Dear Southco Supplier,
As you are probably aware, under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), products manufactured or sold by our company can be imported to Canada and Mexico at lower duty rates if our products satisfy the country of origin requirements of that Agreement.
Your organization supplies Southco Inc. with parts, components or raw materials that are used in the manufacturing process and/or supplied to us as finished goods or parts which we resell. The Canadian and Mexican governments require that we obtain certificates of origin for parts and finished goods from designated Southco Inc. suppliers in order to determine eligibility of our products under NAFTA.
Please return the completed Manufacturer’s Affidavit “Appendix A” scm@southco.com, or by regular mail to P.O. Box 0116, Concordville, PA 19331.
It must be completed and executed by an authorized representative of your company. Please add any new part numbers to the certificate. We have taken the liberty of listing the part numbers of components or raw materials that have been or will be purchased from your organization. Please take a moment to review this list, correcting any inaccuracies you may discover. You can assign the Harmonized Tariff Code (HTS) numbers if known. The
Country of Origin (CO) all the items are required. Also, identify whether you are the manufacturer or not, Yes or
No.
If you have any questions, the US Customs Service has established a website, www.tradeinfo.doc.gov
– NAFTA
Information, to assist companies technically with regard to U.S. Customs laws and NAFTA, as they relate to goods imported into the United States. Please feel free to also contact me with any questions you may have.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Delesha Blackwell
