A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye testing exemption extends beyond the nine listed countries. Imports from all other origins — including Bangladesh — require a valid PSIC from an accredited laboratory regardless of the importer's internal quality records; a missing or invalid certificate results in consignment detention at the port of entry pending submission of a compliant test report.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6104 33 00 require BIS certification?

No, knitted women's and girls' garments of synthetic fibres 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, principally through the azo-dye PSIC requirement under General Note 10 and the Bangladesh-origin port restrictions under General Note para 19.

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

Testing for the presence of azo dyes is exempted only for imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom; all other origins must present a PSIC from an accredited laboratory or a valid Textile Committee or CSRTI test report.

Do the Bangladesh-origin port restrictions under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 apply to all garments under this HSN?

Not necessarily — para 2 and para 3 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025 list exempted goods; importers must check those paragraphs to determine whether their specific consignment qualifies for exemption from the para 19 port restrictions.
