2
If the consignment originates from a country other than EU member states, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, or the United Kingdom, ensure the PSIC specifically covers azo-dye testing. Imports from the listed countries are exempt from azo-dye testing only; the PSIC for other hazardous dyes remains mandatory regardless of origin.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye exemption for listed countries (EU, Australia, Japan, South Korea, United Kingdom, and others) extends to the entire PSIC requirement. The exemption is narrow — it covers azo-dye testing only; testing for all other categories of prohibited hazardous dyes under General Note 10 remains compulsory for every origin, including the listed countries. A PSIC that omits the non-azo hazardous-dye parameters will be treated as non-compliant at the bill of entry, triggering detention.
