Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country confirming the composition of the woollen textile or blend, and a certificate from the brand owner attesting to the genuineness of the product, markings, and authority to use the brand name. These documents must accompany the consignment and be available for customs verification at the bill of entry.

  2. 2
    Also obtain a PSIC from an accredited laboratory certifying the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes. Imports from EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing only; for all other origins the azo-dye PSIC is mandatory at the bill of entry.

  3. 3
    Check whether the consignment originates from Bangladesh; if so, confirm compliance with the port restrictions introduced under Para 19 of the General Notes via DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025 and verify whether any exemption under Para 2 or Para 3 of that notification applies before routing the shipment.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is presenting only the azo-dye PSIC and overlooking the separate composition-certification and brand-owner-genuineness requirements under General Note 11. Both certificates are independently mandatory — a consignment carrying the azo-dye test report but lacking a brand-owner certificate confirming authority to use brand markings will be detained at customs pending production of that document, attracting demurrage and ground rent for the delay.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 6217 90 30 require BIS certification?
No, parts of garments of wool are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) Restricted-import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade under General Note 11, read with the Textile (Development & Regulation) Order, 2001 and Notification No. CER(18)/99-CLB dated 7 March 1988.
Is a separate PSIC required for both textile composition and azo-dye testing, or does one certificate cover both?
Two separate certificates are required: one from an accredited laboratory certifying the wool or blend composition (under General Note 11), and one certifying the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes (under General Note 10). A single PSIC covering only one parameter does not satisfy both requirements.
Do the Bangladesh port restrictions under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 apply to all wool garment parts from Bangladesh?
The port restrictions under Para 19 of the General Notes apply broadly to goods originating from Bangladesh; however, Paras 2 and 3 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025 set out specific exempted goods and conditions, which must be verified before the shipment is routed to determine the applicable port.
