HSN 6204 31 10 (Khadi) is subject to the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) 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. Consignments must be accompanied by a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (PSIC) certifying wool-blend composition, a Certificate of Origin, and a brand-owner certificate of genuineness under General Note 11 of the ITC (HS) policy.
- Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from accredited laboratory
- Certificate of Origin from exporter
- Brand-owner genuineness certificate from brand owner
- 1Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country certifying the fibre composition of the woollen textile or blend. Additionally, secure a Certificate of Origin and a certificate from the brand owner confirming the genuineness of the product, markings, and authority to use the brand name before filing the bill of entry.General Note 11 of ITC (HS) Import Policy · Notification No. CER (18)/99-CLB dated 07-03-1988 · Textile (Development & Regulation) Order, 2001
- 2Obtain a PSIC from an accredited laboratory or a valid test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory certifying the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes. This requirement applies to all exporting countries except EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom, which are exempt from azo-dye testing only.General Note 10 of ITC (HS) Import Policy · DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023
- 3Check applicability of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025, which introduces Para 19 to the General Notes regulating imports of certain goods from Bangladesh to India with port restrictions as stated in Para 1; verify whether the consignment qualifies under the exempted-goods carve-outs in Para 2 and Para 3.DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025 · General Notes Para 19, ITC (HS) 2022
The most common error on this tariff line is presenting only the azo-dye PSIC and overlooking the separate composition-certification and brand-owner genuineness requirements under General Note 11. The two PSIC obligations are independent — one certifies fibre composition and blend for woolens, the other certifies absence of hazardous dyes — and a bill of entry supported by only one of them will be held at the customs station pending production of the missing documents, attracting detention and demurrage.
