Claims for Preferential Tariff Treatment. 1. Except as otherwise provided in Article 3.22, each Party shall grant preferential tariff treatment to a good that qualifies as an originating good of the exporting Party provided that the importer: (a) makes a claim for preferential tariff treatment, either by written or electronic means before or at the time of importation, or otherwise in accordance with the importing Party’s laws and regulations, on the grounds that the good qualifies as an originating good; (b) possesses a valid Certificate or Declaration of Origin for the imported good; (c) submits, if required by the importing customs administration, the original or copy of the Certificate or Declaration of Origin and such other documentation relating to the importation of the good; and (d) submits, if required by the importing customs administration, evidence to prove that the consignment criteria specified in Article 3.13 have been met. 2. Where a Certificate or Declaration of Origin is not provided at the time of importation of a good, the importing customs administration may impose the non- preferential import customs duty or payment of a deposit equivalent to the non- preferential duty on that good. In such a case the importer may apply for a refund of any excess import customs duty or deposit paid within one year from the date of importation, or any longer period if provided for by the importing Party in its laws and regulations, provided that the requirements in paragraph 1 are fulfilled. ARTICLE 3.17: MINOR ERRORS OR DISCREPANCIES Where the origin of an imported good is not in doubt, minor transcription errors in a Certificate of Origin or discrepancies in documentation, or the absence of overleaf instructions in a Certificate of Origin, will not of themselves render the Certificate of Origin invalid if it does in fact correspond to the good.
