For woollen textile and blended textile garments, obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory certifying the composition of the woollen textile or blend, a certificate of origin, and a certificate from the brand owner certifying the genuineness of the product, its markings, and authority to use the brand name. These documents must accompany the consignment at the bill of entry.

Ensure the consignment is accompanied by a PSIC from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country or a valid test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory certifying absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes. Testing for azo dyes is exempted only for imports originating from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom.

3
Verify applicability of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025 regarding Para 19 of the General Notes, which imposes port restrictions on imports of certain goods from Bangladesh. Confirm whether the consignment qualifies under the exemptions listed in Para 2 and Para 3 of that Notification before routing.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is assuming the PSIC requirement applies only to woollen garments and overlooking that the azo-dye testing obligation under General Note 10 applies to all textile and textile articles regardless of fibre composition. An importer sourcing garments of other textile materials from a non-exempt country without a valid azo-dye test report faces consignment detention at the port of entry; the country-of-origin exemption list is closed and does not extend to transit or indirect shipments from exempt countries.
