1.The competent authority at a border control post or at a point of release for free circulation, as appropriate, shall perform official controls on consignments for the verification of compliance with Regulation (EU) 2018/848 as follows:
(a)documentary checks on all consignments;
(b)identity checks carried out randomly; and
(c)physical checks at a frequency depending on the likelihood of non-compliance with Regulation (EU) 2018/848.
Documentary checks shall include an examination of the certificate of inspection, of all other supporting documents as provided in Article 5, and, where applicable, of the results of analyses or tests carried out on the samples taken.In case a certificate of inspection requires corrections of a purely clerical or editorial nature, the competent authority may accept that the control authority or control body that has issued the certificate of inspection updates the information in TRACES by replacing the document in accordance with the procedure available in TRACES without modifying the information in the initial certificate concerning the identification of the consignment, its traceability and the guarantees.
