A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye PSIC exemption applies universally when the supplier is located in a non-listed country. Only the nine named origins are exempt from azo-dye testing; all other exporting countries must furnish a valid PSIC or accredited-lab test report regardless of the supplier's assurances. A consignment arriving without the requisite certificate is liable to detention at the port of import pending documentary compliance.
