A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the PSIC requirement applies only to countries with poor dye-compliance track records — it is a universal obligation for all origins not on the nine-country azo-dye exemption list. A consignment from any non-exempt country that arrives without a valid PSIC or Textile Committee test report will be detained at the port of import pending documentary compliance, attracting demurrage and ground rent.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6107 22 10 require BIS certification?

No, men's or boys' knitted nightwear and underwear of synthetic fibres are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement under General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy.

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

Only the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing; a valid PSIC or Textile Committee test report covering other parameters remains required even for these origins.

Do the Bangladesh port restrictions under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 apply to all consignments from Bangladesh?

Not necessarily — Paragraphs 2 and 3 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025 carve out exempted goods; the importer must verify whether HSN 6107 22 10 falls within those exemptions before nominating the port of entry.
