2
Where the consignment originates from Bangladesh, verify compliance with the port restrictions and conditions introduced under Para 19 of the General Notes by DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025. Confirm whether the goods fall within the exempted categories listed in Para 2 and Para 3 of that notification before routing the shipment.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is assuming that the azo-dye testing exemption for listed countries extends to all PSIC requirements — it does not; the exemption covers azo-dye testing only, and other parameters of the Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate remain mandatory regardless of origin. For Bangladesh-origin consignments, failure to confirm port-restriction compliance under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 before vessel departure risks detention or re-export at the Indian port of entry.
