NAFTA Certificates of Origin - Download Form. The historic North American Free Trade Agreement, in effect since January 1994, allows substantial benefits for importers and exporters in Mexico, Canada, and the United States for goods originating in the three nations. These benefits of Customs duty reduction and elimination depend upon an exporter's declaration or the origin of the goods, called the NAFTA Certificate of Origin. This new certificate must be completed by the U.S. Exporter, and must be in the possession of the Canadian or Mexican importer at the time the declaration is made to either Revenue Canada, Customs and Excise (Canadian Customs) or the Secretaria de Hacienda y Credito Publico (Mexican Customs). The U.S. exporter is responsible for determining the eligibility of the goods for NAFTA treatment and for providing the Importer with the certificate.
