A word of counsel

The azo-dye testing exemption is origin-specific and narrow: only the nine listed countries qualify, and no equivalence is extended to goods transshipped through an exempt country but manufactured elsewhere. Importers sourcing from non-exempt origins who present a PSIC from a non-accredited laboratory face detention of the consignment and re-testing at the importer's cost, with out-of-charge withheld until a compliant test report is uploaded in e-Sanchit.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6112 20 90 require BIS certification?

No, knitted ski suits fall outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate for azo-dye absence as the primary compliance obligation under General Note 10.

Which laboratories are acceptable for the PSIC for azo-dye testing?

The PSIC must be issued by an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or alternatively a valid test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory is accepted, per General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023.

Do the Bangladesh port restrictions under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 apply to all ski suit imports from Bangladesh?

Not necessarily — Paras 2 and 3 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025 set out exempted goods categories; importers must assess whether their specific consignment falls within those exemptions before selecting the port of import.
