A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye testing exemption covers all documentation requirements. The PSIC exemption applies only to azo-dye testing for the nine listed countries; the PSIC covering other composition or quality parameters may still be required, and the Bangladesh port-restriction overlay under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 is a separate, parallel compliance obligation that applies regardless of dye-testing exemption status.
