If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should
attend our NAFTA Certificate of Origin seminar to improve
your understanding of the NAFTA certification process and
determine whether your company’s products qualify for
NAFTA’s tariff reductions.
The three NAFTA customs agencies focus the burden of certification
proof on the exporter of record. Although your freight forwarder
may complete the NAFTA Certificate of Origin on your behalf,
your company is still held liable for the declarations being
made on the certificate. Any fines or penalties for incorrect
or false certification will be assessed to the exporter of
record.
The customs agencies require record keeping and audit trail
systems to assure that due diligence has been used in both
the certification and documentation processes.
A clear understanding of the NAFTA Certificate of Origin
requirements will help you verify that your suppliers’
goods qualify as NAFTA originating materials. In turn, you
can ensure NAFTA’s preferential treatment for your customers.
