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.

2
For consignments originating from Bangladesh, verify compliance with DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025, which introduces Para 19 in the General Notes regulating import policy under ITC (HS) 2022 and imposes port restrictions. Confirm that the port of import is one of those permitted under Para 1, and determine whether the consignment qualifies for any exemption under Para 2 or Para 3 before filing the bill of entry.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that azo-dye test exemptions for approved origins also waive the broader PSIC requirement for composition and other parameters. The exemption under General Note 10 and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 is narrow — it covers azo-dye testing only for the listed nine origins; all remaining PSIC parameters remain mandatory regardless of origin, and a PSIC absent at the bill-of-entry stage will result in consignment detention pending document rectification.
