CBP asks for the documents behind an exporter's certification. What must the importer do?

- Provide them, or arrange for the exporter or producer to submit them directly
- Refer CBP to the Court of International Trade
Show the answer
C. Provide them, or arrange for the exporter or producer to submit them directly
When CBP requests support for a certification the exporter or producer prepared, the importer provides the information the exporter or producer relied on, or arranges for that person to submit it directly. The importer is responsible for the truthfulness of those documents.
