The law broadly serves citizens without excessive burden.

Summary

This ordinance governs how origin certificates and origin declarations for exported goods are issued under listed free-trade agreements and origin-rules law. It defines the eligible documents, imposes recordkeeping and self-reporting duties, authorizes customs verification and unannounced inspections, gives chambers of commerce and the customs authority supervisory roles, creates permit and registration regimes for authorized and registered exporters, charges fees, and penalizes noncompliance with fines.

Verdict reason
Origin proofs are an operational prerequisite for using the treaty-based trade preferences this ordinance implements. The law supplies the verification, authorization, and enforcement machinery needed to make those documents credible across borders; without it, exporters would be materially worse off because the underlying preferential trade arrangements would be much harder to access in practice.
