If IPP determine that there are issues with the export upon reinspection, what should they do?

• A. Refuse to sign the certificate and document the reason(s) in an MOI
• B. Sign the certificate anyway and notify the FLS of their concerns
• C. Take a regulatory action on the shipment and issue an NR
• D. Issue the establishment a replacement export application

Answer: (A)

If issues are found on reinspection, you should not sign the certificate. Refuse to sign and document the reasons in a formal MOI. This keeps the certification honest and creates an auditable record of the deficiencies, the applicable regulations, and any required corrective actions. Signaling compliance when issues exist would misrepresent the export and could lead to enforcement problems. Premature regulatory action or issuing a replacement application isn’t appropriate until the issues are documented and addressed.
