Test reports for identical imported goods, with the same grade, specifications, country of origin and supplier, are treated as valid for six months from issue, and Bills of Entry may be assessed finally on that basis without provisional assessment solely because a fresh report is unavailable. For imports where PTR applies under the cited documentation requirement, dock officers may draw representative samples near expiry at the importer's request, but final assessment must still proceed on the existing valid report. If a fresh report matches, it remains valid for another six months; if it shows variation, action under the Customs Act, 1962 may follow.
