Article 42

1. Where there are reasonable grounds to believe that a used vehicle to be exported may not comply with the requirements of this Chapter, the customs authorities shall immediately suspend the release for export of that used vehicle, immediately notify the competent authorities designated under Article 38 of the suspension and transmit all relevant information needed for the competent authorities to determine whether the used vehicle complies with the requirements of this Regulation and may be released for export. 2. For the purpose of determining whether a used vehicle, subject to suspension as referred to in paragraph 1, complies with this Regulation, the competent authorities may request, from any person involved in the export of that used vehicle, additional information, including information on the sale or transfer of vehicle ownership, such as a copy of the invoice or contract, and documentary evidence that that used vehicle is destined for further use.
