KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 24\u00a0 — The National Audit Department today disclosed that alcohol import duty totaling RM50.46 million has not been collected by the Royal Malaysian Customs Department (RMCD) as they did not comply with the exemption approval set at 99.5 percent purity level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The import duty involved\u00a010 alcohol import transactions used as raw material for the production of\u00a0rebaudioside A and NSF01 by a company for\u00a02017 to 2019 (until July) with a trade value\u00a0of\u00a0RM3.14 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Further review of\u00a0Customs Form No. 1 found that the product description that was declared was\u00a0alcohol\u00a0at purity level other than 99.5 percent and not Undenatured Ethyl, 99.5 percent Purity Level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Hence, the exemption given was invalid because the exemption approval is specifically for Undenatured Ethyl, 99.5% Purity Level description, causing non-collection of the import duty,” said the department in the Auditor-General’s Report 2019 Series 1 issued today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Audit Department has proposed for the RMCD to collect back immediately the import duty amounting to RM50.46 million which was not collected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
