Country of Manufacture:
This drop down is used to identify the country of manufacture for the product. The Country list can be modified in the Administration | Countries table.
NAFTA Preference:
This drop down consists of letter values from A-F and is used to determine the NAFTA preference for the product.
NAFTA Preference Code Definitions:
The NAFTA preference code is designated by the letters “A” through “F” indicating how your product qualifies for a NAFTA tariff rate.
The preference criterion is required in Field #7 of the Certificate of Origin for each export product.
The NAFTA preference criteria are a follows:
Preference Criterion A
Preference Criterion A corresponds to goods wholly obtained or produced entirely in Canada, Mexico or the United states.
For a good to qualify under this criterion, it must contain NO non-North American parts of materials anywhere in the production process. It is generally reserved for basic products such as those harvested, mined, or fished in the NFTA territory, although it would include a manufactured good with NO non-NAFTA inputs.
As a general rule, however, Preference Criterion A rarely applies to manufactured goods. If the god contains ANY non-FAFTA materials, it will not qualify under Preference Criterion A.
Preference Criterion B
Even if you good contains non-NAFTA materials, it can qualify a B if the materials satisfy the Rules of Origin. The Annex 401 Rules of Origin are based on a change in tariff classification, a regional value-content requirement, or both.
The updated Rules of Origin are located in General Note 12(t) of the NAFTA. Preference Criterion B is used when the good being certified is produced using materials that the producer/exporter is unable to prove qualify as originating goods in their own right. The finished product will be originating if the requirements of the applicable rule of origin are met. The requirements of the NAFTA Rules of Origin differ from good to good.
Preference Criterion C
This criterion corresponds to goods produced entirely in Canada, Mexico, and/or the United States exclusively from NAFTA materials.
Preference Criterion C is used when the producer/exporter is able to document that the finished good is produced entirely in the NAFTA territory using only materials that would qualify in their own right. The producer/exporter should have documented proof that every raw material and component is a NAFTA good.
Preference Criterion D
Goods are produced in the territory of one or more of the NAFTA countries but do not meet the applicable rule of origin, set out in Annex 401, because certain non-originating material do not undergo the required change in tariff classification. The good do none the less meet the regional value-content requirement specified in Article 401(d). This criterion is limited to the following two circumstances:
1 – The good was imported into the territory of a NAFTA country in an unassembled or disassembled form but was classified as an assembled good, pursuant to H>S> General Rule of Interpretation 2(a), or
2 – The good incorporated one of more non-originating materials, provided for as parts under the H.S., which could not undergo a change in tariff classification because the heading provided for both the good and its parts and was not further subdivided into subheadings, or the subheading provided for both the good and its parts and was not further subdivided.
Preference Criterion E
This criterion applies to certain automatic data processing goods and their parts, specified in Annex 308.1.
Preference Criterion F
Preference Criterion F applies to certain agricultural goods imported into Mexico. For more information, please call the U.S. Foreign Agricultural Service at (202) 720 – 7420.
The good is an originating agricultural good under preference criterion A,B, or C above and is not subject to a quantitative restriction in the importing NAFTA country because it is a “qualifying good” as defined in Annex 703.2, Section A or B(please specify). A good listed in Appendix 703.2B.7 is also exempt from quantitative restrictions and is eligible for NAFTA preferential tariff treatment if it meets the definition of “qualifying good” in Section A of Annex 703.2.
NOTE 1: This criterion does not apply to goods that wholly originated in Canada or the United States and are imported into either country.
NOTE 2: A tariff rate quota is not a quantitative restriction.
Producer:
This drop down is used to identify the NAFTA producer for the product.
Valid codes are as follows:
NO(1) - You are not the producer of the good. This certificate was based on your knowledge of whether the good qualifies as an originating good.
NO(2) - You are not the producer of the good. This certificate was based on your reliance on the written representation of the producer (other than a Certificate of Origin) that the good qualifies as an originating good.
NO(3) - You are not the producer of the good. This certificate was based on the complete and signed certificate for the good voluntarily provided to the exporter by the producer.
YES - You are the producer of the good.
Net Cost Method:
This drop down is used to identify the Net Cost Method for Goods. No indicates Net Cost Method not used, NC indicates Net Cost Method is used. Enter NC if the rule of origin requires a regional value content qualification and if you use the net code method rather than the transaction value method. In ALL other instances enter NO.
RVC Begin Date:
Regional Value Content Rule beginning date.
RVC End Date:
Regional Value Content Rule beginning date.
Fair Market Value:
This field is used to define the lowest price at which the seller would sell the item at which is then used for export value calculations.
