Important Notice:
Please note that the preparation of a NAFTA certificate of origin
confers certain legal rights, and imposes certain legal obligations
and liabilities on the party signing the document. Similar rights obligations and
liabilities attach to importers that claim NAFTA
treatment. Certificates of origin should therefore be based on a careful inquiry into
the terms of NAFTA. Certificates of origin must be
in the posetion of the importer at the time preferential treatment is claimed and shall
be presented to customs upon request. In order
to avoid denials of your NAFTA claims, we ask that you provide us with copies of your
certificate of origin prior to making entry. For further information concerning NAFTA and
certificates of origin, please contact Guillermo Valencia, Roberto Jaques or Luis Leyva.
Another Important Notice:
If you are the importer of record, payment to the broker will not
relieve you of liability for Customs charges (duties, taxes, or other debts owed Customs)
in the event the charges are not paid by the broker. Therefore, if you pay by check,
Customs charges may be paid with separate check payable to the "U.S. Customs
Service" which shall be delivered to Customs by the broker.

However, a power of attorney executed in favor of a licensed customhouse broker may specify that the power of attorney is granted to the customhouse broker to act through any of its licensed officers or any employee specifically authorized to act for such customhouse broker by power of attorney.
*Note: The corporate seal may be omitted. Customs does not require completion of a certification. The grantor has the option of executing the certification or omitting it.
Important Notice:
If you are the importer of record,
payment to the broker will not relieve you of liability for Customs charges (duties,
