Practice of assessment of Petroleum products under Chapter 27-Review thereof

Petroleum product assessment practice revised: new PTR validity and testing conditions now dictate customs clearance procedures.

Representative sealed samples of consignments under CTH 27101951-27101990 will be drawn and sent to DYCC for testing on first check, except where an acceptable test report dated after 01.01.2020 and not more than six months old exists and specified conditions are met. Valid PTRs (post-01.01.2020, six months old, covering identical goods, grade, specifications, COO and supplier) permit either final second-check assessment when both importer and supplier are manufacturers, or provisional second-check assessment with mandatory DYCC testing when the supplier is not a manufacturer. All other imports require first check assessment with DYCC testing. Importers must upload supporting documentation and PTR details on E-Sanchit; PTRs dated before 01.01.2020 will not be accepted for future consignments.
