Importation Of Spirits Under Rebate

 

The Customs and Excise (Spirit Rebate) Regulations of 1982 provides that a rebate of Customs duties may be granted on spirits and methylated spirits specified in the Second schedule of the same regulations to an extend that is sufficient to reduce the duties to an effective rate set out in the regulations. The general conditions for the importation of the Spirits under rebate are that:

1.    The spirits or methylated spirits are obtained by an authorised user.

2.    The containers of any methylated spirits are clearly labelled and marked in such a manner as to indicate the type of methylated spirits contained therein.

 

Definition of an Authorised user

 a. Spirits other than methylated spirits

b. Industrial methylated spirits

c. Industrial Methylated Spirit R grade.

d. Industrial methylated spirits (1st quality) under rebate only for the purposes which the rebate of duty is granted by the regulations.

The person who intends to be registered as an authorised user of Rebated Spirits shall make an application to the Commissioner on Form EX 47 for authority to use such spirits

The reduced rates in respect to importation of Rebated spirits are set out in the Second schedule (section 4) for Rebate on Customs duties and the Third Schedule for Rebate of Excise duties.
