CUSMA Certified refers to goods that have been certified as meeting the requirements of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), which is also known as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) in the United States and the Treaty between Mexico, the United States and Canada (T-MEC) in Mexico. CUSMA is a free trade agreement between Canada, the United States, and Mexico, which replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

When goods are labeled as “CUSMA Certified,” it means that they meet the specific rules of origin outlined in the agreement to qualify for preferential treatment, such as reduced or eliminated tariffs when traded between the member countries. To be considered CUSMA Certified, goods must meet certain criteria regarding their origin, content, and production processes, as defined by the agreement.

Obtaining CUSMA certification typically involves providing documentation, such as a Certificate of Origin (COO), to demonstrate that the goods meet the necessary requirements. This certification helps businesses take advantage of the benefits of CUSMA, such as improved market access and reduced trade barriers, while ensuring compliance with the agreement’s rules and regulations.
