VERIFICATION OF CERTIFICATES OF ORIGIN Clause Samples

The "Verification of Certificates of Origin" clause establishes the right and process for verifying the authenticity and accuracy of certificates that attest to the origin of goods. Typically, this clause allows the importing party or relevant authorities to request supporting documentation, conduct inspections, or contact the issuing body to confirm that the goods genuinely originate from the declared country. By providing a formal mechanism for verification, the clause helps prevent fraud, ensures compliance with trade agreements, and protects against the improper application of tariffs or trade preferences.
