A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye testing exemption extends to all developed-country origins. The exemption covers precisely nine named countries; consignments from any origin not on that list — including countries with bilateral trade agreements — must be accompanied by a valid PSIC or Textile Committee test report, and absence of this document at the bill of entry results in consignment detention pending compliance. The Bangladesh-origin port restriction under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 is a separate, concurrent obligation that applies regardless of azo-dye testing status.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6210 30 30 require BIS certification?

No, garments made up of coated or impregnated fabrics are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement for azo-dye absence under General Note 10 and Bangladesh-origin port restrictions under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26.

Which countries are exempt from the azo-dye PSIC requirement for this tariff line?

The EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom only; all other exporting countries must furnish a PSIC from an accredited laboratory or a valid test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory per DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023.

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

The restrictions apply unless the goods fall within the exempted categories detailed in Paras 2 and 3 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26; importers must confirm exemption eligibility before routing the consignment, as non-compliant shipments are subject to port-level detention.
