2
Ensure the PSIC from the accredited laboratory or a valid test report from a Textile Committee or CSRTI laboratory certifies 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 composition PSIC remains mandatory for all origins.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is presenting only the azo-dye PSIC and overlooking the separate composition-certification and brand-authenticity requirements specific to woollen textiles under General Note 11. The azo-dye exemption for approved-country origins does not discharge the obligation to furnish a composition-certifying PSIC, a Certificate of Origin, and a brand-owner certificate; consignments arriving without all three documents face detention and demurrage at the port of entry pending regularisation.
