If the consignment originates from Bangladesh, verify applicability of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025. Para 19 of the General Notes introduces port restrictions on certain goods imported from Bangladesh; confirm whether the goods fall under the exempted categories in Para 2 and Para 3 before routing the shipment.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that the azo-dye PSIC exemption for specified countries covers all textile compliance requirements — the PSIC certifies only azo-dye absence and does not substitute for the test report on other prohibited hazardous dyes. For Bangladesh-origin shipments, failure to assess applicability of Para 19 port restrictions before vessel departure results in consignment detention at a non-designated port with no rectification path short of re-export.
