Compliance steps

1
Procure 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
If the consignment originates from 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. Confirm whether the goods fall within the exempted categories listed in Para 2 and Para 3 of that notification before nominating the port of entry.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye PSIC exemption covers the entire shipment when the consignment is only partially sourced from an exempt country. The exemption attaches to the origin of each article, not the invoice as a whole; mixed-origin consignments require PSIC coverage for the non-exempt portion. A missing or scope-deficient PSIC will cause the bill of entry to be held at the out-of-charge stage pending a compliant test report.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6208 92 90 require BIS certification?

No, woven women's and girls' apparel of man-made fibres falls outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import compliance is governed by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade under General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy, principally through the Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement for prohibited azo dyes.

Which laboratories can issue the azo-dye PSIC for this tariff line?

The PSIC must be issued by an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or a valid test report must be obtained from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory, as required under General Note 10 and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023.

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

The restrictions under Para 1 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 apply to imports from Bangladesh only; goods qualifying under the exempted categories in Para 2 and Para 3 are excluded, and the notification should be reviewed to confirm whether the specific article qualifies for an exemption before filing the bill of entry.
