1
Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country certifying the composition of the woollen textile or blend, together with a Certificate of Origin and a certificate from the brand owner confirming the genuineness of the product, markings, and authority to use the brand name.

2
Ensure the PSIC from the accredited laboratory also certifies absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes. Testing for azo dyes is exempted only for imports originating from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom; all other origins require the azo-dye test report.

3
Verify applicability of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025 where the consignment originates from or is routed through Bangladesh. Para 19 of the General Notes imposes port restrictions on certain goods imported from Bangladesh; confirm whether the consignment falls within the exempted categories listed under Paras 2 and 3 of that notification before nominating the port of entry.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is submitting a PSIC that certifies only fibre composition without addressing azo-dye absence — the two are separate testing requirements and a single-purpose PSIC covering only composition is treated as incomplete documentation, resulting in consignment detention pending a supplementary test report. The brand-owner certificate is equally non-negotiable and is frequently overlooked for private-label or white-label sourcing arrangements where the shipper is not the brand owner.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6112 19 20 require BIS certification?

No, knitted track suits and ski suits of wool or fine animal hair are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade under the Textile (Development & Regulation) Order, 2001, with mandatory PSIC, Certificate of Origin, and brand-owner certification requirements.

Is the PSIC for azo-dye absence required for imports from all countries?

No. Testing for azo dyes is exempted for imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom only, per General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023; the PSIC for textile composition remains required regardless of origin.

Do the Bangladesh port restrictions under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 apply to this HSN?

Potentially yes. Para 19 of the General Notes introduced by DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025 restricts import of certain goods from Bangladesh through specified ports; importers must check whether this tariff line falls within the exempted categories in Paras 2 and 3 before nominating the port of entry.
