Does anyone use the Net Cost method for calculating RVC? We have a manufacturing affiliate that makes the product and sells it to our selling company and because of this relationship we are required to use the ?RVC-Net Cost? method to determine NAFTA eligibility. We are wondering how other companies determine the total cost of […]
Could one of the members cite a rule or regulation which allows or restricts electronic signatures on NAFTA certificates? Not signed and scanned copies but true electronic signatures, thanks.
If a factory in Mexico gets a product as a return (RMA) from the original customer who purchased the item and the request from the customer is to upgrade the item from it’s current part number to a new part number, will this type of “rework”qualify under 19 CFR 10.8 as a repair or alteration? […]
I am validating 2008 NAFTA certificates from our CA and MX suppliers for our use when importing in 2008. Please correct me if I am wrong: #1: The Importer and Tax Id must list my company/tax id. Some of the certs have just “various”. Is “various” acceptable for me to use when claiming NAFTA? #2: […]
Can a NAFTA certificate of origin be lawfully issued based on a Transaction Value Regional Value Content analysis, assuming the rule of origin provides for it, when there is no “transaction value” for the underlying commercial transaction (i.e., between related parties where a computed or deductive customs valuation method is used)?
NAFTA – now that the harmonized tariff system has been updated what was a machine spare part – 8443.90 is either 8443.91 or 8443.99. However, NAFTA has not been updated to reflect these new harmonized numbers. How do I determine NAFTA eligibility?
I have four scenario’s, in each, am I considered the Producer for NAFTA? #1) I manufacture a (semi-liquid/semi-solid) product, then send out to a 3rd party to package. The 3rd Party only takes my material and puts it into syringes. Am I still considered the producer? #2) I manufacture a product, then send to a […]
We are pursuing 2008 NAFTA certificates for eligible parts from our Canadian suppliers. We have some suppliers that will only show a description of the product, and will not show our part number, or even their part number, on the NAFTA certificate. I am concerned for two reasons. 1) This makes it difficult for us […]
NAFTA has not been updated to meet the new tariff codes. Many of my product fell under 8443.90. They are now 8443.91 and 8443.99. Do I follow the same rules that applied to 8443.90 – a change to subheading 8443.90 (now 91 or 99) from any other heading.
I have a product that is 3215. NAFTA says a change from any other heading. There is a component or two in the bill of material that has a tariff code of 3215. I say it does not qualify which means a large financial hit to the individual member companies in MX and CA and […]
Does any one in the membership have a check list of items to validate when reviewing a suppliers NAFTA certificate of origin that they are willing to share?
Most of the products manufactured by my company are duty free according to the HTSUS. I get many requests from customers asking for NAFTA certificates for these products. Some of the customers tell me that they use them to get reduced VAT for Mexico and also for other programs such as the Buy American Act. […]
