A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the azo-dye exemption for listed countries as a blanket exemption from the Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement. The exemption covers azo-dye testing only; a PSIC confirming the absence of all other prohibited hazardous dyes remains mandatory regardless of origin. A consignment arriving without a valid PSIC or Textile Committee test report is liable to detention at port pending documentary rectification.
