We have various requirements to support the effective control of
oils
An oils trader may seek to ‘make entry’ of their
production premises, seek authorisation as a warehousekeeper, seek
approval for their other duty-suspended installations and premises,
or seek authorisation to become a registered remote marker and
approval for their remote marking premises or other places where
oil is marked.
Entry of premises refers to the registration or
written ‘entry’ of Motor and Heating Fuel (Oils)
producers premises in our records.
Whilst we
authorise named individuals or legal entities to
operate as producers, warehouse- keepers or as remote markers, we
approve their premises, plant or equipment at the
places they operate from.
Oils traders may also have to register in order to receive
and to distribute ‘controlled’ oil, which has been
fully or partially relived of duty or ‘rebated’ or to
put this to an eligible use.
N.B. Entry of premises is distinct from our powers of entry,
which allow us to go physically into these premises to inspect
them, or to the making of a customs ‘import entry’ or
declaration.
For details of the range of authorisations and approvals,
oils traders may require in order to operate their premises and
processes, see
HCOTEG41000.
