Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) - Chapter 6 - Textile and Apparel Goods

Article 6.1: Rules of Origin and Related Matters

Application of Chapters 4 (Rules of Origin) and 5 (Origin Procedures)

1. Except as provided in this Chapter, Chapters 4 (Rules of Origin) and 5 (Origin Procedures) apply to textile and apparel goods.

De Minimis

2. A textile or apparel good classified in Chapters 50 through 60 or heading 96.19 of the Harmonized System that contains non-originating materials that do not satisfy the applicable change in tariff classification requirement specified in Annex 4-B (Product-Specific Rules of Origin), shall nonetheless be considered to be an originating good if the total weight of all those materials is not more than 10 percent of the total weight of the good, of which the total weight of elastomeric content may not exceed 7 percent of the total weight of the good, and the good meets all the other applicable requirements of this Chapter and Chapter 4 (Rules of Origin).

3. A textile or apparel good classified in Chapters 61 through 63 of the Harmonized System that contains non-originating fibers or yarns in the component of the good that determines the tariff classification of the good that do not satisfy the applicable change in tariff classification set out in Annex 4-B (Product-Specific Rules of Origin), shall nonetheless be considered to be an originating good if the total weight of all those fibers or yarns is not more than 10 percent of the total weight of that component, of which the total weight of elastomeric content may not exceed 7 percent of the total weight of the component, and the good meets all the other applicable requirements of this Chapter and Chapter 4 (Rules of Origin).

Treatment of Sets

4. Notwithstanding the product-specific rules of origin set out in Annex 4-B (Product-Specific Rules of Origin), textile and apparel goods put up in sets for retail sale, classified as a result of the application of Rule 3 of the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System, shall not be originating goods unless each of the goods in the set is an originating good or the total value of the non-originating goods in the set does not exceed 10 percent of the value of the set.

5. For the purposes of paragraph 4:

Article 6.2: Handmade, Traditional Folkloric, or Indigenous Handicraft Goods

1. An importing Party and an exporting Party may identify particular textile or apparel goods that they mutually agree are:

2. The goods identified pursuant to paragraph 1 shall be eligible for duty-free treatment by the importing Party provided that any requirements agreed by the importing and exporting Parties are met.

Article 6.3: Special Provisions

Annex 6-A (Special Provisions) sets out special provisions applicable to certain textile and apparel goods.

Article 6.4: Review and Revision of Rules of Origin

1. On request of a Party, the Parties shall consult to consider whether particular goods should be subject to different rules of origin to address issues of availability of supply of fibers, yarns, or fabrics in the territories of the Parties.

2. In the consultations, each Party shall consider the data presented by a Party showing substantial production in its territory of the particular good. The consulting Parties shall consider that substantial production has been shown if that Party demonstrates that its domestic producers are capable of supplying commercial quantities of the good in a timely manner. With a view to concluding consultations without delay, the Parties shall endeavor to make an initial assessment of the evidence available regarding whether the fiber, yarn, or fabric is commercially available in the territories of the Parties promptly and to the extent possible within 90 days.

3. If, based on the initial assessment, the Parties agree that the fiber, yarn, or fabric is not commercially available, the Parties shall endeavor to reach agreement promptly on a corresponding proposed product-specific rule change and, as appropriate, proceed with their respective domestic procedures for implementation. The Parties shall endeavor to conclude consultations within 60 days after the initial assessment. An agreement between the Parties shall supersede any prior rule of origin for such good when approved by each Party in accordance with any necessary legal procedures of each Party.

Article 6.5: Cooperation

1. The Parties shall cooperate, through information sharing and other activities as provided for in Article 7.25 (Regional and Bilateral Cooperation on Enforcement), Article 7.26 (Exchange of Specific Confidential Information), Article 7.27 (Customs Compliance Verification Requests), and Article 7.28 (Confidentiality between Parties), on matters related to trade in textile and apparel goods.

2. The Parties recognize that documents such as bills of lading, invoices, contracts of sale, purchase orders, packing lists, and other commercial documents are particularly important to detect, prevent, or address customs offenses related to trade in textile and apparel goods.

3. Each Party shall designate a contact point for information exchange and other cooperation activities related to trade in textile and apparel goods in accordance with Article 30.5 (Agreement Coordinator and Contact Points).

Article 6.6: Verification

1. An importing Party may, through its customs administration, conduct a verification with respect to a textile or apparel good pursuant to Article 5.9 (Origin Verification), and the associated procedures, to verify whether a good qualifies for preferential tariff treatment, or through a request for a site visit as described in this Article.Footnote 1

2. An importing Party may request a site visit under this Article from an exporter or producer of textile or apparel goods to verify whether:

3. During a site visit under paragraph 2, an importing Party may request access to:

4. If an importing Party seeks to conduct a site visit under paragraph 2, it shall provide the host Party, not later than 20 days prior to the date of the first visit to an exporter or producer, with:

5. If an importing Party seeks to conduct a site visit under paragraph 2, and does not provide the names of the exporters or producers 20 days prior to the site visit, it shall provide the host Party with a list of the names and addresses of the exporters or producers it proposes to visit, in a timely manner and prior to the date of the first visit to an exporter or producer under paragraph 2, to facilitate coordination, logistical support, and scheduling of the site visit.

6. The host Party shall promptly acknowledge receipt of the notification of a proposed site visit under paragraph 2, and may request information from the importing Party to facilitate planning of the site visit, such as logistical arrangements or provision of requested assistance.

7. If an importing Party seeks to conduct a site visit under paragraph 2:

8. On completion of a site visit under paragraph 2, the importing Party shall:

9. If an importing Party conducts a site visit under this Article and, as a result, intends to deny preferential tariff treatment to a textile or apparel good, it shall, prior to issuing a written determination, inform the importer and any exporter or producer that provided information directly to the importing Party, of the preliminary results of the verification and provide those persons with a notice of intent to deny that includes when the denial would be effective and a period of at least 30 days to submit additional information, including documents, to support the claim for preferential tariff treatment.

10. The importing Party shall not reject a claim for preferential tariff treatment on the sole grounds that the host Party does not provide requested assistance or information under this Article.

11. If verifications of identical textile or apparel goods by a Party indicate a pattern of conduct by an exporter or producer of false or unsupported representations that a textile or apparel good imported into its territory qualifies for preferential tariff treatment, the importing Party may withhold preferential tariff treatment to identical textile or apparel goods imported, exported, or produced by that person until it is demonstrated to the importing Party that those identical textile or apparel goods qualify for preferential tariff treatment. For the purposes of this paragraph, “identical textile or apparel goods” means textile or apparel goods that are the same in all respects, including physical characteristics, quality and reputation, irrespective of minor differences in appearance that are not relevant to a determination of origin of those goods.

Article 6.7: Determinations

The importing Party may deny a claim for preferential tariff treatment for a textile or apparel good:

Article 6.8: Committee on Textile and Apparel Trade Matters

1. The Parties hereby establish a Committee on Textile and Apparel Trade Matters, (Textiles Committee), composed of government representatives of each Party.

2. The Textiles Committee shall meet at least once within one year of the date of entry into force of this Agreement, and thereafter at such times as the Parties decide and on request of the Commission. The Committee shall meet at such venues and times as the Parties decide.

5. Prior to the entry into force of an amended version of the Harmonized System, the Committee shall consult to prepare proposed updates to this Chapter that are necessary to reflect changes to the Harmonized System.

Article 6.9: Confidentiality

The provisions set out in Article 5.12 (Confidentiality) apply to the information collected from a trader or provided by another Party under this Chapter.

ANNEX 6-A - SPECIAL PROVISIONS

Section A: Definitions

For the purposes of this Annex:

average yarn number means the average yarn number of the yarns contained within the good. In computing the average yarn number, the length of the yarn is considered to be equal to the distance covered by it in the fabric, with all clipped yarn being measured as if continuous and with the count being taken of the total single yarns in the fabric including the single yarns in any multiple (folded) or cabled yarns. The weight shall be taken after any excessive sizing is removed by boiling or other suitable process. Any one of the following formulas may be used to determine the average yarn number:

N = BYT / 1,000

N = 100T / Z'

N = BT / Z

N = ST / 10

where:

N is the average yarn number,

B is the breadth (width) of the fabric in centimeters,

Y is the meters (linear) of the fabric per kilogram,

T is the total single yarns per square centimeter,

S is the square meters of fabric per kilogram,

Z is the grams per linear meter of fabric, and

Z' is the grams per square meter of fabric,

and fractions in the resulting "average yarn number” shall be disregarded;

category means the 3-digit textile and apparel categories and the corresponding Harmonized System numbers set out in the Correlation: Textile and Apparel Categories with the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, or successor publication, published by the United States Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration, Office of Textiles and Apparel;

square meters equivalent (SME) means that unit of measurement that results from the application of the conversion factors set out in Annex 6-B (Conversion Factors) to a primary unit of measure such as unit, dozen, or kilogram; and
