UI: Updated origin declaration form for imports from the EU 9. For more information on CETA`s origin quotas for textiles and apparel products and related authorization conditions, please refer to the Communication to Importers Serial Number 899 Textiles and Apparel Imported into Canada from the European Union and its Member States (Articles 86.98 and 86.99 on the Canadian Import Control List), published on the Global Affairs Canada website. Preferential treatment is based on a declaration and not on a formal certificate of origin. The origin declaration may appear on an invoice or other commercial document describing the goods accurately. Tereposky & DeRose LLP regularly advises on the application and use of provisions of international trade agreements, including CETA, NAFTA and the upcoming CPTPP. If you have any questions about potential opportunities under these trade agreements or other trade-related issues, we will be at your disposal. Preferential tariff treatment under CETA, which allows companies to import goods duty-free, does not automatically apply to all goods traded between Canada and the European Union. On the contrary, companies must ensure that their products are considered `originating products` in accordance with the rules of origin laid down in the CETA Protocol on Origin. Generally speaking, these product-specific rules require that originating products be “wholly obtained” or “sufficiently produced” in CETA countries. For more information on CETA`s rules of origin and how they work, see “Exploring New Opportunities for Trade in Goods under the CETA – So Easy as Apple Pie”.
1. The purpose of this Customs Communication is to inform you that the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada and the European Union will be implemented on September 21, 2017. With the exception of a small number of agricultural products, CETA will essentially eliminate tariffs on all imports from a European Union (EU) country or other CETA beneficiary, either immediately after the implementation of the agreement or through an exit from tariffs. 3. Information on CETA and the text of the agreement can be found on the Global Affairs Canada website. As you know, the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) entered into force on September 21, 2017 and removed tariffs on alcoholic beverages from the EU. Under the terms of the agreement, the exporter must complete an origin declaration form to confirm the proof of origin and must be submitted to the Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) prior to the adoption of import duties. . .
