Consult paras 2 and 3 of the same notification to confirm whether the exemption categories apply to the specific consignment.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that country-of-origin exemption from azo-dye testing eliminates the Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement entirely — the azo-dye exemption for listed countries covers only that specific parameter, and the PSIC for other composition and hazardous-substance parameters remains mandatory. Separately, importers sourcing from Bangladesh must confirm port eligibility under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 before vessel departure; a consignment arriving at a non-notified port is liable to detention regardless of PSIC compliance.
