Technology serving a unique asset: the ADM tax warehouse

P.S.P. Passerini Special Products S.r.l. has operated since 1997 in Parona, in the province of Pavia, as a production and blending facility and, at the same time, as an ADM authorised tax warehouse for energy and petrochemical products. Our technical capability is not an isolated service: it revolves around this unique asset, the tax warehouse, under a single point of contact responsible for the entire supply chain, from defining the formula through to customs and excise obligations.

The benefit for the professional operator is tangible: research, blending, laboratory and ADM document management coexist on the same site, with no need to coordinate multiple suppliers. The ISO 9001 certified quality management system covers production, blending and laboratory control, so that every step meets the same standard.

Research and development: from formula to finished product

We develop high performance formulations for the various markets we serve: energy, petrochemicals, additivation and motorsport. We combine application experience, materials knowledge and dosing systems to turn the customer's technical objectives into a repeatable industrial product.

Racing fuels: proof of our formulation capability

Racing fuels (methanol based blends, nitromethane and dedicated components) are one of our most demanding specialisations and tangible proof of our formulation capability. The same blending and control precision, validated on racing fuels, applies to every product family we handle in the warehouse: special and additivated gasolines, diesel fuels, HVO, biodiesel/FAME, solvents and hydrocarbons, lubricants and additive packages.

B2B disclaimer: racing fuels and products containing methanol or nitromethane are reserved exclusively for professional operators. Some components fall under the European regulation on precursors (Reg. UE 2019/1148) and cannot be sold to private individuals.

PSP brand and third-party storage: two distinct responsibilities

PSP branded products come from our own production. When, instead, we hold third-party goods under a third-party storage arrangement, ownership of and responsibility for the product remain with the principal: in that case our role is that of authorised warehouse keeper and technical and fiscal partner, not manufacturer.

Laboratory and quality control on every batch

The in-house laboratory verifies the characteristics of every batch produced or blended and issues the relevant certificate of analysis. This is how we guarantee quality consistency over time and documentary traceability compliant with ADM obligations, from the arrival of the raw material through to the finished product.

Quality control does not stop at the technical data sheet: the certificate of analysis for every batch is our tangible evidence, integrated into the document management of the tax warehouse, so that every movement is consistent across laboratory data, fiscal register and accompanying documentation.

Technology and duty suspension: why blending and excise coexist

Operating within an ADM authorised tax warehouse means being able to formulate, analyse and move energy products under excise duty suspension: the duty does not fall on the product until release for consumption. For the operator this translates into a direct financial benefit, because it does not tie up capital in duties until the moment the product actually enters the market.

As an ADM authorised tax warehouse we are entitled to manage telematic EMCS circulation with electronic e-AD and e-DAS documents, both for the release for consumption of Union products under duty suspension (e-AD/EMCS) for goods arriving from the European Union and, for products coming from non-EU countries, for full customs clearance, which includes customs procedures, duties and the settlement of excise. In both cases the documentation is managed in compliance with ADM obligations and traced throughout the entire supply chain. For operational detail: how the ADM authorised third-party tax warehouse and duty suspension work.

Who we work for

We make our technology available to operators who move energy products under duty suspension, offering everyone the same technical foundation: production, blending and the fiscal coverage of the ADM authorised warehouse. On this foundation our counterparts are defined: motorsport teams and tuners, importers and traders, secondary warehouse keepers both Italian and foreign (EU and non-EU), energy companies and brands looking for a private label partner.

Frequently asked questions about blending and the ADM tax warehouse

What is the blending of energy products in a tax warehouse?

It is the blending of fuels, biofuels and additives within an ADM authorised tax warehouse, under excise duty suspension. PSP carries it out in Parona (Pavia) with controlled dosing and an in-house laboratory on every batch.

Does PSP issue a certificate of analysis for every batch?

Yes. The in-house laboratory verifies the characteristics of every batch produced or blended and issues the relevant certificate of analysis, guaranteeing quality consistency and documentary traceability compliant with ADM obligations.

What is the difference between EU release for consumption and non-EU customs clearance?

For Union products we speak of release for consumption under duty suspension via e-AD/EMCS. For non-EU products full customs clearance is required, with customs procedures, duties and the settlement of excise.

Does PSP sell methanol or nitromethane racing fuels to private individuals?

No. They are products reserved for professional operators. Some components fall under the European regulation on precursors (Reg. UE 2019/1148) and cannot be sold to private individuals.
