2
If the consignment originates from Bangladesh, verify applicable port restrictions and assess whether the goods fall under the exempted categories listed in paragraphs 2 and 3 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26. Non-exempted goods must be routed through the ports specified in paragraph 1 of that notification.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye country exemption is a blanket waiver of the PSIC requirement. The exemption applies only to azo-dye testing; the PSIC from an accredited laboratory or a Textile Committee test report confirming composition and the absence of other prohibited dyes remains mandatory regardless of country of origin. For Bangladesh-origin consignments, the port-restriction overlay under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 must be verified before booking freight, as diversion to a non-notified port triggers detention and potential re-export.
