When is NAFTA certificate necessary?

A NAFTA certificate is never necessary, but if your product has a reduced tariff under NAFTA, it is in your interest to go through the NAFTA certification process. Since we have MFN trading status with both Mexico and Canada, your tariff rate might already be 0%, without having to go through NAFTA certification. If your products are used by other US manufacturers who export to Canada and Mexico, they may request that you certify your goods so that they can in turn get preferential tariff treatment under NAFTA.
