Compliance steps

1
Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or a valid test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory, certifying the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes. Testing for azo-dye presence is exempted only for imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom.

2
If the consignment originates from Bangladesh, verify compliance with DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025, which introduced Para 19 to the General Notes regulating imports from Bangladesh with specified port restrictions. Consignments from Bangladesh not meeting the port conditions set out in Para 1 of that notification are liable to detention; exemptions are set out in Paras 2 and 3.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye PSIC exemption applies universally when importing from a non-listed country. The exemption is strictly limited to the nine named origins; consignments from all other countries arriving without a valid PSIC or Textile Committee test report are detained at the port of import pending submission of the missing certificate, with demurrage and ground rent accruing from the date of arrival. The Bangladesh port-restriction overlay in DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 is an independent compliance obligation and must be verified separately from the dye-testing requirement.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6204 19 11 require BIS certification?

No, sequinned or embroidered woven garments of other textile materials are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, requiring a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate for hazardous-dye compliance under General Note 10.

Which countries are exempt from azo-dye testing for this tariff line?

Only the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing per DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023; PSIC for other parameters remains required regardless of origin.

Do the Bangladesh port restrictions under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 apply to all garments from Bangladesh?

Not universally — Paras 2 and 3 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025 set out specific exempted goods and conditions; importers must review those paragraphs to determine whether their consignment qualifies for exemption from the Para 1 port restrictions.
