Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or a valid test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory, certifying the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes. Imports from EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing only; PSIC for other parameters remains required for all origins.

2
If the consignment originates from Bangladesh, verify applicability of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025 and comply with the port restrictions prescribed under Para 1 of the General Notes. Check whether the goods fall within the exempted categories listed under Para 2 and Para 3 before routing to port.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye testing exemption for listed countries negates the PSIC requirement altogether. The exemption applies only to the azo-dye test; a PSIC or valid test report confirming absence of other prohibited hazardous dyes remains mandatory for all origins. Presenting an incomplete certificate — one that addresses azo dyes only — is treated as non-compliance at the bill of entry, risking consignment detention.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6112 20 10 require BIS certification?

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

EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing only, per General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023; PSIC for other parameters remains required.
