Bunker receipt (T1 and T2 bunkering)
The bunker receipt is a critical document in the bunkering process. It serves as evidence of the fact that the fuel mentioned on the bunker receipt has been supplied to a sea going vessel. As such it serves as evidence that the goods have left EU customs territory. The bunker receipt clears the duty suspension procedures that apply to the fuel before the bunker supply is made. Without a bunker receipt duties will become payable over the uncleared quantities.
?For each bunker supply a bunker receipt has to be issued (2 copies)
?Language: Dutch, English, German or
French
?No required format, list of minimal data
content provided by customs
?Bunker receipt must get a unique and
sequential number
?Bunker receipt must be signed by an
authorized crew member of the receiving sea going vessel
?One copy remains on board of the sea
going vessel, one copy is on board of the bunker barge until the BGD quantity
to which it belongs has been fully supplied to sea going vessels. It allowed to
replace the original bunker receipt on board of the bunker barge for a copy.
?The bunker receipts have to be kept in the records of the bunker
supplier for at least 7 years.
E-AD document (T2 bunkers)
?EU bunker fuel on board of the bunker
barge is covered by an e-AD document (equivalent of the Transit document for T1
bunkers).
?The loading terminals issued an e-AD via
EMCS to the bunker supplier
?This e-AD is immediately and fully
cleared and replaced by an e-AD issued by the bunker supplier to cover the T2
bunker fuel on board of its bunker barge.
?This e-AD is cleared by attaching bunker
receipts to it, similar as the clearance of the Transit document.
