1
For consignments containing woollen or blended textile content, obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory certifying fibre composition, a Certificate of Origin, and a certificate from the brand owner confirming product genuineness and authority to use brand markings. These documents must accompany the bill of entry per General Note 11 of the ITC (HS) policy.

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

3
If the consignment originates from Bangladesh, verify compliance with DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025, which introduced Para 19 in the General Notes regulating Bangladesh-origin goods with specified port restrictions. Confirm whether the goods fall within the exempted categories under Para 2 and Para 3 of that notification before filing the bill of entry.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye PSIC requirement applies uniformly — importers from exempt origins (EU, South Korea, UK, and six others) frequently omit the country-of-origin verification that triggers the exemption, leaving customs officers unable to accept the claim at the bill-of-entry stage. For woollen or blended content, the brand-owner certificate is a distinct and non-substitutable document; a manufacturer's certificate of conformity does not satisfy it. Bangladesh-origin consignments require port-restriction compliance regardless of whether the PSIC conditions are met.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6104 29 90 require BIS certification?

No, knitted women's and girls' garments of other textile materials are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with PSIC, composition certification, and azo-dye testing requirements under General Notes 10 and 11.

Is the Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate for woollen blends the same document as the azo-dye PSIC?

No — they are distinct requirements. The woollen-blend PSIC under General Note 11 certifies fibre composition and must be accompanied by a brand-owner certificate, while the azo-dye PSIC under General Note 10 is a separate laboratory test report certifying absence of prohibited hazardous dyes.

What port restrictions apply to Bangladesh-origin garments under this tariff line?

DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17 May 2025 introduced Para 19 in the General Notes restricting import of certain Bangladesh-origin goods to specified ports; exempted goods are listed in Para 2 and Para 3 of that notification and must be verified before routing the consignment.
