Preferential tariff treatment may be denied for origin non-compliance or inadequate verification, with written reasons and applicable customs duties.

Preferential tariff treatment may be denied if goods do not qualify as originating or fail to meet origin requirements. Denial may also result where verification information is insufficient because relevant persons fail to respond, comply, provide documents within prescribed timelines, or permit a verification visit. The importer must receive written reasons for denial. Established non-compliance with rules of origin attracts duties under the importing Party's law.
