Compliance steps

1
Obtain a valid petroleum import licence from the Chief Controller of Explosives, Petroleum and Explosive Safety Organisation, Nagpur, covering the petroleum class applicable to jute batching oil. The licence must be current and presented at the bill-of-entry stage; import, transport, and storage without this licence constitute a Petroleum Rules, 2002 violation.

2
Route the consignment exclusively through a port or place approved by the Ministry of Shipping, in consultation with the Chief Controller, and declared as a customs port by the Commissioner of Customs. Diversion to an unapproved port renders the consignment liable to seizure under the Petroleum Rules, 2002.

3
Verify that all containers used for storing the petroleum product conform to the specifications prescribed under Rules 4, 5 and 6 of the Petroleum Rules, 2002. Non-conforming containers are grounds for detention and refusal of out-of-charge by the proper officer.

A word of counsel

Jute batching oil is a petroleum product liable to misdeclaration as low aromatic white spirit, hydrocarbon solvents, or industrial mixture composition plus (IMPS) — a pattern flagged in DRI Alert Circular 02/2020-CI dated 23-04-2020. Customs officers are directed to scrutinise such declarations closely; a misdeclared description at the bill of entry attracts confiscation and monetary penalty independent of the PESO licensing position, and the licensing condition for each petroleum class must be matched to the actual product description on the commercial invoice.
