NAFTA/FTA Assistance for Companies of All Sizes

CurrencyIf your company has any customers in Canada or Mexico, or if you have a domestic customer who ships to one of those two countries, you’ve probably been asked for a North American Free Trade Agreement Certificate of Origin.  And depending on how much money these Canadian or Mexican customers can save in duties under NAFTA, the requests may be frequent and strongly worded.

Keep in mind, however, that not all products qualify for NAFTA.  And the same is true for any of the other new free trade agreements (FTAs) that the United States has become a part of.  If you incorrectly classify your products or incorrectly claim that your products qualify for a reduced or free tariff under a free trade agreement, your company—and the person who signed the form or made the claim—faces significant penalties.

International Business Training (IBT) provides a variety of resources to help you and your company understand NAFTA and the other modern free trade agreements, how to properly classify your products to determine whether or not they qualify under a free trade agreement, and how to complete the appropriate certificate of origin.  Just click on the title of the book, seminar or webinar that interests you for a more complete description of that product.
