2
If the consignment originates from Bangladesh, verify compliance with para 19 of the General Notes to the ITC (HS) 2022 as introduced by DGFT Notification 7/2025-26. Check whether the specific goods fall under the port-restriction provisions of para 1 or qualify for exemption under paras 2 and 3 before nominating the port of entry.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that a current PSIC covers all origin countries equally. The azo-dye testing exemption is confined to nine specified origins; consignments from any other country, including Bangladesh, require a laboratory-issued PSIC, and a missing or origin-ineligible certificate results in consignment detention and demurrage pending re-inspection. For Bangladesh-origin goods, the port-restriction overlay under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 is an independent requirement that must be resolved before routing the shipment.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6211 49 99 require BIS certification?

No, woven garments of other textile materials are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, principally through the General Note 10 azo-dye testing requirement and, where applicable, Bangladesh-origin port restrictions under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26.

Which countries are exempt from the azo-dye Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement?

Only imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing; all other origins, including Bangladesh, require a PSIC from an accredited laboratory per General Note 10 and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023.

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

Not necessarily — para 2 and para 3 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 list goods exempted from the port-restriction regime; importers must verify whether their specific goods qualify for exemption before nominating the port of entry.
