1
Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (PSIC) 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. 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.

2
Where the consignment originates from Bangladesh, verify applicability of the port restrictions introduced under Para 19 of the General Notes of the ITC (HS) 2022. Consult the exempted-goods lists in Para 2 and Para 3 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 before nominating a port of entry.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that the azo-dye exemption for listed countries extends to the PSIC requirement entirely. The exemption covers only the azo-dye testing component; all other hazardous-dye parameters under General Note 10 remain mandatory regardless of origin. For Bangladesh-origin consignments, failure to check the Para 2 and Para 3 exemption lists before routing will result in port detention under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6207 19 10 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers men's or boys' synthetic-fibre nightwear and underwear.

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 testing only; PSIC for other hazardous-dye parameters under General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy remains required per DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023.

Do the Bangladesh port restrictions under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 apply to all synthetic-fibre apparel from Bangladesh?

Not necessarily; Para 2 and Para 3 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 list exempted goods, and importers must verify whether HSN 6207 19 10 falls within those exemptions before nominating a port of import.
