A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye exemption applies because the exporting country is on the exempted list, then neglecting to obtain any PSIC at all. The exemption applies only to the azo-dye test parameter; a PSIC or valid test report covering other prohibited hazardous dyes and composition parameters remains mandatory regardless of origin. A consignment arriving without any PSIC documentation is liable to detention pending re-testing at the importer's cost.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6112 19 90 require BIS certification?

No, knitted track suits, ski suits and swimwear of other textile materials are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by DGFT under the ITC (HS) import policy, with a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement under General Note 10 as the operative compliance obligation.

Which countries are exempt from azo-dye testing for this tariff line?

Exemption from azo-dye testing applies only to imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom per General Note 10 and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023; a PSIC covering other parameters remains required even from these origins.

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

The notification applies where Para 19 of the General Notes to ITC (HS) 2022 is triggered; importers must check whether the specific goods fall within the exempted categories in Para 2 and Para 3 before selecting the port of import, as consignments routed through non-permitted ports are liable to detention.
