A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye testing exemption extends to all origins — it applies only to the nine listed countries, and consignments from any other origin without a valid PSIC or test report will be detained at the port of entry pending documentary compliance. Separately, importers sourcing from Bangladesh must check both the port-restriction list and the exemption carve-outs under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 before booking the shipment; a consignment arriving at a non-notified port cannot be rerouted after departure without attracting a fresh policy breach.
