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, confirming the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes. Imports from EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing only; the PSIC for composition and other parameters remains required from all origins.

2
If the garments originate from Bangladesh, verify compliance with the port restrictions introduced under paragraph 19 of the General Notes to the ITC (HS) 2022 by DGFT Notification 7/2025-26. Consignments from Bangladesh not falling within the exempted categories listed in paragraphs 2 and 3 of that notification must be routed through the specified ports; non-compliant routing attracts detention and Restricted-import enforcement.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye testing exemption for listed countries covers the entire PSIC requirement. The exemption applies solely to azo-dye testing; a certificate addressing fabric composition, colourfastness, and any other General Note 10 parameters remains mandatory regardless of country of origin. Separately, importers sourcing from Bangladesh must confirm whether their specific garment category falls within the paragraph 2 or 3 exemptions before nominating a port of entry, as a post-departure port change will not cure a Restricted-import breach.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6210 20 90 require BIS certification?

No, garments made of fabrics of headings 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906 or 5907 fall outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, principally through the azo-dye PSIC requirement under General Note 10 and the Bangladesh port-restriction overlay under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26.

Which countries are exempt from azo-dye testing for this tariff line?

EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing only under General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy; the PSIC covering other mandatory parameters must still be furnished from all origins.

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

The port restrictions apply to imports from Bangladesh unless the specific garment falls within the exempted goods defined in paragraphs 2 and 3 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17 May 2025; the exemption status must be confirmed against the notification before shipment.
