Men's or boys' suits of other textile materials (woven, not knitted)
HSN 6203 29 19 (men's or boys' suits of other textile materials) is subject to ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), with woollen and blended textile imports governed by Notification No. CER(18)/99-CLB dated 7 March 1988 read with the Textile (Development & Regulation) Order, 2001. A Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate certifying textile composition and confirming absence of prohibited azo dyes is mandatory at the bill of entry under General Notes 10 and 11 of the ITC (HS) policy.
- Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from accredited laboratory
- Certificate of origin from exporting country
- Brand authenticity certificate from brand owner
- 1For woollen or blended textile consignments, obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country certifying the fibre composition, a Certificate of Origin, and a certificate from the brand owner confirming genuineness and authority to use the brand name. All three documents are required at the bill of entry.Notification No. CER(18)/99-CLB dated 7 March 1988 · Textile (Development & Regulation) Order, 2001 · General Note 11 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy
- 2Accompany all textile and clothing consignments with a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory certifying the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes. Azo-dye testing is exempted only for imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom; all other origins must produce the PSIC.General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy · DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023
- 3For consignments originating from or routed through Bangladesh, verify applicability of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025. Port restrictions under Para 1 apply unless the goods fall within the exempted categories listed in Paras 2 and 3 of that notification.DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025 · Para 19 of General Notes, ITC (HS) 2022
The most common error on this tariff line is assuming a single PSIC covering azo-dye absence satisfies all inspection requirements. For woollen and blended textile suits, a second, distinct PSIC certifying fibre composition is separately required under General Note 11, along with the brand-owner authenticity certificate — an omission that triggers consignment detention and demurrage at the port of import until full documentation is produced.
