduces Para 19 in the General Notes regulating import policy under ITC (HS) 2022 and imposes port restrictions on certain goods.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that the azo-dye testing exemption for listed countries eliminates the PSIC requirement entirely. The exemption applies only to the azo-dye parameter; a PSIC covering composition and other prohibited dyes remains mandatory for all origins. Separately, importers sourcing from Bangladesh must review the Para 2 and Para 3 exemption lists under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 before vessel booking, as a port-restriction breach at the bill-of-entry stage results in consignment detention.
