What is the process for determining if a product qualifies for the NAFTA preferential tariff and for completing the Certificate?
Completion of a NAFTA Certificate is the declaration that the party signing the document has researched the NAFTA agreement terms and has determined that the subject goods are “originating goods” as defined in the agreement. The preparation of the NAFTA Certificate imposes obligations and liabilities on the party signing the certificate. Signing authorities should be aware of the terms of the NAFTA agreement. Just because the product was manufactured in a NAFTA country (U.S., Mexico, or Canada) does not automatically qualify it for NAFTA preferential duty rate. The product must meet the specific NAFTA rule of origin and the Exporter must complete the NAFTA Certificate of Origin before the importer can claim the NAFTA tariff rate. PBB’s Trade & Regulatory Services can assist you in this process.
