2
For consignments originating from Bangladesh, confirm compliance with the port restrictions introduced under Paragraph 19 of the General Notes per DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025. Verify at the bill-of-entry stage whether the specific goods qualify under the exempted categories in Paragraphs 2 and 3 before routing.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the azo-dye testing exemption as a blanket clearance for all documentation requirements: even where the origin country qualifies for the exemption, the PSIC for fabric composition and other parameters remains mandatory. Separately, importers sourcing from Bangladesh should not assume the pre-existing trade lane remains unaffected — Paragraph 19 of the General Notes, operative from 17 May 2025, introduces port restrictions that must be verified against the specific goods before booking freight.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6217 10 90 require BIS certification?

No, made-up clothing accessories under this residual tariff line are not subject to any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement under General Note 10 and Bangladesh-origin port restrictions under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26.

Which countries are exempt from azo-dye testing for this tariff line?

Only imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom are exempt from testing for prohibited azo dyes; the PSIC for other parameters remains required even for these origins per General Note 10 and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023.

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

The restrictions apply broadly to goods covered by Paragraph 19 of the General Notes, but Paragraphs 2 and 3 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 carve out specific exempted goods — importers must check whether their particular accessories fall within those exemptions before selecting the port of entry.
