A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is assuming that the azo-dye testing exemption for the nine listed countries extends to all textile testing requirements — it does not. The exemption covers azo-dye testing only; composition, construction, and any other parameters required by the PSIC regime remain mandatory regardless of origin. A PSIC that is silent on non-azo parameters will be treated as non-compliant at the bill of entry.
