For consignments originating from Bangladesh, verify applicability of para 19 of the General Notes as introduced by DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025, which imposes port restrictions on imports of certain goods from Bangladesh. Confirm whether the consignment falls under the exempted goods listed in paras 2 and 3 of that notification before filing the bill of entry.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye PSIC exemption applies universally because the supplier is located in a major textile-exporting country. The exemption is limited to nine named origins; consignments from all other countries — including China, Vietnam, Turkey, and Bangladesh — require the PSIC before the bill of entry is filed. A missing PSIC at the bill-of-entry stage results in consignment detention, and the Bangladesh port-restriction overlay under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 is a separate and independent compliance check.
