Confirm whether the goods fall under the exempted categories in paras 2 and 3 before routing the shipment.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is assuming that a country-of-origin exemption from azo-dye testing also dispenses with the PSIC requirement altogether. The exemption applies only to the azo-dye test component; a PSIC or valid Textile Committee test report covering other composition and hazardous-substance parameters remains mandatory regardless of origin. Failure to upload the requisite test documentation at the bill-of-entry stage results in consignment detention pending PSIC verification.
