A word of counsel

The country-of-origin exemption from azo-dye testing is frequently misread as a blanket PSIC waiver. The exemption covers azo-dye testing only; other hazardous-dye parameters under General Note 10 remain applicable regardless of origin. An importer sourcing noil silk fabrics from an exempt country who presents no test report at all — on the assumption that the exemption removes all PSIC obligations — risks consignment detention at the port of entry.
