Guidelines

Non-compliance occurs when, upon request, the exporter or the producer of goods fails to provide the completed and signed certificate of origin to the officer.

Applied against the producer of goods or the exporter.

Officer must first request the certificate of origin.

This requirement ensures that Canadian exporters are following bi-lateral agreements.

Apply a penalty per request.
