A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye testing exemption applies broadly: it is origin-specific and covers nine named countries only. Importers sourcing dyed synthetic-filament fabrics from any country outside that list — including transit shipments re-exported through an exempt country — must present a compliant PSIC or TC/CSRTI test report, failing which the consignment is liable to detention pending re-testing at an approved Indian laboratory at the importer's cost.
