Re-testing of import samples: written requests allow a second laboratory test and require written laboratory designation and reasoned decisions. Opportunity for re-testing of imported goods is a trade facilitation measure: importers may request a second test in writing within ten days of receiving the first test result; Customs must promptly communicate test reports. If granted, the Additional/Joint Commissioner shall name in writing the laboratory for the re-test, using remnants or duplicate sealed samples in Customs custody; fresh sampling requires the importer's presence. The competent authority shall consider re-test results without prejudice to the first test, record written reasons when relying on either result, and may order a further re-test only when necessary and the consignment remains under Customs control.
