Does our product qualify for NAFTA if made in the United States?
Not automatically. The product must meet NAFTA rules of origin to qualify. There is a clear distinction in 'origin of goods' versus 'originating in a North American country.' Rules of origin are designed to ensure NAFTA benefits are accorded only to goods produced in the North American region, not goods made wholly or in a large part in other countries. The rules of origin specify that goods originate in North America if they are wholly North American. Goods containing non-regional materials are also considered to be North American if the non-regional materials are sufficiently transformed in the NAFTA region so as to undergo a specified change in tariff classification.
