Frequently Asked Questions
What is USMCA?
USMCA, or the US – Mexico – Canada Agreement, is a trade agreement between the three named countries that replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Please note that in Mexico, the agreement is referred to as Tratado entre Mexico, Estados Unidos y Canada (T-MEC)and in Canada, this agreement is referred to as the Canada – United States – Mexico Agreement(CUSMA).
Aren’t all products from the US, Canada, and Mexico automatically qualified?
No. An item coming from one of these countries isn’t the same as an item originating in one of these countries. Kendrick Trade’s USMCA tool analyzes Bills of Material (BOMs) to assess if the finished good meets requirements for preferential treatment as outlined in USMCA’s Annex 4-B Product Specific Rules of Origin.
What data do I need to qualify a good for USMCA?
To qualify a good for USMCA using Kendrick’s USMCA tool, you will need a costed bill of materials (BOM), origin data and HTS codes for both the finished good and its components.
How do I assign a harmonized tariff code (HTS) to my finished good or to components within the Bill of Materials (BOM)?
The Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States can be found at this link. Assigning the appropriate code can be a complex process. We recommend working with a customs expert. Need help? Inquire about a Kendrick consultant.
What if I don’t know the country of origin of a component?
Reach out to your supplier and ask them to provide you with a certificate of origin. If you purchase the same component on a regular basis, you can request a blanket certificate covering an extended period. It is recommended you keep certificates of origin on file in accordance with recordkeeping requirements, for no less than five years.
What are the US recordkeeping requirements of USMCA?
The importer claiming preferential tariff treatment and the exporter / producer in its territory must maintain records. The effective period is five years from date of importation for importer and five years after date on which certification of origin was completed, or longer as Party may specify. Records may be any medium, including electronic. Additional information can be found on the CBP website.
I qualified my goods; how do I make a claim?
Share a certificate of origin document with your broker that contains the minimum data elements required under Annex 5-A and request that they make claim with entry. If you’d like to use our tool to create a certificate, you may do so from the history tab “BOMs Previously Submitted.’
What are the requirements for a certificate of origin?
The nine requirements for a certificate of origin can be found in Annex5-A of the agreement. This information may be provided on an invoice or any other document. If you’d like to use our tool to create a certificate, you may do so from the history tab “BOMs Previously Submitted.’
How long will USMCA remain in force?
USMCA entered into force on July 1, 2020. A joint review of the agreement is set to take place six years after entry into force.
