HCOS3525 - Tied Oils: Waste Tied Oil: recording of transactions and procedures
Decide whether the substance is a waste tied oil or a waste product. This must be ascertained with the trader, taking into account the components ie what the oil has been mixed with, what effect this has on the oil, what the end product is, and whether or not it can still be used as an oil.
The following scenarios demonstrate how the oil travels within the scheme and how each transaction should be recorded on the HO34.
