·    submit to Customs in each export declaration relating to the goods in respect of which the status was granted, a reasonable estimation of the information that you are unable to ascertain prior to exportation.

If the CEO grants you confirming exporter status, your status may be subject to additional conditions which will be included in the confirming exporter status approval notice.
