A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye PSIC exemption applies to all origins. The exemption covers nine named countries only; garments from Bangladesh, China, or any unlisted origin require a PSIC from an accredited laboratory, and a missing or non-accredited test report will result in consignment detention at the port of import. Separately, Bangladesh-origin goods now carry a port-restriction overlay under Para 19 that operates independently of the azo-dye testing regime.
