For consignments originating from Bangladesh, verify compliance with para 19 of the General Notes introduced by DGFT Notification 7/2025-26: route the consignment only through the permitted ports specified in para 1, and confirm whether the goods qualify for the exemptions stated in paras 2 and 3 of that notification.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye testing exemption applies to all origins. The exemption covers only nine specified countries; consignments from all other origins — including Bangladesh, China, and other major apparel exporters — require a PSIC or valid Textile Committee test report before out-of-charge. A missing or deficient PSIC at the bill of entry results in consignment detention and potential demurrage while the document is retrospectively obtained.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6110 30 10 require BIS certification?
