If the consignment originates from Bangladesh, verify compliance with DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025, which introduces Para 19 to the General Notes regulating import of certain goods from Bangladesh with specified port restrictions. Confirm whether the goods fall under the exempted categories listed in Para 2 and Para 3 of that notification.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that the azo-dye testing exemption for named countries eliminates the PSIC requirement entirely. The exemption applies only to the azo-dye test; the Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate for other composition and quality parameters remains mandatory for all origins. Separately, importers sourcing from Bangladesh must confirm port eligibility under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 before shipment, as routing through a non-permitted port exposes the consignment to detention and re-export.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6112 19 10 require BIS certification?

No, knitted or crocheted silk garments in this category are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement under General Note 10 and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023.

Is the PSIC required even if the exporting country is on the azo-dye exemption list?

Yes. The azo-dye testing exemption under General Note 10 covers only that specific test; a PSIC from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country or a valid Textile Committee or CSRTI test report remains mandatory for all consignments regardless of origin.

What additional restriction applies to imports from Bangladesh?

DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025 imposes port restrictions on certain goods imported from Bangladesh under Para 19 of the General Notes; goods qualifying under Para 2 or Para 3 are exempted, and importers must confirm their product's status before vessel dispatch to avoid consignment detention.
