Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (PSIC) from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country certifying the fibre composition of the woollen textile or blend, a Certificate of Origin, and a certificate from the brand owner confirming product genuineness and authority to use the brand name. All three documents must accompany the consignment at the bill of entry stage under General Note 11 of the ITC (HS) import policy.

  2. 2
    Obtain a separate PSIC or valid test report from a Textile Committee (TC) or CSRTI laboratory certifying the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes. Testing for azo-dye presence is exempted only for imports originating from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom; all other origins require a positive test certification.

  3. 3
    If the consignment originates from or transits through Bangladesh, verify applicability of the port restrictions introduced under Para 19 of the General Notes via DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025. Check whether the goods qualify under the exemptions in Para 2 and Para 3 of that notification before selecting the port of import.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is presenting a single PSIC that addresses only azo-dye absence and treating it as satisfying all PSIC requirements. Woollen textile imports require two distinct PSIC obligations: one certifying fibre composition under General Note 11 (along with the brand-owner certificate and Certificate of Origin), and a separate azo-dye certification under General Note 10. A consignment lacking either certificate, or bearing a certificate from a non-accredited laboratory, is liable to detention and demurrage at the port of import.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 6204 41 90 require BIS certification?
No, woven women's and girls' garments of wool or fine animal hair are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade under the Textile (Development & Regulation) Order, 2001 and ITC (HS) General Notes 10 and 11.
Is a brand-owner certificate always required, or only for branded goods?
General Note 11 of the ITC (HS) import policy requires a certificate from the brand owner certifying product genuineness and authority to use brand names; this requirement applies where brand markings appear on the goods and is not limited to luxury or registered brands.
How do the Bangladesh port restrictions under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 affect this tariff line?
Para 19 of the General Notes, introduced by DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025, restricts import of certain goods from Bangladesh to specified ports; importers must check whether this tariff line falls outside the Para 2 and Para 3 exemptions before nominating a port of entry.
