With the introduction of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), shipping between the United States, Canada and Mexico has introduced new changes to the certificate of origin.
Exporters are no longer required to complete a formal certificate of origin. Instead, they can use informal documentation if all of the required data elements are present.
Additional details regarding the certificate of origin:
- The certificate of origin can now be completed by the importer, exporter, or producer
- Certification documentation must be kept for a period of no less than 5 years
