HRS §490:1-307
When third-party documents count as proof
This section says that certain documents, like bills of lading or insurance certificates, are accepted as genuine proof in court unless someone challenges them. It applies only to documents that the contract requires or allows a third party to issue.

The statute, as written — Prima facie evidence by third-party documents
A document in due form purporting to be a bill of lading, policy or certificate of insurance, official weigher's or inspector's certificate, consular invoice, or any other document authorized or required by the contract to be issued by a third party is prima facie evidence of its own authenticity and genuineness and of the facts stated in the document by the third party.
