Compliance steps

1
Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (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. Imports from EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing only; the PSIC for other compositional parameters remains required for all origins.

2
If the consignment originates from Bangladesh, verify compliance with para 19 of the General Notes under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26, which imposes port restrictions on import of certain goods from Bangladesh. Confirm whether the goods fall within the exempted categories listed in para 2 and para 3 of that notification before nominating the port of import.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is treating the azo-dye testing exemption for listed countries as a blanket waiver of the PSIC requirement. The exemption is confined solely to the azo-dye test; the PSIC covering composition and other hazardous-dye parameters remains mandatory for all origins. Consignments presented without a valid PSIC at the bill-of-entry stage are subject to detention and demurrage pending rectification.
