A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the azo-dye testing exemption extends to all compliance requirements for the listed countries. The PSIC exemption covers azo-dye testing only — the certificate for other composition and hazardous-substance parameters remains mandatory regardless of origin. For Bangladesh-origin consignments, the port-restriction overlay under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 is independent of the PSIC obligation and must be assessed separately before vessel departure.
