A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye PSIC exemption applies broadly because the exporting country is a close trading partner — the exemption covers only the nine named countries, and a consignment from any other origin without a valid PSIC is liable to detention at the port of import. For Bangladesh-origin shipments, the port-restriction overlay under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 is a separate and concurrent requirement; meeting the PSIC obligation does not satisfy the port-routing condition.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6204 13 90 require BIS certification?

No, woven women's and girls' garments of synthetic fibres are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, principally through the General Note 10 PSIC requirement and, where applicable, the Bangladesh-origin port restrictions under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26.

Which countries are exempt from the azo-dye testing requirement under General Note 10?

Only imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing; all other origins require a PSIC or a valid test report from the Textile Committee or CSRTI confirming absence of prohibited hazardous dyes.

What port restrictions apply to Bangladesh-origin consignments under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26?

Para 19 of the General Notes to ITC (HS) 2022, introduced by DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025, restricts imports from Bangladesh to specified ports listed in Para 1; exemptions for certain goods are set out in Paras 2 and 3 of the same notification and must be verified before filing the bill of entry.
