What you are looking for is a signed document (like a PDF). In my experience, banks and the government offer those. Other companies not so much.

Makes no sense. The company could just fake the "signed document". Having it encrypted makes no difference if the source can't be trusted.

PGP signed CSV would work :)

signed by whom? The company which sells the product would have to sign them. Otherwise they can be faked by everyone. Even PDF should be signed IMHO.
