The onus is on the receiving country, ie the EU. That is the way it operates everywhere else in the World. Eg Is China expected to enforce border controls on behalf of other countries? They can ship whatever they like, it is up to the destination country to control and choose what they let in and what they don't.

Mr Barnier said the UK's suggested alternative to the Irish backstop - which would see customs checks conducted away from the border at business premises or electronically - "had not been tested" and was "largely based" on exemptions for small businesses and technology that "has yet to be developed".

The bit in bold goes for each and every possible solution, ironically including the backstop. And the EU still claim they are ready to accept a "valid" solution.
