paragraph 8 is replaced by the following: ‘8. For the purposes of paragraphs 3 and 4 of this Article, goods falling under CN codes 7102 31 00 and 7102 10 00 that are imported into the Union shall be submitted for verification without delay, together with a certificate pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002 (*2) in which the country of mining origin or the countries of mining origin are clearly stated, to the authority specified in Annex XXXVIIIB. The Member State where those goods are brought into the customs territory of the Union shall ensure their submission to the authority specified in Annex XXXVIIIB. Customs transit may be granted to that effect. If such customs transit is granted, the verification provided for in this paragraph shall be suspended until the arrival of those goods at the authority specified in Annex XXXVIIIB. The importer shall be responsible for the proper movement of those goods and the costs of such movement. A submission to that authority shall not be necessary provided that the goods had previously undergone the verification procedure provided for in this paragraph and provided that that is proven by traceability evidence, including a corresponding certificate certifying that the diamonds are not mined, processed or produced in Russia, as provided for in paragraph 10. (*2) Council Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002 of 20 December 2002 implementing the Kimberley Process certification scheme for the international trade in rough diamonds (OJ L 358, 31.12.2002, p. 28, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2002/2368/oj)’;"
