Origin Verification. This allows parties to verify whether imported goods meet the criteria of “originating goods”. There are only three ways in which one party can carry out verification procedures on the goods of another party. • They must submit a request to the competent authority in the exporting party for information from the exporter or producer in that territory • They may visit the premises of an exporter or producer in the territory of another party to review records and observe the production process • They may use other procedures once these have been agreed upon by both parties The competent authority of the exporting country can ask the exporter or producer to make accounting records and other types of documentation available (if requested by the importing country) and to allow inspection of material, production facilities and processes. Sufficient notice must be given. Within 5 days of receiving official notice, the competent authority in the exporting country must notify the exporter or producer of the verification request. The authority must also obtain the written consent of the exporter or producer whose premises will be visited. If the exporter or producer does not provide written consent or provide the information requested within 30 days after notification has been sent, the country which has requested the verification can deny preferential tariff treatment to the goods in question. The competent authority of the importing country (the one which wants to make the verification) can grant an extension of not more than 10 days to the corresponding authority in the exporting country to deliver the requested documents. In addition, within seven days of receiving notification, the competent authority of the exporting country can postpone the verification visit (for no more than 15 days from the time of receiving notifi- cation - or a longer period if both parties agree). • Who is issuing the notification (official entity) • The name of the exporter or producer whose premises are to be visited • The date and place of the proposed visit • The object and scope of the verification (and specific reference must be made to the goods which are to be examined) • The names and designations of the officials who will carry out the visit • The legal basis for the visit If there is any change in information after notification has been given, this must be communicated in writing to the competent authority of the exporting party which will then notify the exporter or producer....
