A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye exemption for listed countries eliminates the PSIC requirement entirely. The exemption is narrow — it covers azo-dye testing only, not the full suite of prohibited hazardous dyes under General Note 10; a consignment arriving without a PSIC or valid test report from TC or CSRTI will be detained at the port of import regardless of the country of origin. Importers sourcing from Bangladesh must additionally map their specific article against the para 19 port-restriction list before booking freight.
