A Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate certifying fibre composition and a brand-owner authenticity certificate are mandatory accompanying documents, and azo-dye testing under General Note 10 applies to all non-exempt origin countries.

1. 1
   Obtain a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (PSIC) from an accredited laboratory of the exporting country certifying the fibre composition of the woollen textile or blend. Additionally, secure a Certificate of Origin and a certificate from the brand owner confirming the genuineness of the product, its markings, and the authority to use the brand name — all three must accompany the consignment at the bill of entry.
