The tax warehouse as the root of the service

P.S.P. Passerini Special Products S.r.l., based in Parona (Pavia), has operated since 1997 as a production and blending plant and as an ADM authorised tax warehouse for energy and petrochemical products. Everything related to trading, import and customs clearance revolves around this asset: ownership of a tax warehouse authorised by the Italian Customs and Monopolies Agency (ADM).

This is the practical difference for a professional operator: you do not merely buy or import a product, you bring it into an already structured fiscal perimeter, where the goods can be stored and moved under excise duty suspension until the moment of release for consumption. This means you avoid tying up capital in taxes before you actually need to.

We operate with ISO 9001 procedures and documentary traceability compliant with ADM obligations, on both EU and non-EU flows.

Customs clearance: for non-EU goods only

Customs clearance applies to energy products of non-EU origin that need to enter the Italian market. It is the path that takes the goods from their foreign status to full commercial availability within the territory: customs clearance, payment of duties and management of the excise profile.

What we handle for you:

  • Import customs clearance and related customs formalities.
  • Payment of duties and classification of the product for excise purposes.
  • Intake into the tax warehouse, with storage under excise duty suspension and release for consumption on your own timing, with the correct fiscal documentation.

The advantage is managing a single documentary flow instead of three disconnected suppliers, reducing the breaking points between customs clearance, warehousing and excise.

EU goods: release for consumption under duty suspension (e-AD / EMCS)

For products of EU origin, customs clearance does not apply. The goods move between authorised operators under excise duty suspension through the EMCS system, with the e-AD electronic document, and the excise duty becomes chargeable only at release for consumption.

What we handle for you:

  • Receipt of EU products under duty suspension via e-AD on EMCS.
  • Movement between authorised warehouses with electronic documentation (e-AD, e-DAS).
  • Storage under excise duty suspension and scheduled release for consumption, with excise duty paid at the appropriate time.

In both cases, EU or non-EU, the logic is the same: you use our fiscal infrastructure as an entry and management platform, and you pay the duty when the product actually enters the market.

Trading and brokerage of petrochemical products

In addition to fiscal and customs management, we operate as a trader and commercial intermediary for raw materials and petrochemical products, across EU and non-EU supply chains. For the customer this means a single qualified source for a wide range of products, already classified from a fiscal and customs standpoint:

  • Energy products subject to excise duty: special and additised gasolines, diesel fuels, kerosene and jet fuel, HVO and biodiesel / FAME.
  • Raw materials and petrochemical products: methanol, bioethanol and ethyl alcohol for automotive use, solvents and hydrocarbons (toluene, cyclohexane, white spirit, acetone), vegetable and animal oils and fats (including castor oil), lubricants, additives and additive packages.
  • Racing fuels: methanol, nitromethane and dedicated blends.

Biofuels (HVO, biodiesel / FAME) are accompanied by the sustainability documentation of the certified supply chain of origin. For the full range, you can browse our range of energy and petrochemical products.

PSP-branded products and third-party goods in third-party tax warehousing

We always distinguish between two tracks. PSP-branded products are produced and blended by us, and we hold their ownership and responsibility. Third-party goods are managed under third-party tax warehousing: you remain the owner of the goods and retain commercial control, while we assume the obligations of the authorised warehouse keeper. Ownership and responsibility differ, and this is reflected in the contracts and in the documentary chain.

From formulation to customs, a single partner

The combination of a production plant and an authorised tax warehouse allows us to cover the entire chain: we can formulate and blend a product, or take in third-party goods, manage its fiscal status, handle its customs clearance or its receipt under duty suspension and release it for consumption. A single point of contact, from formulation to customs.

Who we serve: motorsport teams, importers and traders, secondary EU and non-EU warehouse keepers, energy companies and private label brands.

Frequently asked questions on trading and customs clearance

What is the difference between customs clearance and release for consumption of EU goods?

Customs clearance applies only to non-EU products and covers customs clearance, duties and excise classification. For EU goods, customs clearance does not apply: the product moves under excise duty suspension via e-AD on EMCS, and the excise duty is due at release for consumption.

What does it mean to store goods under excise duty suspension in a tax warehouse?

It means the product can be stored in the ADM authorised tax warehouse without the excise duty being chargeable yet. The duty is paid only at release for consumption, so you avoid tying up capital in taxes before the product actually enters the market.

Does PSP also handle goods owned by the customer?

Yes. In addition to PSP-branded products, which we produce, we manage third-party goods under third-party tax warehousing: the customer remains the owner of the product and PSP acts as the authorised warehouse keeper, with ownership and responsibility distinct from our own products.

Which energy and petrochemical products does PSP handle?

Special and additised gasolines, diesel fuels, HVO, biodiesel / FAME, kerosene and jet fuel, methanol, bioethanol, solvents and hydrocarbons, vegetable and animal oils and fats, lubricants, additives and racing fuels. Service reserved for professional operators.

Is methanol a biofuel?

No. Methanol is a special gasoline subject to full excise duty and does not fall among biofuels nor within the scope of RED III. It is also subject to the European regulation on precursors (Reg. UE 2019/1148) and cannot be sold to private individuals.
