Compliance steps

1
Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or a valid test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory, certifying absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes. Imports from EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing; all other origins must comply.

2
If the consignment originates from Bangladesh, verify applicability of the port restrictions introduced under paragraph 19 of the General Notes via DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025. Confirm whether the goods fall within the exempted categories listed in paragraphs 2 and 3 before routing; non-permitted ports trigger detention and return of the consignment.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye country-of-origin exemption eliminates the PSIC requirement entirely. The exemption applies only to azo-dye testing; any remaining mandatory parameters under General Note 10 — including other prohibited dye categories — still require a valid test report regardless of origin. For Bangladesh-origin consignments, failure to assess the paragraph 1 port restriction before vessel departure results in consignment detention with no on-arrival rectification available.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6108 92 10 require BIS certification?

No, knitted women's and girls' underwear and nightwear of synthetic fibres is not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, principally through the Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement under General Note 10 and the Bangladesh port-restriction overlay under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26.

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

Imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom only are exempt from azo-dye testing per General Note 10 and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023; all other origins require a PSIC or valid TC/CSRTI test report.

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

Not automatically — paragraphs 2 and 3 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025 list exempted goods; importers must confirm whether HSN 6108 92 10 falls within those exemptions before booking the port of discharge, as the restriction operates at the port-of-entry stage.
