Of wool or fine animal hair
Men's or boys' trousers and suits of wool or fine animal hair
HSN 6203 41 00 (Of wool or fine animal hair) is governed by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) import policy under the Textile (Development & Regulation) Order, 2001, read with Notification No. CER (18)/99-CLB dated 7 March 1988 and the Essential Commodities Act, 1955, as referenced in General Note 11. A Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (PSIC) certifying fibre composition, a certificate of origin, and a brand-owner authenticity certificate are mandated for all consignments, with an additional azo-dye test requirement under General Note 10.
- Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from accredited laboratory
- Certificate of origin from exporter
- Brand-owner authenticity certificate from brand owner
- 1Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (PSIC) from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or a valid test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory, certifying the fibre composition of the woollen textile or blend. Also secure a certificate of origin and a certificate from the brand owner confirming the genuineness of the product, its markings, and the authority to use the brand name.Notification No. CER (18)/99-CLB dated 07-03-1988 · Textile (Development & Regulation) Order, 2001 · General Note 11 of ITC (HS) Import Policy
- 2Ensure the PSIC also certifies the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes. Testing for azo dyes is exempted only for imports originating from EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom; all other origins must provide a conforming test result.General Note 10 of ITC (HS) Import Policy · DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023
- 3If the consignment originates from or is routed through Bangladesh, verify applicability of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025: Para 19 of the General Notes introduces port restrictions for imports of certain goods from Bangladesh to India. Confirm whether the goods fall under the exempted categories listed in Para 2 and Para 3 before filing the bill of entry.DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025 · General Note Para 19 of ITC (HS) 2022
The most common error on this tariff line is presenting a PSIC that covers only azo-dye absence while omitting the separate fibre-composition certification and brand-owner authenticity certificate required under General Note 11. All three documents — composition PSIC, certificate of origin, and brand-owner certificate — must accompany the consignment; a customs officer who identifies any one as missing may detain the consignment and impose demurrage pending rectification, and a composition or labelling discrepancy may constitute a mis-declaration under the Essential Commodities Act, 1955.
