Preferential tariff treatment under trade agreements depends on origin proof, importer diligence, and verification of country of origin criteria. Preferential rate of duty under a trade agreement requires the importer to declare that the goods are originating goods, keep sufficient origin-related information, furnish prescribed particulars, and exercise reasonable care. The proper officer may seek further information, suspend preferential tariff treatment pending verification, require security or differential duty for release, and communicate with the Issuing Authority. Preferential treatment may be refused without verification in specified cases, and non-compliance may affect identical goods from the same producer or exporter.
