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. Imports from EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing only; the PSIC for other parameters remains required.

2
For consignments originating from or routed through Bangladesh, confirm compliance with the port restrictions and conditions introduced under Para 19 of the General Notes of the ITC (HS) 2022. Review the exempted-goods categories listed in Paras 2 and 3 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 to determine whether the specific consignment qualifies for an exemption.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye country exemption covers the entire PSIC requirement. The exemption applies only to testing for azo-dye presence; the PSIC itself — covering composition, labelling, and other textile-safety parameters — remains mandatory regardless of the country of export. Submitting only an azo-dye clearance certificate from an exempt-country supplier without a full PSIC will result in consignment detention pending rectification.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6204 69 11 require BIS certification?

No, woven women's and girls' garments of other textile materials are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, principally through the General Note 10 Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement covering prohibited hazardous dyes.

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

The EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye presence testing only, per General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023; the PSIC covering other parameters remains mandatory for all origins.

Do the Bangladesh port restrictions under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 apply to all consignments of this HSN?

The restrictions under Para 19 of the General Notes apply to imports from Bangladesh specifically; consignments qualifying under the exempted-goods categories in Paras 2 and 3 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025 are not subject to the port limitations.
