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. Azo-dye testing 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 compliance with DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17 May 2025 — specifically para 19 of the General Notes to the ITC (HS) 2022, which introduces port restrictions on specified goods from Bangladesh. Confirm whether the goods fall within the exempted categories under para 2 and para 3 before selecting the port of import.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that a current supplier relationship with an EU or other exempt-origin vendor removes all PSIC obligations — in fact, only azo-dye testing is waived for those origins; the broader PSIC covering other composition and hazardous-substance parameters remains required for every consignment regardless of origin. For Bangladesh-origin shipments filed after 17 May 2025, failing to check the para 19 port-restriction list before vessel departure can result in consignment detention and demurrage at a non-permitted port.
