https://www.taxtmi.com/circulars?id=7633 Import of waste oil is prohibited and the seven parameters previously prescribed apply only to waste oil, not to fuel oil, LSHS or LSWR. Customs must apply a staged testing regime for off spec fuel oils: initial screening for acidity (nil) and ash ( 0.1%); if screening fails, test heavy metals (allowable limits by IIP) and classify as waste oil if exceeded; if heavy metals are within limits, perform AOX analysis for organic halides and, if present, analyse for PCB. BIS IS 1593/82 and refinery specifications are reference standards. en-us Fri, 22 Dec 2000 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 16:56:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/circulars?id=7633 Import of waste oil is prohibited and the seven parameters previously prescribed apply only to waste oil, not to fuel oil, LSHS or LSWR.
