Other made-up textile articles

HSN Chapter 63 covers other made-up textile articles — finished items assembled from woven, knitted or non-woven fabric — including bed linen, table linen, toilet and kitchen linen, curtains, sacks and bags for packing of goods, and made-up articles of cotton, silk, man-made fibres and other textile materials. Within this chapter the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has notified 22 tariff lines spanning headings 6302, 6304, 6305 and 6307, covering bed linen and toilet linen of cotton, silk, man-made fibres and handloom origin, sacks of jute and PP woven fabric, and miscellaneous made-up articles.

The dominant controlling standard is IS 17630, which sets dye-fastness, dimensional-stability and skin-safety parameters for finished home textiles, with IS 1943, IS 2566, IS 12650, IS 15041, IS 15138, IS 16089, IS 16186, IS 16372, IS 17349 and IS 17354 governing specific product classes including jute sacking, PP woven sacks and protective textiles. All 22 codes fall under the ISI Mark Scheme (Scheme-I of Schedule-II of the BIS Conformity Assessment Regulations, 2018). Indian manufacturers must hold a CM/L licence; foreign manufacturers must obtain a Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS) licence through an Authorised Indian Representative (AIR).
