Report suspected counterfeit, altered or misleading petroleum-industry documentation securely. False documents can undermine supplier verification, licensing, product provenance, delivery controls and lawful enforcement.
Documents that may raise concern
Examples can include petroleum licences, certificates, invoices, delivery notes, storage or supply documents, laboratory reports, company records or other documents that appear to have been fabricated, altered or used to create a false impression.
What to include in a report
- A copy of the document if you lawfully possess it.
- Where and when you received or viewed it.
- Who presented or relied on it.
- Any independently verified information that conflicts with the document.
- Related transaction, delivery, supplier or licence details.
Preserve the original
Do not edit, annotate or recreate the source file before preserving an original copy. Where possible, retain the original email, file metadata or physical document and record its provenance.

Report facts, not accusations
A formatting error or inconsistency does not automatically prove that a document is counterfeit. Explain the discrepancy and provide the underlying evidence so it can be assessed objectively.
