Compliance steps

1
For consignments containing woollen or blended textiles, obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (PSIC) from an accredited laboratory certifying the fibre composition, a Certificate of Origin, and a certificate from the brand owner certifying the genuineness of the product and markings and authorising use of the brand name. These are mandatory under General Note 11 of the ITC (HS) policy read with Notification No. CER (18)/99-CLB dated 7 March 1988 and the Textile (Development & Regulation) Order, 2001.

2
Ensure the consignment is accompanied by a PSIC from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or a valid test report from a Textile Committee (TC) or CSRTI laboratory, certifying the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes. Azo-dye testing is exempted only for imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom.

3
If the consignment originates from Bangladesh, verify applicability of the port restrictions introduced under Para 19 of the General Notes by DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17 May 2025. Review the exempted-goods carve-outs in Para 2 and Para 3 of that notification before routing the consignment to the port of entry.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is failing to obtain the brand-owner genuineness certificate for woollen or blended textile consignments — importers secure the fibre-composition PSIC but overlook this separate document. A missing brand-owner certificate is not a rectifiable labelling defect; it is a substantive policy non-compliance that can result in consignment detention and demurrage pending re-export or confiscation under the ITC (HS) Restricted-import regime.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6107 19 90 require BIS certification?

No, men's or boys' knitted garments of other textile materials are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by ITC (HS) policy controls administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, including PSIC and composition-certification requirements under General Notes 10 and 11.

Is the azo-dye PSIC required even if the fabric is not woollen?

Yes. The azo-dye PSIC requirement under General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy applies to all textile and textile articles, not only woollen blends; it is separate from the wool-composition PSIC and the brand-owner certificate required under General Note 11.

Does the Bangladesh-origin port restriction under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 apply to all consignments from Bangladesh?

Not universally — Para 2 and Para 3 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17 May 2025 specify exempted goods; importers must confirm whether HSN 6107 19 90 falls within those exemptions before selecting the port of entry.
