2
Verify the country of origin before shipment: imports from the EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing only. Consignments from all other origins must carry the PSIC or TC/CSRTI test report without exception.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is assuming that the azo-dye exemption for listed countries covers all PSIC requirements. The exemption is limited to azo-dye testing only; other composition and hazardous-substance parameters in the PSIC mandate remain applicable even for exempt-origin shipments. Presenting a certificate that omits non-azo parameters for a non-exempt origin results in consignment detention at the port of import pending a compliant test report.
