Compliance steps

1
Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (PSIC) from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country certifying the composition of the woollen or blended textile. The PSIC must also confirm absence of prohibited azo dyes; imports from EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing only.

2
Accompany the consignment with a Certificate of Origin and a certificate from the brand owner certifying the genuineness of the product, its markings, and the authority to use the brand name. These documents are required under General Note 11 for all woollen textiles and blended textiles imported under this tariff line.

3
For consignments originating in or exported from Bangladesh, verify the port-of-import restrictions introduced under Para 19 of the General Notes per DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025. Confirm whether the goods fall under the exempted categories in Paras 2 and 3 of that notification before routing the shipment.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that a generic textile PSIC for azo-dye absence satisfies all documentation requirements. For woollen and blended textiles under General Note 11, a separate PSIC certifying fibre composition is additionally required alongside the brand-owner genuineness certificate — a document importers routinely omit when sourcing from third-party distributors rather than directly from brand owners. Failure to produce the brand-owner certificate at the bill of entry exposes the consignment to detention and potential confiscation for non-compliance with the Textile (Development & Regulation) Order, 2001.
