Azo-dye testing is exempted only for imports originating from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom.

2
If the consignment originates from Bangladesh, verify applicability of the port restrictions introduced under para 19 of the General Notes of ITC (HS) 2022. Confirm whether the goods fall within the exempted categories under paras 2 and 3 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26, and route accordingly through permitted ports only.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is assuming that origin from an azo-dye-exempt country (such as an EU member state) dispenses with the PSIC requirement entirely. The azo-dye exemption covers only that specific test parameter; the PSIC for all other prohibited hazardous dyes and composition parameters remains mandatory regardless of origin. A consignment arriving without a valid PSIC or Textile Committee test report is liable to detention and ground rent accumulation pending re-examination.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6112 20 40 require BIS certification?

No, knitted ski suits of synthetic fibres are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, principally the PSIC requirement under General Note 10 and the Bangladesh-origin port restrictions under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26.

Is the azo-dye testing exemption a full waiver of the PSIC requirement for imports from exempt countries?

No. The exemption under General Note 10 applies only to the azo-dye test parameter; a PSIC or valid test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory certifying absence of all other prohibited hazardous dyes remains mandatory for all origins per DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023.

What port restrictions apply to imports of these ski suits from Bangladesh?

DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025 introduced para 19 in the General Notes of ITC (HS) 2022, restricting import of certain goods from Bangladesh to specified ports; importers must verify whether the consignment qualifies under the exemptions in paras 2 and 3 before routing.
