Compliance steps

1
Determine whether the consignment originates from Bangladesh. If so, confirm applicability of Para 19 of the General Notes to ITC (HS) 2022 introduced by DGFT Notification 7/2025-26, and ensure the consignment is routed only through a port permitted under Para 1 of that notification.

2
If the consignment qualifies for an exemption, confirm it falls within the categories listed in Para 2 or Para 3 of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 and document the exemption basis on the bill of entry. Consignments routed through a non-permitted port without a valid exemption are liable to detention and re-export.

A word of counsel

The port-restriction regime under Para 19 is origin-specific and conditional: it applies only to Bangladesh-origin goods and only where no exemption under Para 2 or Para 3 is available. Importers shipping from other origins or through multi-country transit should verify the country of origin determination before assuming the restriction is inapplicable — a mis-declared origin that causes routing through a restricted port exposes the consignment to seizure and the importer to DGFT enforcement.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9406 10 30 require BIS certification?

No, prefabricated wooden silos for storing ensilage 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 Bangladesh-origin port restriction under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26.

Does the Bangladesh port restriction under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 apply to all importers of HSN 9406 10 30?

Only to consignments originating from Bangladesh; the restriction is not origin-neutral. Importers should also check Paras 2 and 3 of the notification for exempted goods categories that may remove the port-routing requirement.

The consignment is liable to detention at the port of import and may be directed for re-export; DGFT enforcement for breach of the ITC (HS) import policy condition may also follow.
