Preferential tariff suspension addresses persistent origin misrepresentation through consultations, limited measures, renewal review, and conditional restoration.

Temporary suspension of preferential tariff treatment may follow persistent or deliberate misrepresentation of goods' origin status established through verification, after consultations and where corrective measures are insufficient. Wider suspension for all imports of a good may be considered where multiple parties misrepresent origin for the same six-digit HS classified good and the affected goods exceed half of preferential imports by value. Suspension is time-limited, may be renewed if conditions persist, and preferential treatment may be restored retrospectively or prospectively after appropriate remedial measures.
