Regulation 30 Certificate of authenticityI1
United Kingdom
Where this regulation applies, the applicant must submit with the licence application—
the original certificate of authenticity which has been issued by the recognised authority for the exporting country identifying the origin of the goods and certifying that the particulars of the goods set out in the certificate are accurate; and
a copy of that certificate.
The recognised authority for the exporting country is the authority listed in the footnote to the entry in column (6) of the Licensing Table corresponding with the row for the quota concerned.
The certificate of authenticity must be valid on the date on which the licence application is submitted.
A certificate of authenticity is deemed to be valid for the purposes of paragraph (3)—
for a period of three months from the date of its issue; or
if that period of three months extends beyond the last day of the quota period in respect of the quota concerned, until the end of the quota period.
Once a certificate of authenticity has been submitted with a licence application, it cannot be used in connection with any other application for an import licence.
The original certificate of authenticity must be retained by the Secretary of State.
If an import licence is issued, the quantity of quota goods to be imported under the licence is to be noted on the copy of the certificate of authenticity along with the licence issue number and the copy certificate is to be returned to the applicant.
