Origin verification obligation requires exporters to maintain records and permit inspections to verify preferential origin. Exporters, producers and manufacturers must furnish minimum information and supporting documents to obtain a Certificate of Origin or Origin Declaration when goods meet the Rules of Origin, retain those records and comprehensive commercial accounting for at least five years, make them available for inspection by the exporting Party's competent authority, permit agreed verification visits (failure to consent may deny preferential benefits), and notify authorities and the importer of any changes. False representation of material origin information is subject to penalties under the exporting Party's law.
