Definitions
1. In this memorandum, any reference that is made to:

"geographic area" means any area within Costa Rica where companies are provided with the benefits of the Costa Rica Free Zone regime including income tax exemptions and subsidies.
General
2. Effective , the CCRFTA Non-entitlement to Preference Regulations (as reproduced in Appendix C) is repealed by the Regulations Repealing the CCRFTA Non-entitlement to Preference Regulations. Accordingly, goods previously deemed non-qualifying under the CCRFTA Non-entitlement to Preference Regulations may now be deemed as qualifying under the CCRFTA, as the companies listed in Appendix A of this memorandum, no longer receive the benefits of the Costa Rica Free Zone regime.
3. The CCRFTA Non-entitlement to Preference Regulations nevertheless remain applicable to any Canada-Costa Rica Free Trade Agreement (CCRFTA) originating good imported from Costa Rica cited in Appendix B of this memorandum that has undergone operations in a geographic area listed in Appendix A of this memorandum, and accounted for, on or before .
Goods accounted for on or before
4. The CCRFTA Non-entitlement to Preference Regulations establishes that listed goods, which although originating in accordance with the CCRFTA Rules of Origin Regulations, are deemed not to originate and are, therefore, not entitled to the Costa Rica Tariff (CRT) rate of customs duty if they have undergone operations in a specified Costa Rica Free Zone.
5. Appendix A, List of geographic areas – companies, sets out the geographic areas (i.e. a list of companies) that prior to , received the benefits of the Costa Rica Free Zone regime and, thus, are not entitled to the CRT.
6. Where CCRFTA originating goods are classified under any of the tariff item numbers set out in Appendix B, and the goods have undergone operations in a geographic area as listed in Appendix A, such goods are not entitled to the CRT. In these instances, the Most-Favoured Nation (MFN) rate is applied.
7. Where originating goods cited in Appendix B have not undergone operations in a geographic area listed in Appendix A, such goods may be entitled to the CRT only if the goods originate in accordance with the CCRFTA Rules of Origin Regulations. Further information concerning the rules of origin can be found in Memorandum D11-5-3, Canada–Costa Rica Free Trade Agreement (CCRFTA) – Rules of Origin. Importers must be in possession of a valid CCRFTA Certificate of Origin (form B246) when claiming the CRT.
8. Importers who possess a Certificate of Origin must ensure that the goods they have imported have not undergone operations in a geographic area listed in Appendix A. The Certificate of Origin contains fields where exporters and/or producers in Costa Rica must indicate whether they have benefited from the Costa Rica Free Zone regime. Further information concerning the Certificate of Origin can be found in Memorandum D11-4-2, Proof of Origin of Imported Goods, and Memorandum D11-4-14, Certification of Origin under Free Trade Agreements.
9. Importers are encouraged to consult Appendix A and Appendix B in conjunction with the Certificate of Origin to ensure that their imported goods meet the CCRFTA Rules of Origin Regulations and are entitled to the CRT.
10. The date of accounting of the goods on Form B3-3, Canada Customs Coding Form, will be the date considered when determining the entitlement of the CRT for companies cited in Appendix A and the goods listed in Appendix B.
Goods accounted for on or after
11. Goods exported from Costa Rica and accounted for on or after may be entitled to the CRT only if the goods originate in accordance with the CCRFTA Rules of Origin Regulations. Further information concerning the rules of origin can be found in Memorandum D11-5-3, Canada–Costa Rica Free Trade Agreement (CCRFTA) – Rules of Origin.
12. Importers must be in possession of a valid CCRFTA Certificate of Origin (form B246) when claiming the CRT.
