CUSMA – Update

While CUSMA is not yet ratified, it is expected that the tariff treatment codes for CUSMA will be:

• English: UST French: TEU – TT code 10
• Mexico: MXT French: TMX – TT code 11

Mexico-United States Tariff “(E) MUST (F) TMEU” (TT code 12) is repealed.

Please note that the abbreviation for the Mexico Tariff is changing from “MT” to “MXT”.

For goods that are released on or after the entry into force of the CUSMA, the Agreement will provide for two preferential tariffs only – either the United States Tariff (UST) or the Mexico Tariff (MXT) and will depend on the country of last production other than a minimal operation.

Minimal operations are described in  Chapter 2, National Treatment and Market Access, Annex 2-B, Tariff Schedule of Canada, page 2-B-3, beginning at paragraph 8.
