Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country certifying the exact fibre composition of the woollen textile or blend. Also secure a certificate of origin and a certificate from the brand owner confirming the genuineness of the product, its markings, and authority to use the brand name — all three are mandatory at the bill of entry.

  2. 2
    Ensure the PSIC from an accredited laboratory or valid test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory certifies the absence of prohibited azo dyes. Imports from EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing only; all other origins must provide the azo-dye test report.

  3. 3
    If the consignment originates from Bangladesh, verify applicability of port restrictions under Para 1 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025. Confirm whether the goods fall within the exempted categories under Paras 2 and 3 of that notification before nominating the port of entry.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is arriving at the port with a PSIC covering only azo-dye testing while omitting the separate fibre-composition certification and the brand-owner authenticity certificate required under General Note 11. These are three distinct documents from three distinct sources; the absence of any one triggers detention and potential refusal of out-of-charge. Importers sourcing from Bangladesh should additionally pre-confirm port eligibility under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 before vessel departure, as a port not listed in Para 1 cannot be substituted post-sailing.
