Computer printouts admissible as documents when produced during regular use and meeting statutory accuracy conditions. The Customs Act deems microfilms, facsimile copies and computer print outs to be documents admissible without original production if statutory conditions are met. Computer printouts qualify where produced during regular use by the person in lawful control, with relevant information regularly supplied, the computer operating properly in the material period (or malfunctions not affecting accuracy), and the printout reproducing or deriving from supplied information. Multiple machines used for the same functions are treated as a single computer, and a responsible-official certificate identifying production and device particulars is admissible evidence.
