Compliance steps

1
Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (PSIC) from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country certifying the fibre composition of the woollen or blended textile. The consignment must also carry 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.

2
Procure a PSIC from an accredited laboratory or a valid test report from a Textile Committee (TC) or CSRTI laboratory certifying the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes. This requirement is waived only for imports originating from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom.

3
Check applicability of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025 regarding Para 19 of the General Notes, which introduces port restrictions on imports of certain goods from Bangladesh to India. If the consignment originates from Bangladesh, verify whether it falls within the exempted categories under Para 2 and Para 3 before nominating the port of import.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is presenting a PSIC that certifies azo-dye absence but omits fibre composition, or vice versa — each requirement stems from a separate General Note (10 and 11 respectively) and a single certificate rarely satisfies both. Additionally, the brand-owner certificate is a distinct third document; consignments carrying only the PSIC and Certificate of Origin without the brand genuineness certificate face detention pending production of the missing document, accruing demurrage and ground rent.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6204 41 20 require BIS certification?

No. Woven wool blazers are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is regulated under the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with mandatory PSIC, Certificate of Origin, and brand-owner certification under General Notes 10 and 11.

Is azo-dye testing waived for all imports of wool blazers from the United Kingdom?

Yes, but only for the azo-dye component of the PSIC requirement under General Note 10; the fibre-composition PSIC under General Note 11 and the brand-owner genuineness certificate remain required regardless of country of origin.

Do the Bangladesh port restrictions under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 apply to wool blazers?

Para 19 of the General Notes introduced by DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025 applies to certain goods imported from Bangladesh; importers must check whether HSN 6204 41 20 falls within the exempted categories in Para 2 and Para 3 before designating the port of import.
