If the consignment originates from Bangladesh, verify applicability of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17 May 2025 and the port restrictions introduced under Para 19 of the General Notes of the ITC (HS) 2022. Confirm whether the goods qualify under the exemptions listed in Para 2 and Para 3 before routing the shipment.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye PSIC exemption for listed countries extends to all documentary requirements — the exemption covers only the azo-dye test, not the full PSIC for other prohibited hazardous dyes or general composition parameters. Separately, importers sourcing from Bangladesh must actively check Para 2 and Para 3 exemptions under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 before nominating a port of entry; a consignment routed through a non-notified port is liable to detention and demurrage pending re-routing.
