Abstract: On December 17, 1992, the U.S., Mexico and Canada entered into an agreement, "The North American Free Trade Agreement" (NAFTA). The provisions of NAFTA were adopted by the U.S. with the enactment of the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act of 1993 (Pub. L. 103-182).
CBP Form 434, North American Free Trade Certificate of Origin, is used to certify that a good being exported either from the United States into Canada or Mexico or from Canada or Mexico into the United States qualifies as an originating good for purposes of preferential tariff treatment under the NAFTA. This form is completed by exporters and/or producers and furnished to CBP upon request. CBP Form 434 is provided for by 19 CFR 181.11, 181.22, and is accessible at: https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms.
CBP Form 446, NAFTA Verification of Origin Questionnaire, is used by CBP personnel to gather sufficient information from exporters and/or producers to determine whether goods imported into the United States qualify as originating goods for the purposes of preferential tariff treatment under NAFTA. CBP Form 446 is provided for by 19 CFR 181.72 and is accessible at: https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms.
CBP Form 447, North American Free Trade Agreement Motor Vehicle Averaging Election, is used to gather information required by 19 CFR 181 Appendix, Section 11, (2) "Information Required When Producer Chooses to Average for Motor Vehicles". This form is provided to CBP when a manufacturer chooses to average motor vehicles for the purpose of obtaining NAFTA preference. CBP Form 447 is accessible at: https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms.
The NAFTA treaty terminated on June 30, 2020. However, CBP processing of post summary corrections and other processing of entries filed on or before June 30, 2020, is expected to continue through June 30, 2021. After that, CBP will discontinue this information collection.
This information is collected from members of the trade community who are familiar with the CBP regulations.
