Verification of Origin: importers must retain required origin evidence and face compulsory verification for inadequate or inaccurate documentation. Section 28DA and CAROTAR, 2020 require importers to possess specified minimum information and exercise reasonable care regarding origin claims; customs must first seek information from the importer before seeking verification abroad, may select COOs for risk based or representative verification, and will forward verification requests through the Board's nodal point with prescribed documentation; failure to provide information or exercise reasonable care may lead to compulsory verification of future consignments until adequate controls are demonstrated.
