DGFT CLEARANCE

HSN 6307 90 13 (Other made-up articles of man-made fibres) is subject to the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), which requires a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (PSIC) confirming the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes under General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy. Testing for azo dyes is exempted for imports originating from specified countries; all other origins must submit a PSIC from an accredited laboratory.

Compliance steps

1

This applies to all origins not listed in the azo-dye exemption.

2
If the consignment originates from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, or the United Kingdom, azo-dye testing is exempted; however, a PSIC covering other prohibited hazardous dyes and composition parameters remains required at the bill of entry.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that the country-of-origin azo-dye exemption waives the PSIC requirement entirely. The exemption covers azo-dye testing only; the broader obligation to certify the absence of other prohibited hazardous dyes under General Note 10 applies to all origins without exception, and a consignment presented without a valid PSIC or Textile Committee test report is liable to detention and ground rent at the port of import.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6307 90 13 require BIS certification?

No, other made-up articles of man-made fibres are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with a mandatory Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement under General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy.

Which countries are exempt from azo-dye testing under General Note 10?

Per DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023, azo-dye testing is exempted only for imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom; the PSIC for other prohibited hazardous dyes remains mandatory regardless of origin.

Can the importer substitute the PSIC with a test report obtained after arrival of the consignment?

No. The PSIC must be from an accredited laboratory in the exporting country or a valid Textile Committee or CSRTI test report obtained pre-shipment; a post-arrival test report does not satisfy the General Note 10 requirement and leaves the consignment exposed to detention.
