2
If the consignment originates from Bangladesh, verify applicability of the port restrictions introduced under paragraph 19 of the General Notes to the ITC (HS) 2022 policy. Review the exempted-goods categories at paragraphs 2 and 3 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 before routing the shipment to determine which ports of entry are permitted.

A word of counsel

The azo-dye PSIC exemption is country-of-origin specific — it applies to the nine listed countries only and does not extend to goods transshipped through or re-exported from those countries. A consignment originating in a non-exempt country but routed through, say, an EU hub will still require the PSIC at the Indian port of entry. For Bangladesh-origin garments, the port-restriction regime under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 now operates as a concurrent obligation independent of azo-dye compliance.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6210 50 00 require BIS certification?

No, women's and girls' garments under this tariff line 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, with a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement for azo-dye absence under General Note 10.

Is the Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate required for all countries of origin?

No. Testing for prohibited azo dyes is exempted for imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom only; all other origins must submit a PSIC from an accredited laboratory or a valid Textile Committee or CSRTI test report per DGFT Public Notice 14/2023.

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

Not universally — paragraphs 2 and 3 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 list exempted goods categories; importers must verify whether the specific garment falls within those exemptions and, if not, comply with the port restrictions stated in paragraph 1 of that notification.
