⚠️ What This Means for Importers:

✅ Higher compliance requirements
✅ Customs can demand extra proof beyond CoO
✅ Risk of preferential duty denial & penalties if proof is insufficient
✅ Possible clearance delays

📌 Stay informed and make sure you’re compliant with the FTA rules for a smoother import process.
