A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that the azo-dye exemption for listed countries dispenses with the PSIC altogether. The exemption is limited to azo-dye testing; a PSIC from an accredited laboratory covering composition and hazardous-substance parameters is still required at the bill of entry for all origins. A consignment arriving without the PSIC faces detention and demurrage regardless of the country of export.
