CBP may deny any claim for preferential tariff treatment of any covered vehicle if:
(a) CBP determines that the good does not qualify for preferential tariff treatment due to a failure to meet the LVC, steel purchasing, or aluminum purchasing requirements set forth in General Note 11, HTSUS, Appendix A to this part, or §§ 182.93 and 182.94 of this subpart;
(b) The producer of the covered vehicle fails to submit the required LVC, steel purchasing, or aluminum purchasing certifications to CBP, pursuant to §§ 182.95, 182.96, and 182.97 of this subpart;

(d) CBP determines that an LVC, steel purchasing, or aluminum purchasing certification that forms the basis for a covered vehicle's eligibility for USMCA preferential tariff treatment is invalid after it was determined to be properly filed;
(e) The importer, exporter, or producer fails to maintain records of the vehicle certifications and supporting documents as required pursuant to §§ 182.103 and 182.104 of this subpart;
(f) The importer, exporter, or producer fails to provide a CBP or DOL official the records or documentation that are in its possession or required to be maintained pursuant to § 182.105(c) of this subpart; or
