Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country, or a valid test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory, certifying the absence of prohibited hazardous azo dyes. Imports from EU, Serbia, Poland, Denmark, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom are exempt from azo-dye testing only; the PSIC for other parameters remains required for all origins.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is conflating the PSIC azo-dye exemption for preferred-country origins with a blanket exemption from pre-shipment inspection. The exemption covers azo-dye testing only; a PSIC confirming composition, labelling, and absence of other prohibited dyes remains mandatory even for EU or other listed-country shipments. Separately, ensure the Jute Commissioner registration is in force at the time of bill-of-entry filing, not merely applied for — an application pending at the time of import does not substitute for the registration itself.
