Origin documentation cooperation rules require exporters and importers to retain records, submit them on request, and notify customs of changes.

Exporters and importers claiming preferential treatment under the India-EFTA trade agreement must cooperate with customs authorities, retain proof of origin and supporting documents for five years or longer if required by domestic law, and produce them on request. Exporters are subject to inspection and verification measures and must promptly notify the importer and competent authorities of any incorrect information or change affecting originating status. Importers who seek or receive preferential tariff treatment must likewise retain and submit documents on request and immediately notify customs of any such change.
