2
If the consignment originates from Bangladesh, verify applicability of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17 May 2025: check whether the goods fall within the exempted categories under paragraphs 2 and 3 of Para 19, and if not, ensure routing through the permitted ports as specified in paragraph 1.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the PSIC exemption for listed countries extends to all documentation requirements. The exemption covers azo-dye testing only; the PSIC itself for other composition parameters and the requirement to confirm absence of other prohibited dyes remains in force even for EU and other exempt-origin shipments. A consignment arriving without any PSIC, regardless of origin, is liable to detention at the port pending compliance.
