The STMO shall be responsible for informing the competent authority of the end-use country and all countries through which the goods will be transshipped or transited. In fulfilling this responsibility, the STMO may request additional documents such as declarations of the shippers or refer to other relevant information obtained in the course of performing their functions under this Act.

The application, issuance, modification, suspension, or revocation procedures of end-use certification documentation shall be in accordance with the IRR and in consultation with the NSC-STMCom as may be necessary.
