1 When an origin has been indicated in the customs declaration, the Service may require the declarant to prove the origin of the goods.

2 Documentary evidence of origin shall be a declaration of origin in English language by the manufacturer or exporter or a certificate issued by a designated authority in the country of production.

3 Declarations and certificates of origin may be verified under mutual assistance agreements between the Service and other customs administrations of other countries and by other means.

4 Where the declarant provides proof of origin of goods, the Service may, in the event of reasonable doubt, request for any additional evidence needed in order to prove origin.
