Verification of certificates of origin: importing customs may seek substantiation and may suspend preferential treatment pending verification.
Importing customs may, upon reasonable doubt about a certificate of origin's authenticity or data veracity, initiate verification under the rules and must communicate clear, concrete reasons to the issuing authority of the exporting Party. Verification can include requests for government registers and documents and consultations by a designated customs office. While national legislation remains applicable, importing customs may deny preferential tariff treatment or require a guarantee to protect fiscal interests during completion of importation operations, subject to domestic legal limits and the procedures set out in the rules.
