USMCA Certification of Origin
A preferential origin claim for US–Mexico–Canada trade. There is no official form.
It needs nine data elements plus a certification statement. They can appear on any document, including the commercial invoice itself. This is a change from NAFTA, which had a set form.
The importer, exporter or producer may certify, and the document must state which. A blanket certification can cover identical goods for up to twelve months.
The records that support it must be kept for five years. In a verification, customs can ask for bills of materials and production records, not just the certificate.
Also called: CUSMA, T-MEC, USMCA certificate of origin.
