A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this residual tariff line is applying only the azo-dye PSIC and overlooking the distinct wool-and-blends documentation cluster — composition certificate, Certificate of Origin, and brand-owner authenticity certificate — triggered whenever the fabric contains any woollen or blended content. Customs officers routinely detain consignments under General Note 11 where the PSIC covers dye testing but is silent on fibre composition; a single combined PSIC that addresses both azo-dye absence and fibre composition from an accredited laboratory resolves both obligations simultaneously.
