HCOTEG122240 - Marking: checks: oil which has been under-marked?

Oil which has been under-marked

It is important here to distinguish between slight under-marking which may lead us to ensure the traders’ controls are sufficiently tight and more serious under-marking where duty assessment or other immediate action is required)

We are concerned about under-marking because:

• we want there to be sufficient marker for detection purposes
• it could lead us to believe that the oil has been mixed with unmarked oil
• it will always indicate poor controls by the trader that are contrary to the terms and conditions of their marking approval
