What is verification of origin and what is the timeframe for completion?

Verification of origin is a provision in every trade agreement. It entails the Customs administration in the importing party making a request to the Customs administration in the exporting party to verify that goods presented for preferential duty treatment have met the originating criteria. Each trade agreement has its own stipulated timeline for completion of a verification request, which can range from four (4) weeks to ten (10) months, depending on the Agreement.
