Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (PSIC) from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or a valid test report from a Textile Committee (TC) or CSRTI laboratory, certifying 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 other parameters remains required for all origins.

2
For Bangladesh-origin consignments, verify compliance with para 19 of the General Notes introduced by DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025, which imposes port restrictions on certain goods imported from Bangladesh. Confirm whether the consignment falls within the exempted goods described in paras 2 and 3 before routing.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye testing exemption for listed countries (EU, UK, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, Serbia, Poland, Denmark) extends to all PSIC requirements — it does not; only the azo-dye component of the PSIC is waived for those origins, and a missing or incomplete test report still exposes the consignment to detention. Separately, importers sourcing from Bangladesh should confirm port eligibility under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 before booking shipment, as routing to a non-permitted port attracts consignment detention and re-export.
