If the consignment originates from Bangladesh, verify applicability of the port restrictions introduced under para 19 of the General Notes by DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025. Check whether the goods qualify for exemption under paragraphs 2 or 3 of that notification before routing the shipment to a permitted port of entry.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye exemption for listed countries extends to all General Note 10 requirements — it covers only the testing for azo-dye presence; the PSIC requirement for composition and other prohibited substances remains in force for those origins. Separately, importers sourcing from Bangladesh must confirm whether their specific goods fall within an exemption category under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 before nominating a port; a consignment routed to a restricted port before that check will face detention and potential re-export.
