Release of Goods 1. Each Party shall adopt or maintain simplified customs procedures for the efficient release of goods in order to facilitate trade between the Parties. 2. Pursuant to paragraph 1, each Party shall adopt or maintain procedures that: (a) provide for the immediate release of goods upon receipt of the customs declaration and fulfillment of all applicable requirements and procedures; (b) provide for the electronic submission and processing of documentation and data, including manifests, in advance of the arrival of the goods in order to expedite the release of goods from customs control upon arrival; (c) allow goods to be released at the point of arrival without requiring temporary transfer to warehouses or other facilities; and (d) require that the importer be informed if a Party does not promptly release goods, including, to the extent permitted by its law, the reasons why the goods are not released and which border agency, if not the customs administration, has withheld release of the goods. 3. Each Party shall adopt or maintain procedures that provide for the release of goods prior to a final determination and payment of any customs duties, taxes, fees, and charges imposed on or in connection with importation of the goods, when these are not determined prior to or promptly upon arrival, provided that the goods are otherwise eligible for release and any security required by the importing Party has been provided. 4. If a Party allows for the release of goods conditioned ona security, it shall adopt or maintain procedures that: (a) ensure that the amount of the security is no greater than that required to ensure that obligations arising from the importation of the goods will be fulfilled; (b) ensure that the security shall be discharged as soon as possible after its customs administration is satisfied that the obligations arising from the importation of the goods have been fulfilled or, for instruments covering multiple entries, until it is no longer required by the customs administration; and (c) allow an importer to provide security using a non-cash financial instrument, including, if applicable, when an importer frequently enters goods, an instrument covering multiple entries. 5. Nothing in this Article requires a Party to release a good if its requirements for release have not been met nor prevents a Party from liquidating a security in accordance with its law. 6. Each Party shall allow, to the extent practicable, goods intended for import to be moved within its territory under customs control from the point of entry into the Party's territory to another customs office in its territory from where the goods are intended to be released, provided the applicable regulatory requirements are met.
