Fill in the form. Get a complete, properly structured certificate you can send with your shipment.
CUSMA — the Canada–United States–Mexico Agreement — lets goods that count as North American cross those borders duty-free. To claim it, the importer has to hold a certification of origin: a signed document from the exporter, producer, or importer saying what the goods are and on what basis they qualify.
There is no official government form. Customs simply requires that a specific set of data elements is present, complete, and signed. A certificate that leaves some of them out is the usual reason a duty-free claim gets questioned at the border.
This tool lays out all nine elements from Annex 5-A in a clean, audit-ready document — the parties, the goods, the HS classifications, the origin criteria, the prescribed certification wording, and the signature block — and gives you a PDF.
This tool prepares the document. It does not decide whether your goods qualify.
Choosing the right HS classification and the right origin criterion is a judgment call about your product and your supply chain, and under CUSMA it is the certifier — you — who carries responsibility for it and who must be able to back it up if customs asks.
We do not verify HS codes, check origin criteria, or assess eligibility. If you are not certain your product qualifies, or which criterion applies, speak to a licensed customs broker or a trade lawyer before you sign. This is not legal advice.
