Can LVG be imported via land or sea?
An OVR Vendor may be granted approval to collect GST on LVG imported via sea and land (referred to as the “Approved OVR Vendor”) on a case-by-case basis.
If the relevant GST information was provided by an Approved OVR Vendor on the supporting documents as evidence that GST has been charged, import GST will not be applicable and the Transporter may obtain an In-Non-Payment (Approved Premises/Schemes) permit to account for the importation of the LVG via land or sea.
If the relevant GST information is not available, the Transporter is required to obtain a payment permit to account for the importation and GST payment for the goods via land or sea. Transporters should approach the OVR Vendor should you have questions.
