2
If the consignment originates from Bangladesh, confirm compliance with the port restrictions and applicable exemptions introduced under Para 19 of the General Notes by DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye testing exemption for listed countries extends to all PSIC requirements — it does not. The exemption covers azo-dye testing only; a full Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate for hazardous substances and other mandatory parameters remains compulsory for every origin, including the nine exempt countries. Presenting only an azo-dye clearance without the full PSIC will result in consignment detention at the port of import.
