A word of counsel

The country-of-origin exemption from azo-dye testing is frequently misapplied: the exemption covers only the nine listed countries and does not extend to goods transshipped through those countries if the origin is elsewhere. Importers sourcing through intermediary traders in exempt jurisdictions must verify that the declared country of origin matches the manufacturing location; a mismatch discovered at the port of import results in detention and potential confiscation of the consignment.

Which countries are exempt from the azo-dye PSIC requirement for this HSN?

Imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom only are exempt from azo-dye testing, per General Note 10 of the ITC (HS) policy and DGFT Public Notice 14/2023 dated 14-06-2023.
