A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is assuming that the azo-dye testing exemption for listed countries eliminates the Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate requirement entirely — it does not. The PSIC covering composition and other textile parameters remains mandatory regardless of origin; only the specific azo-dye component of testing is waived for the nine listed countries. Importers sourcing from Bangladesh face the additional obligation of confirming port eligibility under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 before vessel departure, as a post-shipment correction is not available once a restricted-port routing is selected.
