Case 6: for each property described in box 5, the six-digit HS rate classification. When the type of goods is subject to a special rule of origin in Schedule 401, which requires eight digits, you identify it using the shS tariff classification of the country in which the goods are imported. In the United States, the exporter is required to keep the original or a copy of the certificate for five years from the date of signature. The importer is required to keep the certificate and all other relevant documents five years after the goods are imported. Appropriate records of the goods, their materials and their production must support the facts alleged in the certificate. Mexican exporters must keep a copy of the certificate for 10 years. Canadian importers and exporters are required to keep the certificate for the importer for six years and six years from the date of signature for the Canadian exporter. This field relates to the eligible tariff preference and should be verified on the basis of the country in which the shipment is intended. Identify the name of the country of origin (US, MX, CA or JNT). Please indicate which party to the transaction certifies that the goods are eligible in accordance with the USMCA`s rules of origin and the statement on the form: Note 1: This criterion does not apply to products entirely originating in Canada or the United States and imported into both countries.
Who is responsible for determining whether the product is qualified under NAFTA and issuing the certificate? The certificate of origin must be completed and signed by the exporter of the products. If the exporter is not the producer, the exporter can complete the certificate on the basis of the knowledge that the products originated; The manufacturer`s written statement that the goods originated should be invoked; a certificate of origin completed and signed for products voluntarily made available to the exporter by the manufacturer. Shipping Solutions software simplifies the creation of these certificates. Every time you create an original certificate, the information is stored in the software. Depending on how many times you create a USMCA COO, once a year or more often, you get a data set of the certificates you create. Case 7: For each property described in box 5, indicate which criterion (A to F) is applicable. The rules of origin are in Chapter 4 and Schedule 401. Other provisions are described in Appendix 703.2 (certain agricultural products), Appendix 300-B, Appendix 6A (some textile products) and Schedule 308.1 (some automatic processing products and their parts). Note: To qualify for preferential tariff treatment, each type of product must meet at least one of the following criteria. Case 8: For each property described in box 5, say “YES” if you are the producer of the property.
If you are not the producer of the products, indicate “NO” followed by (1), (2) or (3), depending on whether this certificate is based on: (1) your knowledge of the qualification of well-being as a product of origin; (2) confidence in the manufacturer`s written representation (with a certificate of origin) that the products may be considered original products; or (3) a certificate completed and signed for products voluntarily made available to the exporter by the manufacturer. In this field, the original criterion is cited as the basis for preferential treatment. The test in this area forms the basis of the importer`s request. When an exporter finds that the goods exported comply with NAFTA`s rules of origin, a NAFTA certificate of origin must be completed in a precise and legible manner.
