| Expanded NAFTA Rules of Origin |
|
(Toronto, January 19, 2005)... On January 1, 2005 Canada implemented measures to liberalize the NAFTA rules of origin applicable to tea, spices, carrageenan, seasonings, precious metals, speed drive controllers and their printed assemblies, household appliances, loudspeakers, thermostats, parts for various machinery and equipment and toys.
These new rules, issued to further stimulate North American trade, will make it easier for manufacturers to meet the NAFTA rules of origin and obtain duty-free treatment under NAFTA.
To review these changes to Annex 401 of the NAFTA Agreement, refer to:
