Article 4.20
Declaration of Origin

1. For the purposes of obtaining preferential tariff treatment where the customs value of a consignment of originating goods does not exceed five thousand (5,000) US dollars or the equivalent value in the importing Party's currency, a Declaration of Origin shall be accepted in place of a Certificate of Origin.

2. The Parties shall ensure that such importation does not form part of one or more consignments that may reasonably be considered to have been undertaken or arranged for the purposes of avoiding the submission of a Certificate of Origin.

3. Declarations of Origin shall be made out by the producer or exporter by typing or printing on the invoice or other shipping documents in the English language based on the template in Annex 4 - 3 (Declaration of Origin). Declarations of Origin shall bear the original signature of the producer, exporter or its authorised representative in handwriting.

4. A Declaration of Origin shall cover originating goods under one consignment and shall remain valid for twelve (12) months from the date of issuance.

5. The producer or exporter making out a Declaration of Origin shall be prepared to submit upon the request of the customs authorities of the importing Party, via the verification authority of the exporting Party, all appropriate documents proving the origin of the goods concerned, as well as the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Chapter.

6. Where the customs authorities of the importing Party have a reasonable doubt as to the authenticity of a Declaration of Origin or the compliance of the goods concerned with the origin criteria, they may request that the importer present a Certificate of Origin. Such request shall be made in writing and shall state the reasons for which the request is made.
