Completing a Valid Certificate
This tutorial is a step-by-step guide to help you understand how to complete
an accurate and valid NAFTA certificate.
With the implementation of AMPS (Administrative Monetary Penalty System)
it is important to have fully completed and accurate certificates on file
to ensure compliance.
Invalid NAFTA certificates of origin are one of the largest areas of
concern for non-compliance. To claim the duty free status, a valid certificate
must be on file. Anything less is unacceptable and subject to penalty
assessment.

valid NAFTA certificate on file for any goods claiming the duty free rate
of duty under NAFTA.
Exporters, producers or manufacturers are responsible for determining
qualification under NAFTA and completing an accurate certificate.
