Rules for Section 46A of the Act

Rules concerning origin and proof of origin in respect of goods exported to the People's Republic of China

46A6.14 Article 14 - Minor errors

Purchase

Where the origin of an imported good is not in doubt, minor typographical errors on the Certificate of Origin, or slight discrepancies between the relevant documents, or the absence of the overleaf instructions, will not of themselves render the Certificate of Origin invalid if it does in fact correspond with the good. However, this does not prevent the People’s Republic of China Customs from initiating a verification process in accordance with rule 46A6.17.
