A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye testing exemption covers all major supplying nations. The exemption is a closed, country-specific list — EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom — and imports from any country outside that list, including China, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka, require a PSIC or valid test report. Presenting a fabric test report that covers only colour fastness or composition but omits prohibited azo-dye parameters will not satisfy General Note 10 and will result in consignment detention at the port of import.
