INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE USMCA CERTIFICATION OF ORIGIN
Indicate the duration of the Certificate. The blanket period cannot exceed a period of one year.
Provide, if known, the Importer’s name, address, e‐mail address, and telephone number. The address of the importer shall be in a

Provide the Certifier’s company name, address (including country), e‐mail address, and telephone number.
Provide the Exporter’s name, address (including country), e‐mail address, and telephone number if different from the certifier.
This information is not required if the producer is completing the certification of origin and does not know the identity of the
exporter; state "Unknown." The address of the exporter shall be the place of export of the good in a Party’s territory. If the
information is the same as the Certifier, state "Same as Certifier."
Provide the Producer’s name, address (including country), e‐mail address, and telephone number, if different from the certifier or
exporter. If there are multiple producers, state “Various” or provide a list of producers. If this information is to remain
confidential, state “Available upon request by the importing authorities”. The address of a producer shall be the place of
production of the good in a Party’s territory. If the information is the same as the Certifier, state "Same as Certifier."
Identify the country of origin of the good using the ISO Country Code ("CA" or "US" or "MX")
Provide a description of the good. The description should be sufficient to relate it to the good covered by the certification.
Provide the Harmonized Tariff Schedule classification to the 6‐digit level for each good described in Field 5
Specify the origin criterion (A, B, C, or D) under which the good qualifies, as set out in Article 4.2 (Originating Goods):
A ‐ Wholly obtained or produced entirely in the territory of one or more of the Parties, as defined in Article 4.3 (Wholly Obtained
or Produced Goods)
B ‐ Produced entirely in the territory of one or more of the Parties using non‐originating materials provided the good satisfies all
applicable requirements of Annex 4‐B (Product‐Specific Rules of Origin)
C ‐ Produced entirely in the territory of one or more of the Parties exclusively from originating materials
D ‐ “Except for a good provided for in Chapter 61 to 63 of the Harmonized System:
(i) produced entirely in the territory of one or more of the Parties;
(ii) one or more of the non‐originating materials provided for as parts under the Harmonized System used in the production of
the good cannot satisfy the requirements set out in Annex 4‐B (Product‐Specific Rules of Origin) because both the good and its
materials are classified in the same subheading or same heading that is not further subdivided into subheadings or, the good was
imported into the territory of a Party in an unassembled or a disassembled form but was classified as an assembled good
pursuant to rule 2(a) of the General Rules of Interpretation of the Harmonized System; and
(iii) the regional value content of the good, determined in accordance with Article 4.5 (Regional Value Content), is not less than
60 percent if the transaction value method is used, or not less than 50 percent if the net cost method is used”
Specify Certifier's authority (in accordance with Article 5.2) for Certification of the good
(A, B, C, or D) based on the following.
SELECT ONLY ONE:
A ‐ Certifier is not the Producer, but has a certification or statement from the Producer*
B ‐ Certifier is the Importer**
C ‐ Certifier is the Exporter
D ‐ Certifier is the Producer
NOTE: Any good for which you are the Producer, always select Indicator D even if another indicator may apply
*All USMCA Certificates require a statement of the Certifier's status as either
Importer, Exporter, or Producer. A good listed with
an Indicator A should/will only ever be used as a supporting statement of USMCA eligibility and cannot be used as a basis to claim
USMCA preference on that good at time of entry. If the certifier or a recipient of this Certificate wishes to claim preferential
treatment on a good listed with an Indicator A, they must issue a new USMCA Certificate declaring themselves as either the
Exporter (Indicator C) or the Importer (Indicator B), as appropriate.
**Restrictions on use by country may apply, see Article 5.2
For each good described in Field #5, where the good is subject to a Regional Value Content (RVC) requirement, indicate "NC" if the
RVC was calculated according to the Net Cost method and "TV" if the good was calculated according to the Transaction Value
method. If the good was qualified via a tariff shift, indicate "TS." If Origin Criterion A or C, enter "NO."
This field must be completed, signed, and dated by the authorized Certifier. The date must be the date the Certificate was
completed and signed. Indicate Certifier's Company, Title, Telephone Number, and Email Address.
