CBP requests the data behind a producer's certification. The importer does not have the cost records. What may the importer do?
- Tell CBP the request is improper because the importer certified nothing
- Withdraw the entry
- Substitute a certification from an unrelated party
- Arrange for the producer to submit that information directly to CBP
Show the answer
D. Arrange for the producer to submit that information directly to CBP
The importer is responsible for submitting requested support and for its truthfulness. When the exporter or producer prepared the certification, the importer provides the information they relied on, or arranges for them to submit it directly.
