A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that the country-of-origin exemption from azo-dye testing dispenses with the PSIC requirement entirely. The exemption covers only the azo-dye testing component; a PSIC from an accredited laboratory or a valid TC/CSRTI test report covering all other prohibited hazardous dyes and composition parameters is still required at the bill of entry for all origins, including the nine exempt countries.
