(2) Where a claim for preferential tariff treatment is based on the importer’s knowledge pursuant to sub-rule (1) of rule 16, for the purpose of determining whether a good imported into the United Kingdom is originating, the customs authority of the United Kingdom may conduct a verification by a written request for information from the importer of the goods. Explanation: For greater certainty, if a claim for preferential tariff treatment is based on the importer’s knowledge that the good is originating, the customs authority of the United Kingdom shall not request information from the competent authority of India to complete verification under these rules. (3) Where a claim for preferential tariff treatment is based on an origin declaration or a certificate of origin, for the purpose of determining whether a good imported into the importing Party is originating, the customs authority of the importing Party may conduct a verification of the claim by requesting in writing, information from the importer of the good in accordance with the laws and regulations of the importing Party. (4) Where the customs authority of the importing Party considers the information obtained under sub-rule (3) is not sufficient to make a determination of origin, the customs authority of the importing Party shall make a written request for information from the competent authority of the exporting Party. The customs authority of the importing Party shall seek information necessary to verify the origin of the good and pertaining to the fulfilment of the requirements of these rules. The request shall be made not later than two years after the date on which the claim for preferential tariff treatment was made. (5) A request for assistance relating to the verification of origin in respect of a claim for preferential tariff treatment under the Agreement may be made after the two year time period specified in sub-rule (4) in accordance with the Agreement between the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of the Republic of India on Cooperation and Mutual Administrative Assistance in Customs Matters signed in London on 31st May, 2021. Such requests may include a request for the information referred to in sub-rule (6). For greater certainty, rule 20 remains applicable pursuant to such a request. In the case ofsuspected fraud, collusion, wilful misstatement, and suppression of facts where such a request is made within a period of five years from the date on which the claim for preferential tariff treatment was made, the requested Party shall ensure that it responds to the request within twelve months. In exceptional cases, the Parties may by mutual agreement agree to extend this period for further six months. Explanation: Requests for information from the United Kingdom shall be made to the Department of Commerce in India. (6) A request made pursuant to sub-rule (4) may also include a request for the competent authority of the exporting Party to verify specific information held by the exporter, producer or supplier necessary to determine the origin of the good, such as: (a) where the origin criterion is wholly obtained pursuant to clause (a) of sub rule (1) of rule 3, the applicable category, such as harvesting, mining, fishing and the place of production; (b) where the origin criterion is based on the good having been produced entirely pursuant to clause (b) of sub-rule (1) of rule 3, the information on the origin of the materials used, including information referred to in clauses (d), (e) and (f) and the place of production; (c) where the origin criterion is based on the good satisfying all applicable requirements of Annexure-A in accordance with clause (c) of sub-rule (1) of rule 3, the information on the origin of the materials, including information referred to in clauses (d), (e) and (f) and the place of production; (d) where the origin criterion is based on a change in tariff classification, a list of all the non-originating materials used in the production of the good in a Party, including their tariff classification in two, four or six- digit format, depending on the relevant product-specific rule of origin; (e) where the origin criterion is based on a value method, the value of the final good and the value of all the non-originating materials used in the production of that good if the build down method is used or the value of all originating materials used in the production if the build-up method is used as well as other relevant elements, including expenses, in accordance with rule 6; (f) where the origin criterion is based on a specific production process, a description of that specific process; (g) where the good has acquired originating status pursuant to sub-rule (1) of rule 7 or rule 9, information on the origin of the materials used and the final good, including information referred to in clauses (d), (e) and (f) and the place of production; (h) information on any tolerances relied on under rule 10; (i) information relating to compliance with the non-alteration provisions under rule 15; (j) any other information including specific documentation or production process; or (k) supporting documentation, where appropriate. (7) The competent authority of the exporting Party shall provide the customs authority of the importing Party with a written acknowledgement of receipt of the request made pursuant to sub-rule (4) or sub-rule (6) within a period of thirty days after the date of the request. (8) Following a request under sub-rule (4), the competent authority of the exporting Party may conduct a verification by one or more of the following activities:-- (a) requesting in writing, specific information and documentation from the exporter, producer or supplier referred to in sub-rule (6); (b) requesting in writing, including by way of questionnaire, such information from the exporter, a producer or a supplier to ascertain the veracity of the information that formed the basis of the proof of origin; and (c) visiting the premises of the exporter, producer, or supplier to review the records referred to in sub-rule (2) of rule 25, or to observe the facilities, processes, equipment or tools used in the production of the good, or to gather further evidence to verify the originating status of the goods. (9) As soon as possible and in any event within seven months of receiving a request under sub-rule (4), the competent authority of the exporting Party shall provide the customs authority of the importing Party with a verification report. In exceptional cases, the Parties may agree, by mutual agreement, to extend this period by a further three months. The verification report shall include the following;-- (a) subject to sub-rule (10), any available information, including specific documentation, which the customs authority of the importing Party requested the competent authority of the exporting Party to verify, pursuant to sub-rule (6); (b) a description of the good that is subject to examination, including its tariff classification in 2, 4 or 6-digit format, depending on the origin criterion; (c) a description of the production process; (d) information on the manner in which the verification of the good pursuant to sub-rule (8) was conducted including the subject and scope of the verification; and (e) supporting documentation, where appropriate. (10) Notwithstanding sub-rule (9), the competent authority of the exporting Party shall not provide information to the customs authority of the importing Party if that information is deemed confidential by the exporter, producer or supplier. In such circumstances, the competent authority of the exporting Party shall confirm if it has reviewed the information the importing Party requested it to verify pursuant to sub-rules (4) and (6) and shall list the sources of information reviewed, stating whether the information supports the claim for preferential tariff treatment. (11) If, upon receiving the verification report under sub-rule (9), the customs authority of the importing Party is unable to make a determination, it may request that the competent authority of the exporting Party verifies specific additional information, as mentioned in the request, relating to the origin of the good, which may include the information referred to in sub-rule (6), by way of a written request to the exporter, producer or supplier. (12) In exceptional circumstances, if, following a request under sub-rule (11), the customs authority of the importing Party is unable to make a determination, it may request that the competent authority of the exporting Party conducts a visit to the exporter, producer or supplier. The customs authority of the importing Party shall only make a request where it reasonably considers the visit necessary to make a determination. The request for such a verification visit shall be made not later than thirty days of the receipt of the response from the competent authority of the exporting Party to a request made under sub-rule (11). The competent authority of the exporting Party shall respond to the request for a visit within forty five days. (13) Upon acceptance of a request for a visit under sub-rule (12), the competent authority of the exporting Party shall give a notice of at least twenty-one days to the competent authority of the importing Party to enable arrangements for the visit. (14) Subject to any reasonable conditions specified by the competent authority of the exporting Party, such as health and safety requirements, the customs authority of the importing Party may designate upto two observers to be present during the verification visit conducted by the customs authority of the exporting Party under sub-rule (12), provided that,- (a) any person designated as an observer is a government official of the importing Party; and (b) any observer acts through the competent authority of the exporting Party and does not, on its own initiative, look for documents, conduct any searches or questions the exporter, producer or supplier directly. (15) The competent authority of the exporting Party shall share the information on the visit including the manner in which the visit was conducted as well as the subject and scope of the verification within forty-five days of the conclusion of the visit. (16) A verification under this rule may be conducted at any time after the claim for preferential tariff treatment is made. (17) A request for verification under this rule shall be conducted on the basis of risk assessment methods, which may include random selection or on the basis of intelligence. (18) During verification, the importing Party may allow the release of the good, subject to payment of any duties or provision of any security as provided for in its laws and regulations. In accordance with the laws and regulations of the importing Party, if, as a result of the verification, the importing Party determines that the good meets all the requirements of these rules, it shall grant preferential tariff treatment to the good and refund any excess duties paid or release any security provided, unless the security also covers other obligations. (19) The customs authority of the importing Party shall reserve the right to issue the final determination of origin in accordance with rule 20, provided that the determination takes into account the information provided to it by the competent authority of the exporting Party as well as any independent findings or investigation. (20) The customs authority of the importing Party shall:-- (a) make a determination following a verification as expeditiously as possible and not later than one year from the date it receives information which, in its opinion, is sufficient to enable it to make such a determination. If permitted by its laws and regulations, a Party may extend this period in exceptional cases, such as where the information concerned is complex. This time period will not apply to verifications pertaining to cases of suspected fraud, collusion, wilful misstatement, and suppression of facts referred to in sub rule (5); (b) provide the importer with a written determination of whether the good is originating that includes the reasons for the determination; and (c) provide the competent authority of the exporting Party with a written determination of whether the good is originating including the reasons for that determination. (21) The competent authorities of the Parties shall cooperate in the overall operation and administration of the verification process including establishing priorities, by mutual agreement, if there are a significant number of requests. (22) The customs authorities of the Parties shall bear their own costs in carrying out the activities referred to in this rule. 27. Temporary Suspension of Preferential Tariff Treatment.- (1) Subject to the possibility of exemption undersub-rule (11), the importing Party may, in accordance with the procedure laid down in sub-rule (3), temporarily suspend preferential tariff treatment in respect of a good for which an exporter or producer has completed a proof of origin, if: (a) a good has been subject to verification in accordance with rule 26 on at least two separate occasions and the second occasion is in respect of a proof of origin dated at least one month after the competent authority of the importing Party provides the determination to the competent authority of the exporting Party in respect of the first occasion; and (b) each verification results in the denial of preferential tariff treatment in accordance with rule 20. (2) Suspension of preferential tariff treatment under sub-rule (1) shall only apply to a good imported after the suspension is initiated, if that good is: (a) classified under the same classification code as specified in the import declaration of the good that was subject to verification under sub-rule (1); and (b) exported or produced by the exporter or producer who completed the proof of origin of the good that was subject to verification under sub-rule (1). (3) If the importing Party intends to temporarily suspend preferential tariff treatment in accordance with sub-rule (1), it shall notify the competent authority of the exporting Party at least fifteen days prior to the commencement of any suspension, which shall include the following: (a) the name of the exporter or producer and their reference number; (b) the detailed reasons for the intention to suspend preferential tariff treatment; (c) a detailed description of the good subject to suspension, including the corresponding commodity code as specified in the import declaration and the description of the good as specified in the proof of origin; (d) the time period for which the temporary suspension is to be in effect; (e) the information on the measures necessary for the restoration of preferential tariff treatment; and (f) any other relevant information. (4) Temporary suspension pursuant to sub-rule (1) shall apply only for the period necessary to counteract breaches or circumventions of these rules and to protect the financial interests of the importing Party. The competent authority of the importing Party shall restore preferential tariff treatment suspended in accordance with sub-rule (1), if the competent authority of the exporting Party provides evidence and the Parties agree that the conditions that gave rise to the suspension no longer exists. If the importing Party is not satisfied that the evidence provided by the competent authority of the exporting Party demonstrates that the conditions that gave rise to the suspension no longer exist, they shall provide their reasoning. Where the conditions that gave rise to the suspension exist at the expiry of the period ofthe temporary suspension, the importing Party may decide to renew the suspension. Any renewal of suspension shall be notified to the competent authority of the exporting Party. (5) Subject to the possibility of exemption under sub-rule (11), the importing Party may temporarily suspend the relevant preferential tariff treatment for future imports of the same good classified under an identified classification code as specified in the import declaration in accordance with the procedure laid down in sub-rules (7) to (9) if:-- (a) the importing Party suspects, based on verifiable information that deliberate breaches of these rules have been committed in respect of that good; (b) the good has been subject to verification in accordance with rule 26 for at least two different exporters or producers, each being subject to verification on at least two separate occasions, and the second occasion is in respect of a proof of origin dated at least one month after the competent authority of the importing Party provides the determination to the competent authority of the exporting Party in respect of the first occasion; and (c) each verification results in the denial of preferential tariff treatment in accordance with rule 20. (6) For the purposes of sub-rule (5), the exporters or producers subject to verification shall collectively account for the majority of the total exports of those goods from the exporting Party to the importing Party in the twelve months preceding the date of the first request for verification referred to in clause (b) of sub-rule (5). (7) In case where the importing Party intends to temporarily suspend preferential tariff treatment in accordance with sub-rule (5), it shall notify the Working Group on Rules of Origin and, on the exporting Party’s request, shall enter into consultations with the exporting Party. The importing Party shall provide that the notification to the Working Group on Rules of Origin includes evidence that the requirements specified in sub-rules (5) and (6) have been met. The consultation shall aim to clarify the grounds for intention to suspend, be used to discuss any mitigating factors and explore possible solutions to avoid suspension. No suspension shall take place until the consultation process has concluded, unless the Parties agree otherwise. (8) If the Parties fail to agree on a mutually acceptable solution or no consultations have been entered into within one month after the date of notification made in accordance with sub-rule (7), or such other period as the Parties may mutually agree, the importing Party may temporarily suspend the relevant preferential tariff treatment. In that case, the importing Party shall notify the temporary suspension, including the period during which it intends the temporary suspension to apply, to the Working Group on Rules of Origin without delay. (9) Temporary suspension pursuant to sub-rule (5) shall apply only for the period necessary to counteract breaches or circumventions of these rules and to protect the financial interests of the importing Party. The Parties shall keep any suspension under review through the Working Group on Rules of Origin and where it is agreed by the Parties that the suspension is no longer necessary, the importing Party shall bring it to an end. Where the conditions that gave rise to the suspension pursuant to sub-rule (5) persist at the expiry of the initial period of the temporary suspension, the importing Party may decide to renew the suspension. Any such renewal of suspension shall be notified to the exporting Party. (10) Each Party shall publish, in accordance with its internal procedures, notices to importers about any decision concerning temporary suspension referred to in sub-rule (5). (11) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-rules (1) and (5), if an exporter or producer is able to satisfy the exporting Party that such goods are fully compliant with the requirements of these rules and the importing Party agrees, the importing Party shall exempt those goods from the suspension. Explanation: For greater certainty, a good subject to verification which has been released subject to the payment of any duties or provision of any security in accordance with sub rule (18) of rule 26 shall not constitute temporary suspension of preferential tariff treatment under this rule. 28.
