The Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) yesterday announced that as one of the measures to protect the State’s revenue, all importers of steel and steel products will now be required to submit Mill Test certificates from the manufacturer of the product along with their customs declarations.
A GRA statement said that a recent review on the classification declared by importers on steel and steel products imported into Guyana, recognised that the Harmonised System (HS) classification cannot be correctly determined without the Mill Test Certificate. The GRA said that the Mill Test certificate shows the proportion of the elements in the steel imported, thus the need for the certificate to accompany each shipment of steel. This is in accordance with the provisions of Section 233 (1) of the Customs Act, Chapter 82:01.
