Verification of origin for FTA imports to validate Certificates of Origin and trigger risk based post import review. Verification of origin is required for imports under Free/Preferential Trade Agreements by examining the prescribed Certificate of Origin for completeness, signatures and seals, and by investigating doubts about authenticity or declared origin. Verification may be initiated on risk parameters-such as the duty foregone, supplier frequency, commodity origin compatibility, propensity for mis declaration, and importer compliance-or at random. The Risk Management Division will suggest selection criteria and build an EDI/RMS application to flag consignments and prompt assessing officers for post import verification.
