Cape Dorset Airport Zoning Regulations SCHEDULE
SCHEDULE (Sections 1 and 2)
In this schedule, all grid coordinates are in metres (m) and refer to the 1983 North American Datum, Zone 18, Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection. Grid coordinates have been computed using a combined average scale factor of 0.9996563. In this schedule, all elevation values are in metres (m) and are based on the Canadian Geodetic Vertical Datum (CGVD28).
PART 1
Airport Reference Point The airport reference point, as shown on the zoning plan, is the geometric centre of the runway thresholds, at grid coordinates 7 123 555.931 N, 426 034.620 E (latitude 64°13′49″ N, longitude 76°31′30″ W). It is located on the centre line of the strip surface at a distance of 668.70 m from the end of the strip surface associated with runway 13-31, and its assigned elevation is 46.72 m above sea level.
PART 2
Approach Surfaces The approach surfaces, as shown on the zoning plan, are described as follows: (a) an imaginary inclined surface abutting the end of the strip surface associated with runway approach 13 and ascending, from an assigned elevation of 46.57 m above sea level, at a ratio of 1 m measured vertically to 30 m measured horizontally, to an imaginary horizontal line drawn at right angles to the projected centre line of the strip surface and distant 2 500 m measured horizontally from the end of the strip surface; the outer ends of the imaginary horizontal line being 295 m from the projected centre line and 83.33 m above the assigned elevation at the end of the strip surface associated with runway approach 13; and (b) an imaginary inclined surface abutting the end of the strip surface associated with runway approach 31 and ascending, from an assigned elevation of 42.26 m above sea level, at a ratio of 1 m measured vertically to 30 m measured horizontally, to an imaginary horizontal line drawn at right angles to the projected centre line of the strip surface and distant 2 500 m measured horizontally from the end of the strip surface; the outer ends of the imaginary horizontal line being 295 m from the projected centre line and 83.33 m above the assigned elevation at the end of the strip surface associated with runway approach 31.
The elevation of an approach surface at any point is equal to the elevation of the nearest point on the centre line of that approach surface. The elevation of an approach surface centre line is calculated from the elevation of the abutting end of the

strip surface, and increases at the constant ratios set out in this Part.
PART 3
Outer Surface The outer surface, as shown on the zoning plan, is an imaginary surface extending outward from the airport reference point to a radius of 4 000 m. It is situated at a constant elevation of 45 m above the airport reference point, but at 9 m above the ground when that elevation would place the outer surface at less than 9 m above the ground.
PART 4
Strip Surface The elevation of a strip surface at any point is equal to the elevation of the nearest point on the centre line of that strip surface. The elevation of the strip surface centre line between the strip surface end and the closest strip surface threshold is equal to the elevation of the strip surface end. The strip surface centre line between the strip surface thresholds is divided into segments, each of which has a slope that increases or decreases at the constant ratio set out in Column 7 of the table to this Part. The elevation of any point along a segment is calculated using the data set out in that table. The strip surface, as shown on the zoning plan, is an imaginary rectangular surface described as follows: the strip surface associated with runway 13-31 is 90 m in total width, being 45 m on either side of the centre line of the runway. The strip surface commences 60 m to the northwest of threshold 13 and ends 60 m to the southeast of threshold 31, having a total length of 1 337.40 m. The 13 end of the strip surface has an assigned elevation of 46.57 m and the 31 end of the strip surface has an assigned elevation of 42.26 m. The azimuth of the centre line of runway 13-31 is S 51°10′07″ E. Threshold 13 has grid coordinates of 7 123 937.47 N and 425 560.61 E, and threshold 31 has grid coordinates of 7 123 174.39 N and 426 508.63 E.

Transitional Surfaces Each transitional surface, as shown on the zoning plan, is an imaginary inclined surface ascending at a ratio of 1 m measured vertically to 7 m measured horizontally at right angles to the centre line and projected centre line of the strip surface, extending upward and outward from the lateral limits of the strip surface and its approach surfaces to the intersection with the outer surface. The elevation of a point on the lower edge of a transitional surface abutting a strip surface is equal to the elevation of the nearest point on the centre line of the abutting strip surface. The elevation of a point on the lower edge of a transitional surface abutting an approach surface is equal to the elevation of the nearest point on the centre line of the abutting approach surface.
PART 6
Limit of Area Containing Lands to Which These Regulations Apply The limit of the area containing the lands to which these Regulations apply is defined by a circle with a radius of 4 000 m centred on the airport reference point, as shown on the zoning plan.

PART 2
Cooperative Names Interpretation 8 (1) The following definitions apply in this Part.
distinctive, in relation to a trade-name, considered as a whole and by its separate elements, means a trade-name that distinguishes the business in association with which it is used or intended to be used by its owner from any other business or that is adapted to so distinguish them. (distinctive) official mark means an official mark referred to in subparagraph 9(1)(n)(iii) of the Trademarks Act. (marque officielle) trademark means a trademark as defined in section 2 of the Trademarks Act. (marque de commerce) trade-name means a name that has been reserved by the Director under section 22 of the Act, or the name under which a business is carried on, or intended to be carried on, whether it is a corporate name or the name of a body corporate, trust, partnership, sole proprietorship or individual. (dénomination commerciale) use means the actual use by a person that carries on business in Canada or elsewhere. (emploi)
(2) For greater certainty, this Part applies to the cooperative name of an amalgamated cooperative. SOR/2001-513, s. 6; SOR/2010-72, s. 3; 2014, c. 20, s. 366(E).
Confusing Names 9 A cooperative name is confusing with (a) a trademark or official mark if it is the same as
that trademark or official mark or if the use of both the cooperative name and either the trademark or the official mark, as the case may be, is likely to lead to the inference that the business carried on or intended to be carried on under the cooperative name and the business connected with the trademark or official mark, as the case may be, are one business, whether or
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on January 15, 2020
Canada Cooperatives Regulations PART 2 Cooperative Names Confusing Names Sections 9-11
not the nature of the business of each is generally the same; or (b) a trade-name if it is the same as that trade-name or if the use of both names is likely to lead to the inference that the business carried on or intended to be carried on under the cooperative name and the business carried on under the trade-name are one business, whether or not the nature of the business of each is generally the same. SOR/2010-72, s. 3; 2014, c. 20, s. 366(E).
10 For the purpose of paragraph 23(a) of the Act, a cooperative name is prohibited if its use causes confusion with a trademark, official mark or trade-name, having regard to the circumstances, including (a) the inherent distinctiveness of the whole or any element of the trademark, official mark or trade-name and the extent to which it has become known; (b) the length of time that the trademark, official
mark or trade-name has been in use; (c) the nature of the goods, services or business with which the trademark, official mark or trade-name is associated; (d) the nature of the trade with which the trademark,
official mark or trade-name is associated; (e) the degree of resemblance between the proposed
cooperative name and the trademark, official mark or trade-name in appearance or sound or in the ideas suggested by them; and (f) the geographical area in Canada in which the trade
name or proposed cooperative name is likely to be used. SOR/2010-72, s. 3; 2014, c. 20, s. 366(E).

(Loi) APR means the cost of borrowing for a loan under a credit agreement expressed as an annual rate on the principal referred to in subsection 3(1). (TAC) borrower includes a person to whom a loan is proposed to be made and a holder, or an applicant to become a holder, of a credit card. (emprunteur) credit agreement includes an agreement for a line of credit, a credit card or any kind of loan. (convention de crédit) disbursement charge means a charge, other than one referred to in subsection 5(1), to recover an expense incurred by a bank to arrange, document, insure or secure a credit agreement. It includes a charge referred to in paragraphs 5(2)(c) and (f) to (h). (frais de débours) hypothec means a hypothec on immovable property. (hypothèque) principal means the amount borrowed under a credit agreement but does not include any cost of borrowing.

Cost of Borrowing Calculation 3 (1) For the purpose of section 451 of the Act, the cost
of borrowing for a loan under a credit agreement, other than a loan obtained through the use of a credit card or line of credit, is to be expressed as an annual rate on the principal, as follows: APR = (C/(T×P)) × 100
where APR
is the annual percentage rate cost of borrowing;
C
is an amount that represents the cost of borrowing within the meaning of section 5 over the term of the loan;
P
is the average of the principal of the loan outstanding at the end of each period for the calculation of interest under the credit agreement, before subtracting any payment that is due at that time; and
T
is the term of the loan in years, expressed to at least two decimal points of significance.
(2) For the purpose of the APR calculation under subsection (1), (a) the APR may be rounded off to the nearest eighth of a per cent; (b) each instalment payment made on a loan must be
applied first to the accumulated cost of borrowing and then to the outstanding principal; (c) a period of (i) one month is 1/12 of a year, (ii) one week is 1/52 of a year, and (iii) one day is 1/365 of a year; (d) if the annual interest rate underlying the calculation is variable over the period of the loan, it must be

Cost of Borrowing (Banks) Regulations Cost of Borrowing Calculation Sections 3-5
set as the annual interest rate that applies on the day that the calculation is made; (e) if there are no instalment payments under a credit
agreement, then the APR must be calculated on the basis that the outstanding principal is to be repaid in one lump sum at the end of the term of the loan; and (f) a credit agreement for an amount that comprises, in whole or in part, an outstanding balance from a prior credit agreement is a new credit agreement for the purpose of the calculation.
(3) For the purpose of section 451 of the Act, the cost of borrowing for a loan obtained under a credit card agreement or line of credit is to be expressed as an annual rate, as follows: (a) if the loan has a fixed annual interest rate, that annual interest rate; or (b) if the loan has a variable interest rate, the annual
interest rate that applies on the date of the disclosure.
Annual Interest Rate 4 The APR for a credit agreement is the annual interest rate if there is no cost of borrowing other than interest.

a loan under a credit agreement, other than an agreement for a credit card or line of credit, consists of all the costs of borrowing under the loan over its term, in particular the interest or discount that applies to the loan in accordance with section 449 of the Act, and including the following charges: (a) administrative charges, including charges for services, transactions or any other activity in relation to the loan; (b) charges for the services, or disbursements, of a lawyer or notary that a bank required the borrower to retain; (c) insurance charges other than those excluded under paragraphs (2)(a), (f) and (h);

360 days and not more than 366 days; and (e) if the annual interest rate that applies on the date
of the supplementary disclosure statement, other than a variable interest rate referred to in subparagraph 11(1)(a)(ii) or an interest rate that has been disclosed to a borrower under subsection (3), could increase in the next period, the circumstances that

would give rise to that increase and any new rate of interest that would apply in the next period as a result of the increase. (6) For the purpose of paragraph (5)(a), an itemized
statement of account is adequate if it permits the borrower to verify each transaction described by linking it with a transaction record provided to the borrower. (7) The estimate referred to in paragraph (5)(d) is not required to be provided if the borrower is required to pay the outstanding balance in full on receiving a statement of account. (8) The supplementary disclosure statement is not required to be provided for a period during which there have been no advances or payments and (a) there is no outstanding balance at the end of the period; or (b) the borrower has notice that their credit agreement has been suspended or cancelled due to default and the bank has demanded payment of the outstanding balance. (9) The supplementary disclosure statement may be provided once in a three-month period, either in respect of that period or in respect of the last month of that period, if, during that period, (a) there have been no advances or payments; (b) there is an outstanding balance of less than $10;
and (c) no interest or fee is being charged or accrued. SOR/2009-258, ss. 7, 12(F); SOR/2014-273, s. 8(F).

(d) if the annual interest rate underlying the calculation is variable over the period of the loan, it must be set as the annual interest rate that applies on the day that the calculation is made; (e) if there are no instalment payments under a credit
agreement, then the APR must be calculated on the basis that the outstanding principal is to be repaid in one lump sum at the end of the term of the loan; and (f) a credit agreement for an amount that comprises, in whole or in part, an outstanding balance from a prior credit agreement is a new credit agreement for the purpose of the calculation. (3) For the purpose of section 600 of the Act, the cost of

calculate the regional value content over a period, the total cost is to be calculated over that period; and (b) in any other case, the producer may elect that the
total cost be calculated over (i) a one-month period, (ii) any consecutive three- or six-month period that
falls within and is evenly divisible into the number of months of the producer’s fiscal year remaining at the beginning of that period, or (iii) the producer’s fiscal year.
Election not modifiable (8) An election made under subsection (7) may not be rescinded or modified with respect to the good or material, or the period, with respect to which the election is made. Election considered made — period (9) If a producer chooses a one-, three- or six-month period under subsection (7) with respect to a good or material, the producer is considered to have chosen under that subsection a period or periods of the same duration for the remainder of the producer’s fiscal year with respect to that good or material.
Election considered made — cost (10) With respect to a good exported to a CUSMA country, an election to average is considered to have been made (a) in the case of an election referred to in subsection 16(1), if the election is received by the customs administration of that CUSMA country; and (b) in the case of an election referred to in subsection (7), 7(15) or 16(10), if the customs administration of that CUSMA country is informed in writing during the course of a verification of origin of the good that the election has been made.
Conversion of currency 2 (1) If the value of a good or a material is expressed in a currency other than the currency of the country where the producer of the good is located, that value must be converted to the currency of the country in which that producer is located based on the following rates of exchange: (a) in the case of the sale of that good or the purchase of that material, the rate of exchange used by the

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 2 Originating Goods Section 3
(ii) used goods collected in the territory of one or more of the CUSMA countries, provided that the goods are fit only for the recovery of raw materials; or (k) a good produced in the territory of one or more of the CUSMA countries, exclusively from a good referred to in any of paragraphs (a) to (j), or from their derivatives, at any stage of production.
Goods produced from non-originating materials (2) A good, produced entirely in the territory of one or
more of the CUSMA countries, is originating in the territory of a CUSMA country if each of the non-originating materials used in the production of the good satisfies all applicable requirements of Schedule 1 and the good satisfies all other applicable requirements of these Regulations. Goods produced exclusively from originating materials (3) A good is originating in the territory of a CUSMA
country if the good is produced entirely in the territory of one or more of the CUSMA countries exclusively from originating materials and the good satisfies all other applicable requirements of these Regulations. Exceptions to change in tariff classification requirements (4) Except in the case of a good of any of Chapters 61 through 63, a good is originating in the territory of a CUSMA country if (a) one or more of the non-originating materials used
in the production of that good cannot satisfy the change in tariff classification requirements set out in Schedule 1 because both the good and its materials are classified in the same subheading or same heading that is not further subdivided into subheadings and (i) the good is produced entirely in the territory of one or more of the CUSMA countries, (ii) the regional value content of the good, calculated in accordance with section 7, is not less than 60% if the transaction value method is used or not less than 50% if the net cost method is used, and (iii) the good satisfies all other applicable requirements of these Regulations; or (b) the good was imported into the territory of a CUSMA country in an unassembled or disassembled form but was classified as an assembled good in accordance
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 2 Originating Goods Section 3
with Rule 2(a) of the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System and (i) the good is produced entirely in the territory of one or more of the CUSMA countries, (ii) the regional value content of the good, calculated in accordance with section 7, is not less than 60% if the transaction value method is used or not less than 50% if the net cost method is used, and (iii) the good satisfies all other applicable requirements of these Regulations.
Interpretation — goods and parts of goods (5) For the purposes of paragraph (4)(a), (a) the determination of whether a heading or subheading provides for a good and its parts is to be made on the basis of the nomenclature of the heading or subheading and the relevant Section Notes or Chapter Notes, in accordance with the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System; and (b) if, in accordance with the Harmonized System, a
heading includes parts of goods by application of a Section Note or Chapter Note of the Harmonized System and the subheadings under that heading do not include a subheading designated “Parts”, a subheading designated “Other” under that heading is considered to cover only the goods and parts of the goods that are themselves classified under that subheading.
Requirements to meet one rule (6) For the purposes of subsection (2), if Schedule 1 sets
out two or more alternative rules for the tariff provision under which a good is classified and the good satisfies the requirements of one of those rules, the good need not satisfy the requirements of another of the rules in order to qualify as an originating good. Special rule for certain goods (7) A good is originating in the territory of a CUSMA
country if the good is referred to in Schedule 2 and is imported from the territory of a CUSMA country. Self-produced material — considered material (8) For the purpose of determining whether non-originating materials undergo an applicable change in tariff classification, a self-produced material may, at the choice of the producer of that material, be considered a material
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 2 Originating Goods Section 3
used in the production of a good into which the self-produced material is incorporated. Examples (9) Each of the following is an “Example” as referred to in subsection 1(4).
Example 1 (subsection (2)): The component that determines the tariff classification of a textile or apparel good Producer A, located in a CUSMA country, produces women’s wool overcoats of subheading 6202.11 from two different fabrics, one for the body and another for the sleeves. Both fabrics are produced using originating and non-originating materials. The overcoat’s body is made of woven wool and silk fabric, and the sleeves are made of knit cotton fabric. For the purpose of determining if the women’s wool overcoats are originating goods, Producer A must take into account Note 2 of Chapter 62 of Schedule 1, which indicates that the applicable rule will apply only to the component that determines the tariff classification of the good and that the component must satisfy the tariff change requirements set out in the rule for that good. The woven fabric (80% wool and 20% silk) used for the body is the component of the women’s wool overcoat that determines its tariff classification in subheading 6202.11 because it constitutes the predominant material by weight and makes up the largest surface area of the overcoat. This fabric is made by Producer A from originating wool yarn classified in heading 51.06 and nonoriginating silk yarn classified in heading 50.04. Since the knit cotton fabric used in the sleeves is not the component that determines the tariff classification of the good, it does not need to meet the requirements set out in the rule for the good. Producer A must determine whether the non-originating materials used in the production of the component that determines the tariff classification of the women’s wool overcoats (the woven fabric) satisfy the requirements established in the product-specific rule of origin, which requires both a change in tariff classification from any other Chapter, except from some headings and Chapters under which certain yarns and fabrics are classified, and that the good be cut or knit to shape and sewn or otherwise assembled in the territory of one or more of the CUSMA countries. The non-originating silk yarn of heading 50.04 used by Producer A satisfies the change in tariff classification requirement, since heading 50.04 is not excluded under the product-specific rule of origin. Additionally, the overcoats are cut and sewn
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 2 Originating Goods Section 3
in the territory of one of the CUSMA countries, and therefore the women’s wool overcoats would be considered to be originating goods. Example 2 (subsection (2)): Producer A, located in a CUSMA country, produces tshirts of subheading 6109.10 from knit cotton and polyester fabric (60% cotton and 40% polyester), which are also produced by Producer A using originating cotton yarn of heading 52.05 and polyester yarn made of non-originating filaments of heading 54.02. As the t-shirt is made of a single fabric and classified under Rule 1 of the General Rules of Interpretation of the Harmonized System in subheading 6109.10, this fabric is the component that determines tariff classification. Therefore, to be considered originating by application of the tariff-shift rule for subheading 6109.10, each of the non-originating materials used in the production of the t-shirt must undergo the required change in tariff classification. In this case, the non-originating polyester filaments of heading 54.02 used in the production of the t-shirts do not satisfy the change in tariff classification set out in the product-specific rule of origin. In addition, the weight of the non-originating polyester is over the de minimis allowance. Therefore, the t-shirts do not qualify as originating goods. Example 3 (subsection (2)): Note 2 contained in Section XI – Textiles and Textile Articles (Chapters 50 through 63) Producer A, located in a CUSMA country, produces fabrics of subheading 5211.42 from originating cotton and polyester yarns and non-originating rayon filament. For the purpose of determining if the fabrics are originating goods, Producer A must consider Note 2 of Section XI of Schedule 1, which indicates goods classified in any of Chapters 50 through 63 is considered to be originating, regardless of whether the rayon filaments used in its production are non-originating materials, if the good meets the requirements of the applicable productspecific rule of origin. With the exception of the rayon filaments of heading 54.03, that Note 2 of Section XI of Schedule 1 allows, all of the materials used in the production of the fabrics are originating materials, and since General Interpretative Note (d) of Schedule 1 provides that a change in tariff classification requirement of a product-specific rule of origin applies only to non-originating materials, the fabrics are considered to be originating goods.
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 2 Originating Goods Section 3
Example 4 (subsection (2)): Notes 2 and 5 of Chapter 62 regarding the interpretation of the component that determines the tariff classification and the requirement for pockets. Producer A, located in a CUSMA country, produces men’s suits classified in subheading 6203.12, which are made of three fabrics: a non-originating fabric of subheading 5407.61 used to make a visible lining, an originating fabric of subheading 5514.41 used to make the outer part of the suit and a non-originating fabric of subheading 5513.21 used to make pocket bags. For the purpose of determining if the men’s suits are originating goods, Producer A should take into account Note 2 of Chapter 62 of Schedule 1, which indicates that the applicable rule will apply only to the component that determines the tariff classification of the good and that the component must satisfy the tariff change requirements set out in the rule for that good. The originating fabric used to make the outer part of the suit is the component of the suit that determines the tariff classification in subheading 6203.12 because it constitutes the predominant material by weight and makes up the largest surface area of the suit. The origin of the fabric used as visible lining is disregarded for the purpose of determining whether the suit is an originating good since that fabric is not considered the component that determines the tariff classification and there are no Chapter Notes related to visible lining for apparel goods. Additionally, Producer A uses a non-originating fabric of subheading 5513.21 for the pocket bags of the suits, so Producer A should take into account the second paragraph of Note 5 of Chapter 62 of Schedule 1, which requires that the pocket bag fabric must be formed and finished in the territory of one or more of the CUSMA countries from yarn wholly formed in one or more of the CUSMA countries. In this case, for the production of men’s suits, Producer A uses non-originating fabric for the pocket bag, and that fabric was not formed and finished in the territory of one or more of the CUSMA countries; therefore, the suits would be considered to be non-originating goods. Example 5 (subsection (7)): A wholesaler located in CUSMA Country A imports nonoriginating storage units provided for in subheading 8471.70 from outside the territory of the CUSMA countries. The wholesaler resells the storage units to a buyer in CUSMA Country B. While in the territory of Country A, the storage units do not undergo any production and therefore do not meet the rule in Schedule 1 for goods of
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 2 Originating Goods Sections 3-4
subheading 8471.70 when imported into the territory of CUSMA Country B. Despite the rule in Schedule 1, the storage units of subheading 8471.70 are considered originating goods when they are imported into the territory of CUSMA Country B because they are referred to in Schedule 2 and were imported from the territory of another CUSMA country. The buyer in CUSMA Country B subsequently uses the storage units provided for in subheading 8471.70 as a material in the production of another good. For the purpose of determining whether the other good is originating, the buyer in CUSMA Country B may treat the storage units of subheading 8471.70 as originating materials. Example 6 (subsection (8)): Self-produced materials as materials for the purpose of determining whether nonoriginating materials undergo an applicable change in tariff classification Producer A, located in a CUSMA country, produces Good A. In the production process, Producer A uses the originating Material X and the non-originating Material Y to produce Material Z. Material Z is a self-produced material that will be used to produce Good A. The rule set out in Schedule 1 for the heading under which Good A is classified specifies a change in tariff classification from any other heading. In this case, both Good A and the non-originating Material Y are of the same heading. However, the self-produced Material Z is classified in a different heading than that of Good A. For the purpose of determining whether the non-originating materials that are used in the production of Good A undergo the applicable change in tariff classification, Producer A has the option of considering the self-produced Material Z to be the material that must undergo a change in tariff classification. As Material Z is classified in a different heading than that of Good A, Material Z satisfies the requirements of the applicable change in tariff classification and Good A would qualify as an originating good. Treatment of recovered materials used in production of remanufactured good 4 (1) A recovered material derived in the territory of one
or more of the CUSMA countries is treated as originating provided that (a) it is the result of a disassembly process of a used good into individual parts;
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 2 Originating Goods Section 4
(b) it has undergone certain processing such as cleaning, inspection, testing or other improvement processing to ensure sound working condition; and (c) it is used in the production of and incorporated into a remanufactured good. Recovered material not used in remanufactured good (2) In the case that the recovered material is not used or
incorporated in the production of a remanufactured good, it is originating only if it satisfies the requirements of section 3 and it satisfies all other applicable requirements of these Regulations. Requirements of Schedule 1 (3) A remanufactured good is originating in the territory
of a CUSMA country only if it satisfies the applicable requirements established in Schedule 1 and satisfies all other applicable requirements of these Regulations. Examples (4) Each of the following examples is an “Example” as referred to in subsection 1(4).
Example 1: In July 2023, Producer A located in a CUSMA country manufactures water pumps of subheading 8413.30 for use in automotive engines. In addition to selling new water pumps, Producer A also sells water pumps that incorporate used parts. To obtain the used parts, Producer A disassembles used water pumps in a CUSMA country and cleans, inspects, and tests the individual parts. Accordingly, these parts qualify as recovered materials. The water pumps that Producer A manufactures incorporate the recovered materials, have the same life expectancy and performance as new water pumps and are sold with a warranty that is similar to the warranty for new water pumps. The water pumps therefore qualify as remanufactured goods and the recovered materials are treated as originating materials when determining whether the good qualifies as an originating good. In this case, because the water pumps are for use in an automotive good, the provisions of Part 6 apply. Because the water pump is a part listed in Table B of Part 6, the RVC required is 70% under the net cost method or 80% under the transaction value method.
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 2 Originating Goods Section 4
The producer chooses to calculate the regional value content of the good under the net cost method as follows: Water pump net cost = Value of originating recovered materials =
$ 1,000 $600
Value other originating materials =
$20
Value of non-originating materials =
$280
RVC
=
(NC − VNM) ÷ NC × 100
=
($1,000 − $280) ÷ $1,000 × 100 = 72%
The remanufactured water pumps are originating goods because their regional value content exceeds the 70% requirement by net cost method. Example 2: Producer A, located in a CUSMA country, uses recovered materials derived in the territory of a CUSMA country in the production of self-propelled bulldozers classified in subheading 8429.11. In the production of the bulldozers, Producer A uses recovered engines classified in heading 84.07. The engines are recovered materials because they are disassembled from used bulldozers in a CUSMA country and then subject to cleaning, inspecting and technical tests to verify that they are in sound working condition. In addition to the recovered materials, other non-originating materials classified in subheading 8413.91 are also used in the production of the bulldozers. Producer A’s bulldozers are considered a remanufactured good because they are classified in a tariff provision set out in the definition of remanufactured good, are partially composed of recovered materials, have a similar life expectancy and perform the same as or similar to new self-propelled bulldozers and have a factory warranty similar to new self-propelled bulldozers.
Once the recovered engines are used in the production of, and incorporated into, the remanufactured bulldozers, the recovered engines would be treated considered as originating materials for the purpose of determining if the remanufactured bulldozers are originating. The rule of origin set out in Schedule 1 for subheading 8429.11 specifies a change in tariff classification from any other subheading. In this case, because the recovered engines are treated as originating materials, and the non-originating materials, classified in subheading 8413.91, satisfy the
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 2 Originating Goods Sections 4-5
requirements set out in Schedule 1, the remanufactured bulldozers are originating goods.
De minimis rule — non-originating materials 5 (1) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (3), a good is originating in the territory of a CUSMA country if (a) the value of all non-originating materials that are used in the production of the good and that do not undergo an applicable change in tariff classification as a result of production occurring entirely in the territory of one or more of the CUSMA countries is not more than 10% (i) of the transaction value of the good determined in accordance with Schedule 3 and adjusted to exclude any costs incurred in the international shipment of the good, or (ii) of the total cost of the good; (b) if the good is also subject to a regional value content requirement under the rule in which the applicable change in tariff classification is specified, the value of those non-originating materials is taken into account in calculating the regional value content of the good in accordance with the method set out for that good; and (c) the good satisfies all other applicable requirements of these Regulations.
Only one rule to satisfy (2) If Schedule 1 sets out two or more alternative rules for the tariff provision under which the good is classified and if the good is considered an originating good under one of those rules in accordance with subsection (1), the good need not satisfy the requirements of any alternative rule in order to be originating.
Exceptions (3) Subsections (1) and (2) do not apply to (a) a non-originating material of any of headings 04.01
through 04.06 or a non-originating material that is a dairy preparation containing over 10% by dry weight of milk solids of subheading 1901.90 or 2106.90, used in the production of a good of any of headings 04.01 through 04.06; (b) a non-originating material of any of headings 04.01 through 04.06 or a non-originating material that is a dairy preparation containing over 10% by dry weight of milk solids of subheading 1901.90 or 2106.90, used in the production of

used in the production of instant coffee, not flavoured, of subheading 2101.11; (e) a non-originating material of Chapter 15 that is used in the production of a good of any of headings 15.01 through 15.08, 15.12, 15.14 or 15.15; (f) a non-originating material of heading 17.01 that is used in the production of a good of any of headings 17.01 through 17.03; (g) a non-originating material of Chapter 17 or heading 18.05 that is used in the production of a good of subheading 1806.10; (h) a non-originating material that is a pear, peach or apricot of Chapter 8 or 20 and that is used in the production of a good of heading 20.08; (i) a non-originating material that is a single juice ingredient of heading 20.09 that is used in the production of a good of subheading 2009.90 or tariff item 2106.90.92 or 2202.99.22; (j) a non-originating material of any of headings 22.03
through 22.08 that is used in the production of a good of heading 22.07 or 22.08;

(k) a non-originating material that is used in the production of a good of any of Chapters 1 through 27, unless the non-originating material is of a different subheading than the good for which origin is to be determined under this section; or (l) a non-originating material that is used in the production of a good of any of Chapters 50 through 63.
De minimis rule — regional value content requirement (4) A good that is subject to a regional value content requirement is originating in the territory of a CUSMA country and is not required to satisfy that requirement if (a) the value of all non-originating materials used in
the production of the good is not more than 10% (i) of the transaction value of the good, determined
in accordance with Schedule 3 and adjusted to exclude any costs incurred in the international shipment of the good, or (ii) of the total cost of the good; and (b) the good satisfies all other applicable requirements of these Regulations.
Value non-originating materials — subsections (1) and (4) (5) For the purposes of subsections (1) and (4), the value of non-originating materials is to be determined in accordance with subsections 8(1) to (6).
De minimis rule — textile goods (6) A good of any of Chapters 50 through 60 or heading 96.19 that contains non-originating materials that do not satisfy the applicable change in tariff classification requirements is considered originating in the territory of a CUSMA country if (a) the total weight of all those non-originating materials is not more than 10% of the total weight of the good, of which the total weight of elastomeric content may not exceed 7% of the total weight of the good; and (b) the good satisfies all other applicable requirements of these Regulations.

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 2 Originating Goods Section 5
De minimis rule — apparel and textile goods (7) A good of any of Chapters 61 through 63 that contains
non-originating fibres or yarns in the component of the good that determines the tariff classification that do not satisfy the applicable change in tariff classification requirements is considered originating in the territory of a CUSMA country if (a) the total weight of all those non-originating materials is not more than 10% of the total weight of that component, of which the total weight of elastomeric content may not exceed 7% of the total weight of the component; and (b) the good satisfies all other applicable requirements of these Regulations. Component (8) For the purposes of subsection (7), (a) the component of a good that determines the tariff
classification of that good must be identified in accordance with the first of the following General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System under which the identification can be determined, namely Rule 3(b), Rule 3(c) and Rule 4; and (b) if the component of the good that determines the tariff classification of the good is a blend of two or more fibres or yarns, all fibres and yarns used in the production of the component must be taken into account in determining the weight of fibres and yarns in that component.
Applicable requirements — materials used in component (9) For the purpose of determining if a good of any of
Chapters 61 through 63 is originating, the requirements set out in Schedule 1 only apply to the component that determines the tariff classification of the good. Materials that are not part of the component that determines the tariff classification of the good are disregarded when determining if a good is originating. Similarly, for the purposes of this section as applicable to a good of any of Chapters 61 through 63, only the materials used in the component that determines the tariff classification is taken into account in the de minimis calculation. Exception (10) Subsection (7) does not apply to sewing thread, narrow elastic bands or pocket bag fabric that is subject to the requirements set out in Chapter 61, Notes 2 through 4, Chapter 62, Notes 3 through 5 or for coated fabric as set out in Chapter 63, Note 2 of Schedule 1.

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 2 Originating Goods Section 5
Calculation of total cost — choice of methods (11) For the purposes of subparagraphs (1)(a)(ii) and (4)(a)(ii), the total cost of a good is, at the choice of the producer of the good, (a) the total cost incurred with respect to all goods produced by the producer that can be reasonably allocated to that good in accordance with Schedule 5; or (b) the aggregate of each cost that forms part of the
total cost incurred with respect to that good that can be reasonably allocated to that good in accordance with Schedule 5.
Calculation of total cost (12) The total cost under subsection (11) consists of the
costs referred to in subsection 1(6) and is calculated in accordance with that subsection and subsection 1(7). Value of non-originating materials — other methods (13) For the purpose of determining the value under subsection (1) of non-originating materials that do not undergo an applicable change in tariff classification, if an inventory management method recognized in the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the CUSMA country where the production was performed or a method set out in Schedule 8 is not used to determine the value of those non-originating materials, the following methods are to be used: (a) if the value of those non-originating materials is
determined as a percentage of the transaction value of the good and the producer chooses under subsection 7(10) to use one of the methods recognized in the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the CUSMA country where the material was produced or one of the methods set out in Schedule 7 to determine the value of those non-originating materials for the purpose of calculating the regional value content of the good, the value of those non-originating materials must be determined in accordance with that method; (b) if the following conditions are met and the value of
those non-originating materials is equal to the sum of the values of non-originating materials, determined in accordance with the election under subparagraph (iv), divided by the number of units of the goods with respect to which the election is made (i) the value of those non-originating materials is
determined as a percentage of the total cost of the good,

(ii) under the rule in which the applicable change in tariff classification is specified, the good is also subject to a regional value content requirement and paragraph (4)(a) does not apply with respect to that good, (iii) the regional value content of the good is calculated on the basis of the net cost method, and (iv) the producer elects under subsection 7(15),
16(1) or (10) that the regional value content of the good be calculated over a period; (c) if the following conditions are met, the value of those non-originating materials is the sum of the values of the non-originating materials divided by the number of units produced during the period under subparagraph (iii): (i) the value of those non-originating materials is
determined as a percentage of the total cost of the good, (ii) under the rule in which the applicable change
in tariff classification is specified, the good is not also subject to a regional value content requirement or paragraph (4)(a) applies with respect to that good, and (iii) the producer elects under paragraph 1(7)(b) that, for the purposes of subsection (11), the total cost of the good be calculated over a given period; and (d) in any other case, the value of those non-originating materials may, at the choice of the producer, be determined in accordance with an inventory management method recognized in the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the CUSMA country where the production was performed or one of the methods set out in Schedule 7.
Value of non-originating materials — production of good (14) For the purposes of subsection (4), the value of the
non-originating materials used in the production of the good may, at the choice of the producer, be determined in accordance with an inventory management method recognized in the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the CUSMA country where the production was performed or one of the methods set out in Schedule 7. Examples illustrating de minimis rules (15) Each of the following examples is an “Example” as referred to in subsection 1(4).
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 2 Originating Goods Section 5
Example 1 (subsection (1)): Producer A, located in a CUSMA country, uses originating materials and non-originating materials in the production of aluminium powder of heading 76.03. The product-specific rule of origin set out in Schedule 1 for heading 76.03 specifies a change in tariff classification from any other Chapter. There is no applicable regional value content requirement for this heading. Therefore, in order for the aluminium powder to qualify as an originating good under the rule set out in Schedule 1, Producer A may not use any non-originating material of Chapter 76 in the production of the aluminum powder. All of the materials used in the production of the aluminium powder are originating materials, with the exception of a small amount of aluminium scrap of heading 76.02, that is in the same Chapter as the aluminium powder. Under subsection (1), if the value of the nonoriginating aluminium scrap does not exceed 10% of the transaction value of the aluminium powder or the total cost of the aluminium powder, whichever is applicable, the aluminium powder would be considered an originating good. Example 2 (subsection (2)): Producer A, located in a CUSMA country, uses originating materials and non-originating materials in the production of fans of subheading 8414.59. There are two alternative rules established in Schedule 1 for subheading 8414.59, one of which specifies a change in tariff classification from any other heading. The other rule specifies both a change in tariff classification from the subheading under which parts of the fans are classified and a regional value content requirement. In order for the fan to qualify as an originating good under the first of the alternative rules, all of the materials that are classified under the subheading for parts of fans and are used in the production of the completed fan must be originating materials. In this case, all of the non-originating materials used in the production of the fan satisfy the change in tariff classification set out in the rule that specifies a change in tariff classification from any other heading, with the exception of one non-originating material that is classified under the subheading for parts of fans. Under subsection (1), if the value of the non-originating material that does not satisfy the change in tariff classification specified in the first rule does not exceed 10% of the transaction value of the fan or the total cost of the fan, whichever is applicable, the fan would be considered an originating good. Therefore, under subsection (2), the fan would not be required to satisfy the alternative rule
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 2 Originating Goods Section 5
that specifies both a change in tariff classification and a regional value content requirement. Example 3 (subsection (2)): Producer A, located in a CUSMA country, uses originating materials and non-originating materials in the production of a copper anode of heading 74.02. The product-specific rule of origin set out in Schedule 1 for heading 74.02 specifies both a change in tariff classification from any other heading, except from heading 74.04, under which certain copper materials are classified and a regional value content requirement. Therefore, with respect to that part of the rule that specifies a change in tariff classification, in order for the copper anode to qualify as an originating good, any copper materials that are classified under heading 74.02 or 74.04 and that are used in the production of the copper anode must be originating materials. In this case, all of the non-originating materials used in the production of the copper anode satisfy the specified change in tariff classification, with the exception of a small amount of copper materials classified under heading 74.04. Subsection (1) provides that the copper anode can be considered an originating good if the value of the non-originating copper materials that do not satisfy the specified change in tariff classification does not exceed 10% of the transaction value of the copper anode or the total cost of the copper anode, whichever is applicable. In this case, the value of those non-originating materials that do not satisfy the specified change in tariff classification does not exceed the 10% limit. However, the rule set out in Schedule 1 for heading 74.02 specifies both a change in tariff classification and a regional value content requirement. Under paragraph (1)(b), in order to be considered an originating good, the copper anode must also, except as otherwise provided in subsection (4), satisfy the regional value content requirement specified in that rule. As provided in paragraph (1)(b), the value of the non-originating materials that do not satisfy the specified change in tariff classification, together with the value of all other non-originating materials used in the production of the copper anode, will be taken into account in calculating the regional value content of the copper anode. Example 4 (subsection (4)): Producer A, located in a CUSMA country, primarily uses originating materials in the production of shoes of heading 64.05. The product-specific rule of origin set out in Schedule 1 for heading 64.05 specifies both a change in tariff classification from any heading other than
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 2 Originating Goods Section 5
headings 64.01 through 64.05 or subheading 6406.10 and a regional value content requirement. With the exception of a small amount of materials of Chapter 39, all of the materials used in the production of the shoes are originating materials. Under subsection (4), if the value of all of the non-originating materials used in the production of the shoes does not exceed 10% of the transaction value of the shoes or the total cost of the shoes, whichever is applicable, the shoes are not required to satisfy the regional value content requirement specified in the rule set out in Schedule 1 in order to be considered originating goods. Example 5 (subsection (4)): Producer A, located in a CUSMA country, produces barbers’ chairs of subheading 9402.10. The product-specific rule of origin set out in Schedule 1 for goods of subheading 9402.10 specifies a change in tariff classification from any other subheading. All of the materials used in the production of these chairs are originating materials, with the exception of a small quantity of non-originating materials that are classified as parts of barbers’ chairs. These parts undergo no change in tariff classification because subheading 9402.10 provides for both barbers’ chairs and their parts.
Although Producer A’s barbers’ chairs do not qualify as originating goods under the rule set out in Schedule 1, paragraph 3(4)(a) provides, among other things, that, if there is no change in tariff classification from the nonoriginating materials to the goods because the subheading under which the goods are classified provides for both the goods and their parts, the goods will qualify as originating goods if they satisfy the specified regional value content requirement. However, under subsection (4), if the value of the nonoriginating materials does not exceed 10% of the transaction value of the barbers’ chairs or the total cost of the barbers’ chairs, whichever is applicable, the barbers’ chairs are considered originating goods and are not required to satisfy the regional value content requirement set out in subparagraph 3(4)(a)(ii). Example 6 (subsection (6)): Producer A, located in a CUSMA country, manufactures an infant diaper, classified in heading 96.19, consisting of an outer shell of 94% nylon and 6% elastomeric fabric by weight and a terry knit cotton absorbent crotch. All materials used are produced in a CUSMA country, except for the elastomeric fabric, which is from a nonCUSMA country. The elastomeric fabric is only 6% of the total weight of the diaper. The good satisfies all other
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 2 Originating Goods Section 5
applicable requirements of these Regulations. Therefore, the product is considered originating from a CUSMA country as per subsection (6).
Example 7 (subsection (6)): Producer A, located in a CUSMA country, produces cotton fabric of subheading 5209.11 from cotton yarn of subheading 5205.11. This cotton yarn is also produced by Producer A. The product-specific rule of origin set out in Schedule 1 for subheading 5209.11, under which the fabric is classified, specifies a change in tariff classification from any other heading outside 52.08 through 52.12, except from certain headings under which certain yarns are classified, including cotton yarn of subheading 5205.11. Therefore, with respect to the part of the rule that specifies a change in tariff classification, in order for the fabric to qualify as an originating good, the cotton yarn that is used by Producer A in the production of the fabric must be an originating material. At one point Producer A uses a small quantity of nonoriginating cotton yarn in the production of the cotton fabric. Under subsection (6), if the total weight of the non-originating cotton yarn does not exceed 10% of the total weight of the cotton fabric, it would be considered an originating good. Example 8 (subsections (7) and (8)): Producer A, located in a CUSMA country, produces women’s dresses of subheading 6204.41 from fine wool fabric of heading 51.12. This fine wool fabric, also produced by Producer A, is the component of the dress that determines its tariff classification in subheading 6204.41.
The product-specific rule of origin set out in Schedule 1 for subheading 6204.41, under which the dress is classified, specifies both a change in tariff classification from any other Chapter, except from those headings and Chapters under which certain yarns and fabrics, including combed wool yarn and wool fabric, are classified, and a requirement that the good be cut and sewn or otherwise assembled in the territory of one or more of the CUSMA countries. In addition, narrow elastics classified in subheading 5806.20 or heading 60.02 and sewing thread classified in heading 52.04, 54.01 or 55.08 or yarn classified in heading 54.02 that is used as sewing thread, must be formed and finished in the territory of one or more of the CUSMA countries for the dress to be originating. Furthermore, if the dress has a pocket, the pocket bag fabric must be formed and finished in the
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 2 Originating Goods Section 5
territory of one or more of the CUSMA countries for the dress to be originating. Therefore, with respect to that part of the rule that specifies a change in tariff classification, in order for the dress to qualify as an originating good, the combed wool yarn and the fine wool fabric made therefrom that are used by Producer A in the production of the dress must be originating materials. In addition, the sewing thread, narrow elastics and pocket bags that are used by Producer A in the production of the dress must also be formed and finished in the territory of one or more of the CUSMA countries. At one point Producer A uses a small quantity of nonoriginating combed wool yarn in the production of the fine wool fabric. Under subsection (7), if the total weight of the non-originating combed wool yarn does not exceed 10% of the total weight of all the yarn used in the production of the component of the dress that determines its tariff classification, that is, the wool fabric, the dress would be considered an originating good. Example 9 (subsection (7)): Producer A, located in a CUSMA country, manufactures women’s knit sweaters, which have knit bodies and woven sleeves. The knit body is composed of 95% polyester and 5% spandex, by weight. The sleeves are made of non-CUSMA woven fabric that is 100% polyester. All materials of the knit body are from a CUSMA country, except for the spandex, which is from a non-CUSMA country. The sweater is cut and sewn in a CUSMA country. Since the knit body gives the garment its essential character, the sweater is classified in subheading 6110.30. The product-specific rule of origin set out in Schedule 1 for subheading 6110.30 is that the good is both cut (or knit to shape) and sewn or otherwise assembled in the territory of one or more of the CUSMA countries. The sleeves are disregarded in determining whether the sweater originates in a CUSMA country because only the component that determines the tariff classification of the good must be originating and the de minimis provision is applied to that component. Moreover, the total weight of the spandex is less than 10% of the total weight of the knit body fabric, which is the component that determines the tariff classification of the sweater and the spandex does not exceed 7% of the total weight of good. Assuming that the women’s knit sweater satisfies all other applicable requirements of these Regulations, the women’s knit sweater is originating from the CUSMA country.
Example 10 (subsection (9)):
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 2 Originating Goods Section 5
A men’s shirt of Chapter 61 is made using two different fabrics; one for the body and another for the sleeves. The component that determines the tariff classification of the men’s shirt is the fabric used for the body, as it constitutes the material that predominates by weight and makes up the largest surface area of the shirt’s exterior. If this fabric is produced using non-originating fibres and yarns that do not satisfy a tariff change rule, the de minimis provision is calculated on the basis of the total weight of the non-originating fibres or yarns used in the production of the fabric that makes up the body of the shirt. The weight of these non-originating fibres or yarns must be 10% or less of the total weight of that fabric and any elastomeric content must be 7% or less of the total weight of that fabric. Alternatively, if the shirt is made entirely of the same fabric, the component that determines the tariff classification of the shirt would be that fabric, as the shirt is made out of the same material throughout. Therefore, under this second scenario, the total weight of all nonoriginating fibres and yarns used in the production of the shirt that do not satisfy a tariff change rule must be 10% or less of the total weight of the shirt, and any elastomeric content must be 7% or less of the total weight of the shirt, for the shirt to be considered as an originating good. Example 11 (subsection (9)): Producer A, located in a CUSMA country, produces women’s blouses of subheading 6206.40 from a fabric also produced by Producer A that is composed of 90% by weight of originating polyester yarns of subheading 5402.33, 3% by weight non-originating lyocell yarn of subheading 5403.49 and 7% by weight non-originating elastomeric filament yarn of subheading 5402.44. This fabric is the component of the women’s blouses that determines its tariff classification in subheading 6206.40. The product-specific rule of origin of Schedule 1 applicable to the women’s blouses of subheading 6206.40 requires a change in tariff classification from any other Chapter, except from those headings and Chapters under which certain yarns and fabrics, including polyester, lyocell and elastomeric filament yarns, are classified and a requirement that the good is cut and sewn or otherwise assembled in the territory of one or more of the CUSMA countries. In this case, the non-originating lyocell yarn of subheading 5403.49 and the non-originating elastomeric filament yarn of subheading 5402.44 do not satisfy the
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 2 Originating Goods Sections 5-6
change in tariff classification required by the productspecific rule of origin of Schedule 1, because the productspecific rule of origin for heading 62.06 excludes a change from Chapter 54 to heading 62.06. However, according to subsection (7), a textile or apparel good classified in any of Chapters 61 through 63 that contains non-originating fibres or yarns in the component of the good that determines its tariff classification that do not satisfy the applicable change in tariff classification, is nonetheless considered an originating good if the total weight of all those fibres or yarns is not more than 10% of the total weight of that component, of which the total weight of elastomeric content may not exceed 7% of the total weight of the component, and such good meets all the other applicable requirements of these Regulations. Since the weight of the non-originating materials used by Producer A does not exceed 10% of the total weight of the component that determines the tariff classification of the women’s blouses, and the weight of elastomeric content also does not exceed 7% of such total weight, the women’s blouses qualify as originating goods. Example 12 (subsection (10)): A producer located in a country manufactures boys’ swimwear of subheading 6211.11 from fabric that has been woven in a CUSMA country from yarn spun in a CUSMA country; however, the producer uses non-originating narrow elastic of heading 60.02 in the waistband of the swimwear. As a result of the use of the nonoriginating narrow elastic of heading 60.02 in the waistband, and provided the garment is imported into a CUSMA country at least 18 months after the Agreement enters into force, the swimwear is considered non-originating because it does not satisfy the requirement set out in Note 3 of Chapter 62. In addition, subsection (7) does not apply to the narrow elastic of heading 60.02 and the good is therefore a non-originating good. Set 6 (1) This section applies to a good that is classified as a
set as a result of the application of Rule 3 of the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System.
Requirement (2) Except as otherwise set out in Schedule 1, a set is
originating in the territory of a CUSMA country only if each good in the set is an originating good and both the set and the goods in the set meet the other applicable requirements of these Regulations.
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 2 Originating Goods Section 6
Exceptions (3) Despite subsection (2), a set is originating only if the
value of all the non-originating goods included in the set does not exceed 10% of the value of the set. Value (4) For the purposes of subsection (3), the value of nonoriginating goods in the set and the value of the set must be calculated in the same manner as the value of nonoriginating materials is determined in accordance with section 8 and the value of the good determined in accordance with section 7. Example (5) Each of the following examples is an “Example” referred to in subsection 1(4). Example 1: Paint set Producer A assembles a paint set for arts and crafts. The set includes tubes of paint, paint brushes and paper, all presented in a reusable wooden box. The paint set for arts and crafts is classified in subheading 3210.00 as a result of the application of Rule 3 of the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System and, as a result, this section applies with respect to that set. The paint, paper and wooden box are all originating as they undergo the changes required in Schedule 1. The paint brushes, which represent 4% of the value of the set, are produced in the territory of a non-CUSMA country and are therefore non-originating. The set is nonetheless originating.
Example 2 (subsection (2)): Producer A, located in a CUSMA country, uses originating materials and non-originating materials to assemble a manicure set of subheading 8214.20. The set includes a nail nipper, cuticle scissors, a nail clipper and a nail file with cardboard support, all presented in a plastic case with zipper. The items are not classified as a set as a result of the application of Rule 3 of the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System. The Harmonized System specifies that manicure sets are classified in subheading 8214.20. This means that the specific rule of origin set out in Schedule 1 applies. This rule requires a change in tariff classification from any other Chapter. In order for the manicure set to qualify as an originating good under the rule set out in Schedule 1, Producer A may not use any non-originating material of Chapter 82 in the assembly of the manicure set.
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 2 Originating Goods Section 6
In this case, Producer A, located in a CUSMA country, produces the nail nipper, cuticle scissors and nail clipper included in the set, and all qualify as originating goods. Despite being classified in the same Chapter as the manicure set (Chapter 82), the originating nail nipper, the cuticle scissors and the nail clipper satisfy the requirement of the applicable change in tariff classification to the manicure set. The nail file with cardboard support (6805.20) and the plastic case with zipper (4202.12) are imported from outside the territories of the CUSMA countries; however, these items are not classified in Chapter 82, so they satisfy the applicable change in tariff classification. Therefore, the manicure set is an originating good.
Example 3 (subsection (3)): Pants set Producer A makes a pants set, consisting of men’s cotton denim trousers and a polyester belt, packed together for a retail sale. The trousers are made of cotton fabric formed and finished from yarn in a CUSMA country. The sewing thread is formed and finished in a CUSMA country. The pocket bag fabric is formed and finished in a CUSMA country, of yarn wholly formed in a CUSMA country. The trousers are cut and sewn in CUSMA country A. A polyester webbing belt with a metal buckle is made in a non-CUSMA country and shipped to CUSMA country A, where it is threaded through the belt loops of the trousers. The value of the belt is 8% of the value of the trousers and belt combined.
The men’s trousers are classified in subheading 6203.42. The rule of origin set out in Schedule 1 for subheading 6203.42 requires that the trousers be made from fabric produced in a CUSMA country from yarn produced in a CUSMA country. The trousers satisfy the product-specific rules of origin set out in Schedule 1 and are considered originating. However, the belt does not satisfy the rules and would not be considered originating. The set is nonetheless an originating good if the belt value is 10% or less of the value of the set. Since the value of the belt is 8% of the value of the set, the men’s trousers and belt set would be treated as an originating good.
Example 4 (subsection (3)): Shirt and tie set Producer A makes a boys’ shirt and tie set in a CUSMA country. The shirt is constructed from 55% cotton, 45% polyester, solid colour, dyed, woven fabric, classified in subheading 5210.31. The fabric contains 73.2 total yarns per square centimetre and 76 metric yarns. The shirt is
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 2 Originating Goods Section 6
packaged in a retail polybag with a coordinating colour, 100% polyester, woven fabric tie. The yarns used in the shirt fabric are spun in a non-CUSMA country and the fabric is woven and dyed in the same non-CUSMA country. The shirt fabric is sent to the CUSMA country where it is cut and sewn into finished garments. The coordinating tie is made in a non-CUSMA country from fabric that is woven in that country from yarns that are spun in that country. The value of the coordinating tie is approximately 13% of the value of the set.
The shirt is classified under heading 62.05. The shirt satisfies the product-specific rule of origin for heading 62.05 set out in Schedule 1 and is considered originating because it is wholly made from fabric of subheading 5210.31 (not of square construction, containing more than 70 warp ends and filling picks per square centimetre, of average yarn number exceeding 70 metric) and cut and sewn into finished garments in the CUSMA country. On the other hand, the tie does not satisfy the product-specific rule for heading 62.15 and would not be considered originating. For the purposes of the sets rule, provided the tie is valued at 10% or less of the value of the set, the set will be considered as originating. However, since the value of the coordinating tie is approximately 13% of the value of the set, the shirt and tie set would not be considered as an originating good.
Example 5 (subsection (3)): Chef set Producer A, located in a CUSMA country, produces a chef set for retail sale using originating and non-originating materials. This set includes an apron, cooking gloves and a chef hat. The chef set is classified in heading 62.11 as a result of the application of Rule 3 of the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System. For this reason, subsection (3) applies to this set. Both the apron and cooking gloves meet the product-specific rules of origin for their respective product categories and are therefore considered to be originating. The chef hat, which represents 9.7% of the value of the set, is produced in the territory of a non-CUSMA country and is therefore non-originating. The set is nonetheless an originating good because less than 10% of the value of the set is non-originating.

is the transaction value of the good, determined in accordance with Schedule 3 with respect to the transaction in which the producer of the good sold the good, adjusted to exclude any costs incurred in the international shipment of the good; and is the value of non-originating materials used by the producer in the production of the good, determined in accordance with section 8.
VNM
Net cost method (3) The net cost method for calculating the regional value content of a good is as follows: RVC = (NC − VNM) ÷ NC × 100
where RVC NC VNM
is the regional value content of the good, expressed as a percentage; is the net cost of the good, calculated in accordance with subsection (11); and is the value of non-originating materials used by the producer in the production of the good determined, except as otherwise provided in sections 14 and 15, in accordance with section 8.
Non-originating materials — values not included (4) For the purpose of calculating the regional value content of a good under subsection (2) or (3), the value of non-originating materials used by a producer in the production of the good must not include
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 3 Regional Value Content Section 7
(a) the value of any non-originating materials used by
another producer in the production of originating materials that are subsequently acquired and used by the producer of the good in the production of that good; or (b) the value of any non-originating materials used by
the producer in the production of a self-produced material that is an originating material and is designated as an intermediate material.
Self-produced material (5) For the purposes of subsection (4), (a) in the case of any self-produced material that is
not designated as an intermediate material, only the value of any non-originating materials used in the production of the self-produced material is to be included in the value of non-originating materials used in the production of the good; and (b) if a self-produced material that is designated as an
intermediate material and is an originating material is used by the producer of the good with non-originating materials — whether or not those non-originating materials are produced by that producer — in the production of the good, the value of those non-originating materials is to be included in the value of non-originating materials. Net cost method — when required (6) The regional value content of a good must be calculated only on the basis of the net cost method if Schedule 1 does not provide a rule for the good based on the transaction value method.
Net cost method — change permitted (7) If the importer, exporter or producer of a good calculates the regional value content of the good on the basis of the transaction value method and the customs administration of a CUSMA country subsequently notifies that importer, exporter or producer in writing, during the course of a verification of origin, that (a) the transaction value of the good, as determined
by that importer, exporter or producer, is required to be adjusted under section 4 of Schedule 3, or (b) the value of any material used in the production of
the good, as determined by that importer, exporter or producer, is required to be adjusted under section 4 of Schedule 6, the importer, exporter or producer may choose that the regional value content of the good be calculated on the basis of the net cost method, in which case the
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 3 Regional Value Content Section 7
calculation must be made within 30 days after the producer receives the notification, or such longer period as that customs administration specifies. Net cost method — no change permitted (8) If the importer, exporter or producer of a good calculates the regional value content of the good on the basis of the net cost method and the customs administration of a CUSMA country subsequently notifies that importer, exporter or producer in writing, during the course of a verification of origin, that the good does not satisfy the applicable regional value content requirement, the importer, exporter or producer of the good may not recalculate the regional value content on the basis of the transaction value method. Clarification (9) Nothing in subsection (7) is to be construed as preventing any review or appeal under Article 5.15 of the Agreement, as implemented in each CUSMA country, of an adjustment to or a rejection of (a) the transaction value of the good; or (b) the value of any material used in the production of
the good. Value of identical non-originating materials (10) For the purposes of the transaction value method, if
non-originating materials that are the same as one another in all respects, including physical characteristics, quality and reputation but excluding minor differences in appearance, are used in the production of a good, the value of those non-originating materials may, at the choice of the producer of the good, be determined in accordance with one of the methods set out in Schedule 7.
Calculating net cost of good (11) For the purposes of subsection (3), the net cost of a
good may be calculated, at the choice of the producer of the good, by (a) calculating the total cost incurred with respect to
all goods produced by that producer, subtracting any excluded costs that are included in that total cost, and reasonably allocating, in accordance with Schedule 5, the remainder to the good; (b) calculating the total cost incurred with respect to all goods produced by that producer, reasonably allocating, in accordance with Schedule 5, that total cost to the good, and subtracting any excluded costs that are included in the amount allocated to that good; or
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 3 Regional Value Content Section 7
(c) reasonably allocating, in accordance with Schedule
5, each cost that forms part of the total cost incurred with respect to the good so that the aggregate of those costs does not include any excluded costs. Calculation of total cost (12) Total cost under subsection (11) consists of the
costs referred to in subsection 1(6) and is calculated in accordance with that subsection and subsection 1(7). Calculation of net cost of good (13) For the purpose of calculating the net cost under
subsection (11), (a) excluded costs are the excluded costs that are recorded on the books of the producer of the good; (b) excluded costs that are included in the value of a
material that is used in the production of the good are not to be subtracted from or otherwise excluded from the total cost; and (c) excluded costs do not include any amount paid for
research and development services performed in the territory of a CUSMA country. Non-allowable interest (14) For the purpose of calculating non-allowable interest costs, the determination of whether interest costs incurred by a producer are more than 700 basis points above the interest rate of comparable maturities issued by the federal government of the country in which the producer is located is to be made in accordance with Schedule 9. Use of averaging over a period (15) For the purposes of the net cost method, the regional value content of the good, other than a good with respect to which an election to average may be made under subsection 16(1) or (10), may be calculated, if the producer elects to do so, by (a) calculating the sum of the net costs incurred and the sum of the values of non-originating materials used by the producer of the good with respect to the good and identical goods or similar goods, or any combination thereof, produced in a single plant by the producer over (i) a one-month period, (ii) any consecutive three- or six-month period that
falls within and is evenly divisible into the number of months of the producer’s fiscal year remaining at the beginning of that period, or
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 3 Regional Value Content Section 7
(iii) the producer’s fiscal year; and (b) using the sums referred to in paragraph (a) as the net cost and the value of non-originating materials, respectively.
Application (16) The calculation made under subsection (15) applies with respect to all units of the good produced during the period chosen by the producer under paragraph (15)(a).
No change to goods or period (17) An election made under subsection (15) may not be
rescinded or modified with respect to the goods or the period to which the election is made. Period considered to be chosen (18) If a producer chooses a one-, three- or six-month period under subsection (15) with respect to a good, the producer is considered to have chosen under that subsection a period or periods of the same duration for the remainder of the producer’s fiscal year with respect to that good.
Method and period for remainder of fiscal year (19) If the use of the net cost method is required or chosen and an election is made under subsection (15), the regional value content of the good is to be calculated on the basis of the net cost method over the period chosen under that subsection and for the remainder of the producer’s fiscal year. Analysis of actual cost (20) Except as otherwise provided in subsection 16(9), if
the producer of a good has calculated the regional value content of the good under the net cost method on the basis of estimated costs, including standard costs, budgeted forecasts or other similar estimating procedures, before or during the period chosen under paragraph (15)(a), the producer must conduct an analysis at the end of the producer’s fiscal year of the actual costs incurred over the period with respect to the production of the good. Option to treat any material as non-originating (21) For the purpose of calculating the regional value
content of a good, the producer of that good may choose to treat any material used in the production of that good as a non-originating material.

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 3 Regional Value Content Section 7
Examples (22) Each of the following examples is an “Example” as referred to in subsection 1(4).
Example 1: Point of direct shipment (with respect to the definition adjusted to exclude any costs incurred in the international shipment of the good) A producer has only one factory at which the producer manufactures office chairs. Because the factory is located close to transportation facilities, all units of the finished good are stored in a factory warehouse 200 m from the end of the production line. Goods are shipped worldwide from this warehouse. The point of direct shipment is the warehouse. Example 2: Point of direct shipment (with respect to the definition adjusted to exclude any costs incurred in the international shipment of the good) A producer has six factories, all located within the territory of one of the CUSMA countries, at which the producer produces garden tools of various types. These tools are shipped worldwide and orders usually consist of bulk orders of various types of tools. Because different tools are manufactured at different factories, the producer decided to consolidate storage and shipping facilities and ships all finished products to a large warehouse located near the seaport from which all orders are shipped. The distance from the factories to the warehouse varies from 3 km to 130 km. The point of direct shipment for each of the goods is the warehouse. Example 3: Point of direct shipment (with respect to the definition adjusted to exclude any costs incurred in the international shipment of the good) A producer has only one factory, located near the centre of one of the CUSMA countries, at which the producer manufactures office chairs. The office chairs are shipped from that factory to three warehouses leased by the producer, one on the west coast, one near the factory and one on the east coast. The office chairs are shipped to buyers from these warehouses, the shipping location depending on the shipping distance from the buyer. Buyers closest to the west coast warehouse are normally supplied by the west coast warehouse, buyers closest to the east coast are normally supplied by the warehouse located on the east coast and buyers closest to the warehouse near the factory are normally supplied by that warehouse. In this case, the point of direct shipment is the location of the warehouse from which the office chairs are normally shipped to customers in the location in which the buyer is located. Example 4 (subsection (3)): Net cost method
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 3 Regional Value Content Section 7
A producer located in CUSMA country A sells Good A that is subject to a regional value content requirement to a buyer located in CUSMA country B. The producer of Good A chooses to calculate the regional value content of that good using the net cost method. All applicable requirements of these Regulations, other than the regional value content requirement, have been met. The applicable regional value content requirement is 50%.
In order to calculate the regional value content of Good A, the producer first calculates the net cost of Good A. Under paragraph (11)(a), the net cost is the total cost of Good A (the aggregate of the product costs, period costs and other costs) per unit, minus the excluded costs (the aggregate of the sales promotion, marketing and aftersales service costs, royalties, shipping and packing costs and non-allowable interest costs) per unit. The producer uses the following figures to calculate the net cost: Product costs: Value of originating materials
$30.00
Value of non-originating materials
$40.00
Other product costs
$20.00
Period costs:
$10.00
Other costs:
$0.00
Total cost of Good A, per unit:
$100.00
Excluded costs: Sales promotion, marketing and after-sales service costs $5.00 Royalties
$2.50
Shipping and packing costs
$3.00
Non-allowable interest costs
$1.50
Total excluded costs:
$12.00
The net cost is the total cost of Good A, per unit, minus the excluded costs. Total cost of Good A, per unit:
$100.00
Excluded costs:
- $12.00
Net cost of Good A, per unit:
$88.00
The net cost ($88) and the value of non-originating materials ($40) are needed in order to calculate the regional value content. The producer calculates the regional value content of Good A under the net cost method in the following manner:
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 3 Regional Value Content Section 7
RVC
=
(NC − VNM) ÷ NC × 100
=
(88 - 40) ÷ 88 × 100
=
54.5%
Therefore, under the net cost method, Good A qualifies as an originating good, with a regional value content of 54.5%. Example 5 (paragraph (11)(a)): A producer in a CUSMA country produces Good A and Good B during the producer’s fiscal year. The producer uses the following figures, which are recorded on the producer’s books and represent all of the costs incurred with respect to both Good A and Good B, to calculate the net cost of those goods: Product costs: Value of originating materials
$2,000
Value of non-originating materials
$1,000
Other product costs
$2,400
Period costs (including $1,200 in excluded costs): $3,200 Other costs: Total cost of Good A and Good B:
$400 $9,000
The net cost is the total cost of Good A and Good B, minus the excluded costs incurred with respect to those goods. Total cost of Good A and Good B: Excluded costs: Net cost of Good A and Good B:
$9,000 - $1,200 $7,800
The net cost must then be reasonably allocated, in accordance with Schedule 5, to Good A and Good B. Example 6 (paragraph (11)(b)): A producer in a CUSMA country produces Good A and Good B during the producer’s fiscal year. In order to calculate the regional value content of Good A and Good B, the producer uses the following figures that are recorded on the producer’s books and incurred with respect to those goods: Product costs: Value of originating materials
$2,000
Value of non-originating materials
$1,000
Other product costs
$2,400
Period costs (including $1,200 in excluded costs): $3,200 Other costs:
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
$400
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 3 Regional Value Content Section 7
Total cost of Good A and Good B:
$9,000
Under paragraph (11)(b), the total cost of Good A and Good B is then reasonably allocated, in accordance with Schedule 5, to those goods. The costs are allocated in the following manner:
Total cost ($9,000 for both Good A and Good B)
Allocated to Good A
Allocated to Good B
$5,220
$3,780
The excluded costs ($1,200) that are included in the total cost allocated to Good A and Good B, in accordance with Schedule 5, are subtracted from that amount. Excluded cost allocated to Good A ($)
Total excluded costs:
Excluded cost allocated to Good B ($)
Sales promotion, marketing and after-sale service costs $500 290
Royalties
$200 116
Shipping and packing costs $500 290 Net cost (total cost minus excluded costs):
$4,524
$3,276
Therefore the net cost of Good A is $4,524 and the net cost of Good B is $3,276. Example 7 (paragraph (11)(c)): A producer located in a CUSMA country produces Good C and Good D. The following costs are recorded on the producer’s books for the months of January, February and March, and each cost that forms part of the total cost is reasonably allocated, in accordance with Schedule 5, to Good C and Good D. Total cost: Good C and Good D (in thousands of dollars)
Allocated to Good C (in thousands of dollars)
Allocated to Good D (in thousands of dollars)
Value of originating materials 100
Value of non-originating materials 900

Product costs:
Period costs (including $420 in excluded costs):

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 3 Regional Value Content Section 7
Example 8 (subsection (12)): Producer A, located in a CUSMA country, produces Good A that is subject to a regional value content requirement. The producer chooses to calculate the regional value content of that good using the net cost method. Producer A buys Material X from Producer B, located in a CUSMA country. Material X is a non-originating material and is used in the production of Good A. Producer A provides Producer B, at no charge, with moulds to be used in the production of Material X. The cost of the moulds that is recorded on the books of Producer A has been expensed in the current year. Pursuant to subparagraph 4(1)(b)(ii) of Schedule 6, the value of the moulds is included in the value of Material X. Therefore, the cost of the moulds that is recorded on the books of Producer A and that has been expensed in the current year cannot be included as a separate cost in the net cost of Good A because it has already been included in the value of Material X. Example 9 (subsection (12)): Producer A, located in a CUSMA country, produces Good A that is subject to a regional value content requirement. The producer chooses to calculate the regional value content of that good using the net cost method and averages the calculation over the producer’s fiscal year under subsection (15). Producer A determines that during that fiscal year Producer A incurred a gain on foreign currency conversion of $10,000 and a loss on foreign currency conversion of $8,000, resulting in a net gain of $2,000. Producer A also determines that $7,000 of the gain on foreign currency conversion and $6,000 of the loss on foreign currency conversion is related to the purchase of non-originating materials used in the production of Good A and $3,000 of the gain on foreign currency conversion and $2,000 of the loss on foreign currency conversion is not related to the production of Good A. The producer determines that the total cost of Good A is $45,000 before deducting the $1,000 net gain on foreign currency conversion related to the production of Good A. The total cost of Good A is therefore $44,000. That $1,000 net gain is not included in the value of non-originating materials under subsection 8(1). Example 10 (subsection (12)):
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 3 Regional Value Content Sections 7-8
Given the same facts as in Example 9, except that Producer A determines that $6,000 of the gain on foreign currency conversion and $7,000 of the loss on foreign currency conversion is related to the purchase of nonoriginating materials used in the production of Good A the total cost of Good A is $45,000, which includes the $1,000 net loss on foreign currency conversion related to the production of Good A. That $1,000 net loss is not included in the value of non-originating materials under subsection 8(1).
PART 4
Material Value of material used in production 8 (1) Except as otherwise provided for non-originating
materials used in the production of a good referred to in section 14 or subsection 15(1), and except in the case of indirect materials, intermediate materials and packing materials and containers, for the purpose of calculating the regional value content of a good and for the purposes of subsections 5(1) and (4), the value of a material that is used in the production of the good is (a) except as otherwise provided in subsection (4), if the material is imported by the producer of the good into the territory of the CUSMA country in which the good is produced, the transaction value of the material at the time of importation, including the costs incurred in the international shipment of the material; (b) if the material is acquired by the producer of the good from another person located in the territory of the CUSMA country in which the good is produced (i) the price paid or payable by the producer in the
CUSMA country where the producer is located, (ii) the value as determined for an imported material in paragraph (a), or (iii) the earliest ascertainable price paid or payable in the territory of the CUSMA country where the good is produced; or (c) for a material that is self-produced (i) all the costs incurred in the production of the material, including general expenses, and (ii) an amount equivalent to the profit added in the

Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 4 Material Section 8
being valued if no self-produced material that has been used in its production has been valued including the amount equivalent or equal to the profit according to this paragraph.
Adjustments (2) The following costs may be deducted from the value
of a non-originating material or material of undetermined origin if they are included under subsection (1): (a) the costs of freight, insurance and packing and all
other costs incurred in transporting the material to the location of the producer; (b) duties and taxes paid or payable with respect to
the material in the territory of one or more of the CUSMA countries, other than duties and taxes that are waived, refunded, refundable or otherwise recoverable, including credit against duty or tax paid or payable; (c) customs brokerage fees, including the cost of inhouse customs brokerage services, incurred with respect to the material in the territory of one or more of the CUSMA countries; and (d) the cost of waste and spoilage resulting from the
use of the material in the production of the good, minus the value of any reusable scrap or by-product.
Documentary evidence required (3) If the cost or expense listed in subsection (2) is unknown or documentary evidence of the amount of the adjustment is not available, no adjustment is to be made for that particular cost or expense.
Unacceptable transaction value (4) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(a), if the transaction value of the material referred to in that paragraph is unacceptable or if there is no transaction value in accordance with Schedule 4, the value of the material must be determined in accordance with Schedule 6 and, if the costs referred to in subsection (2) are included in that value, those costs may be deducted from that value.

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 4 Material Section 8
Costs recorded on books (5) For the purposes of subsection (1), the costs referred to in paragraph (1)(c) are the costs referred to in that paragraph that are recorded on the books of the producer of the good.
Designation of self-produced material as intermediate material (6) For the purpose of calculating the regional value content of a good, the producer of the good may designate as an intermediate material any self-produced material that is used in the production of the good, provided that, if an intermediate material is subject to a regional value content requirement, no other self-produced material that is subject to a regional value content requirement and is incorporated into that intermediate material is also designated by the producer as an intermediate material.
Particulars (7) For the purposes of subsection (6), (a) in order to qualify as an originating material, a
self-produced material that is designated as an intermediate material must qualify as an originating material under these Regulations; (b) the designation of a self-produced material as an intermediate material is to be made solely at the choice of the producer of that self-produced material; and (c) except as otherwise provided in subsection 9(6),
the proviso set out in subsection (6) does not apply with respect to an intermediate material used by another producer in the production of a material that is subsequently acquired and used in the production of a good by the producer referred to in subsection (6). Value of intermediate material (8) The value of an intermediate material is, at the choice of the producer of the good, (a) the total cost incurred with respect to all goods
produced by the producer that can be reasonably allocated to that intermediate material in accordance with Schedule 5; or (b) the aggregate of each cost that forms part of the
total cost incurred with respect to that intermediate material that can be reasonably allocated to that intermediate material in accordance with Schedule 5.

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 4 Material Section 8
Calculation of total cost (9) Total cost under subsection (8) consists of the costs
referred to in subsection 1(6) and is calculated in accordance with that subsection and subsection 1(7). Rescission of designation (10) If a producer of a good designates a self-produced
material as an intermediate material under subsection (6) and the customs administration of a CUSMA country into which the good is imported determines during a verification of origin of the good that the intermediate material is a non-originating material and notifies the producer of this in writing before the written determination of whether the good qualifies as an originating good, the producer may rescind the designation in which case the regional value content of the good is to be calculated as though the self-produced material were not so designated. Effect of rescission (11) A producer of a good who rescinds a designation
under subsection (10) may, not later than 30 days after the day on which the customs administration referred to in subsection (10) notifies the producer in writing that the self-produced material is a non-originating material, designate as an intermediate material another self-produced material that is incorporated into the good, subject to the proviso set out in subsection (6). Second rescission (12) If a producer of a good designates another self-produced material as an intermediate material under subsection (6) and the customs administration referred to in subsection (10) determines during the verification of origin of the good that that self-produced material is a nonoriginating material, (a) the producer may rescind the designation in which
case the regional value content of the good is to be calculated as though the self-produced material were not so designated; and (b) the producer may not designate another self-produced material that is incorporated into the good as an intermediate material.
Indirect materials (13) For the purpose of determining whether a good is
an originating good, an indirect material that is used in the production of the good (a) is considered to be an originating material, regardless of where that indirect material is produced; and

(b) if the good is subject to a regional value content requirement, for the purpose of calculating the net cost under the net cost method, has a value that is equal to the costs of that material that are recorded on the books of the producer of the good.
Packaging materials and containers (14) Packaging materials and containers, if classified under the Harmonized System with the good that is packaged therein, must be disregarded for the purpose of (a) determining whether all of the non-originating
materials used in the production of the good undergo an applicable change in tariff classification; (b) determining whether a good is wholly obtained or produced; and (c) determining under subsection 5(1) the value of
non-originating materials that do not undergo an applicable change in tariff classification. Value of packaging materials and containers — cases where taken into account (15) If packaging materials and containers are classified
under the Harmonized System with the good that is packaged therein and that good is subject to a regional value content requirement, the value of those packaging materials and containers must be taken into account as originating materials or non-originating materials, as the case may be, for the purpose of calculating the regional value content of the good. Packaging materials and containers — self-produced (16) For the purposes of subsection (15), if packaging
materials and containers are self-produced materials, the producer may choose to designate those materials as intermediate materials under subsection (6).
Packing materials and containers (17) For the purpose of determining whether a good is
an originating good, packing materials and containers are disregarded. Fungible materials and fungible goods (18) A fungible material or fungible good is an originating good if (a) when originating and non-originating fungible
materials (i) are withdrawn from an inventory in one location
and used in the production of the good, or

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 4 Material Section 8
(ii) are withdrawn from inventories in more than one location in the territory of one or more of the CUSMA countries and used in the production of the good at the same production facility,
the determination of whether the materials are originating is made on the basis of an inventory management method recognized in the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of, or otherwise accepted by, the CUSMA country in which the production is performed or an inventory management method set out in Schedule 8; or (b) when originating and non-originating fungible goods are commingled and exported in the same form, the determination of whether the goods are originating is made on the basis of an inventory management method recognized in the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of, or otherwise accepted by, the CUSMA country from which the good is exported or an inventory management method set out in Schedule 8.
Choice for fiscal year (19) The inventory management method selected under
subsection (18) must be used throughout the fiscal year of the producer or the person that selected the inventory management method. Claim (20) An importer may claim that a fungible material or
good is originating if the importer, producer or exporter has physically segregated each fungible material or good so as to allow its specific identification.
Choice of inventory management method (21) If fungible materials referred to in paragraph (18)(a) and fungible goods referred to in paragraph (18)(b) are withdrawn from the same inventory, the inventory management method used for the materials must be the same as the inventory management method used for the goods, and if the averaging method is used, the respective averaging periods for fungible materials and fungible goods are to be used.
Written notice (22) A choice of inventory management methods under
subsection (18) is considered to have been made when the customs administration of the CUSMA country into which the good is imported is informed in writing of the choice during the course of a verification of origin of the good.

Exclusion (24) Accessories, spare parts, tools, or instructional or
other information materials are to be disregarded for the purpose of determining (a) whether a good is wholly obtained; (b) whether the non-originating materials used in the production of the good satisfy a process or change in tariff classification requirement set out in Schedule 1; or (c) under subsection 5(1), the value of non-originating materials that do not undergo an applicable change in tariff classification.
Value for regional value content (25) If a good is subject to a regional value content requirement, the value of accessories, spare parts, tools, or instructional or other information materials is to be taken into account as originating materials or non-originating materials, as the case may be, in calculating the regional value content of the good.
Designation (26) For the purposes of subsection (25), if accessories,
spare parts, tools or instructional or other information materials are self-produced materials, the producer may choose to designate those materials as intermediate materials under subsection (6).
Originating status (27) A good’s accessories, spare parts, tools, or instructional or other information materials have the originating status of the good with which they are delivered.

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 4 Material Section 8
Examples illustrating the provisions on materials (28) Each of the following examples is an “Example” as
referred to in subsection 1(4). Example 1 (subsection (4)): Transaction value not determined in a manner consistent with Schedule 6 Producer A, located in CUSMA country A, imports a bicycle chainring into CUSMA country A. Producer A purchased the chainring from a middleman located in CUSMA country B. The middleman purchased the chainring from a manufacturer located in CUSMA country B. Under the laws of CUSMA country A that implement the Agreement on Implementation of Article VII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, 1994, the customs value of the chainring was based on the price actually paid or payable by the middleman to the manufacturer. Producer A uses the chainring to produce a bicycle and exports the bicycle to CUSMA country C. The bicycle is subject to a regional value content requirement. Under subsection 3(1) of Schedule 6, the price actually paid or payable is the total payment made or to be made by the producer to or for the benefit of the seller of the material. Section 1 of that Schedule defines “producer” and “seller” for the purposes of that Schedule. A producer is the person who uses the material in the production of a good that is subject to a regional value content requirement. A seller is the person who sells the material being valued to the producer. The transaction value of the chainring was not determined in a manner consistent with Schedule 6 because it was based on the price actually paid or payable by the middleman to the manufacturer, rather than on the price actually paid or payable by Producer A to the middleman. Thus, subsection (4) applies and the chainring is valued in accordance with Schedule 6. Example 2 (subsection (7)): Value of intermediate materials A producer located in a CUSMA country produces a bicycle that is subject to a regional value content requirement under subsection 3(2). The producer also produces a chainring that is used in the production of the bicycle. Both originating materials and non-originating materials are used in the production of the chainring. The chainring is subject to a change in tariff classification requirement under subsection 3(2). The costs to produce the chainring are the following: Product costs: Value of originating materials
$1.00
Value of non-originating materials
$7.50
Other product costs
$1.50
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020

Period costs (including $0.30 in royalties):
$0.50
Other costs:
$0.10
Total cost of the chainring:
$10.60
The producer designates the chainring as an intermediate material and determines that, because all of the nonoriginating materials that are used in the production of the chainring undergo an applicable change in tariff classification set out in Schedule 1, the chainring would, under subsection 3(2) qualify as an originating material. The cost of the non-originating materials used in the production of the chainring is therefore not included in the value of non-originating materials that are used in the production of the bicycle for the purpose of determining the regional value content of the bicycle. Because the chainring is designated as an intermediate material, the total cost of the chainring, which is $10.60, is treated as the cost of originating materials for the purpose of calculating the regional value content of the bicycle. The total cost of the bicycle is determined in accordance with the following figures: Product costs: Value of originating materials - intermediate materials - other materials
$10.60 $3.00
Value of non-originating materials
$5.50
Other product costs:
$6.50
Period costs:
$2.50
Other costs:
$0.10
Total cost of the bicycle:
$28.20
Example 3 (subsection (7)): Effects of the designation of self-produced materials on net cost The ability to designate intermediate materials helps to put the vertically integrated producer who is self-producing materials that are used in the production of a good on par with a producer who is purchasing materials and valuing those materials in accordance with subsection (1). The following situations demonstrate how this is achieved: Situation A A producer located in a CUSMA country produces a bicycle that is subject to a regional value content requirement of 50% under the net cost method. The bicycle satisfies all other applicable requirements of these Regulations. The producer purchases a bicycle frame, which is used in the production of the bicycle, from a supplier located in a CUSMA country. The value of the frame determined in accordance with subsection (1) is $11.00. The frame is an originating material. All other
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 4 Material Section 8
materials used in the production of the bicycle are nonoriginating materials. The net cost of the bicycle is determined as follows: Product costs: Value of originating materials (bicycle frame) $11.00 Value of non-originating materials
$5.50
Other product costs
$6.50
Period costs (including $0.20 in excluded costs):
$0.50
Other costs:
$0.10
Total cost of the bicycle: Excluded costs (included in period costs): Net cost of the bicycle:

The regional value content of the bicycle is calculated as follows: RVC
=
(NC − VNM) ÷ NC × 100
=
($23.40 − $5.50) ÷ $23.40 × 100
=
76.5%
The regional value content of the bicycle is 76.5% and the bicycle, therefore, qualifies as an originating good. Situation B A producer located in a CUSMA country produces a bicycle that is subject to a regional value content requirement of 50% under the net cost method. The bicycle satisfies all other applicable requirements of these Regulations. The producer self-produces the bicycle frame that is used in the production of the bicycle. The costs to produce the frame are the following: Product costs: Value of originating materials

The regional value content of the bicycle is 42.9% and the bicycle, therefore, does not qualify as an originating good. Situation C A producer located in a CUSMA country produces a bicycle that is subject to a regional value content requirement of 50% under the net cost method. The bicycle

satisfies all other applicable requirements of these Regulations. The producer self-produces the bicycle frame that is used in the production of the bicycle. The costs to produce the frame are the following: Product costs: Value of originating materials

The producer designates the frame as an intermediate material under subsection (6). The frame qualifies as an originating material under subsection 3(2). Therefore, the value of non-originating materials used in the production of the frame is not included in the value of nonoriginating materials for the purpose of calculating the regional value content of the bicycle.

76.1%
The regional value content of the bicycle is 76.1% and the bicycle, therefore, qualifies as an originating good. Example 4: Originating materials acquired from a producer who produced them using intermediate materials Producer A, located in CUSMA country A, produces switches. In order for the switches to qualify as originating goods, Producer A designates subassemblies of the switches as intermediate materials. The subassemblies are subject to a regional value content requirement. They satisfy that requirement and qualify as originating materials. The switches are also subject to a regional value content requirement and, with the subassemblies designated as intermediate materials, are determined to have a regional value content of 65%.
Producer A sells the switches to Producer B, located in CUSMA country B, who uses them to produce switch assemblies that are used in the production of Good B. The switch assemblies are subject to a regional value content requirement. Producers A and B are not accumulating their production within the meaning of section 9. Producer B is therefore able, under subsection (6), to designate the switch assemblies as intermediate materials.
If Producers A and B were accumulating their production within the meaning of section 9, Producer B would be unable to designate the switch assemblies as
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 4 Material Section 8
intermediate materials because the production of both producers would be considered to be the production of one producer. Example 5: Single producer and successive designations of materials subject to a regional value content requirement as intermediate materials Producer A, located in a CUSMA country, produces Material X and uses Material X in the production of Good B. Material X qualifies as an originating material because it satisfies the applicable regional value content requirement. Producer A designates Material X as an intermediate material. Producer A uses Material X in the production of Material Y, which is also used in the production of Good B. Material Y is also subject to a regional value content requirement. Under the proviso set out in subsection (6), Producer A cannot designate Material Y as an intermediate material, even if Material Y satisfies the applicable regional value content requirement, because Material X was already designated by Producer A as an intermediate material. Example 6: Single producer and multiple designations of materials as intermediate materials Producer X, located in CUSMA country X, uses nonoriginating materials in the production of self-produced materials A, B and C. None of the self-produced materials are used in the production of any of the other selfproduced materials. Producer X uses the self-produced materials in the production of Good O, which is exported to CUSMA country Y. Materials A, B and C qualify as originating materials because they satisfy the applicable regional value content requirements. Because none of the self-produced materials are used in the production of any of the other self-produced materials, then even though each self-produced material is subject to a regional value content requirement, Producer X may, under subsection (6), designate all of the selfproduced materials as intermediate materials. The proviso set out in subsection (6) only applies if selfproduced materials are used in the production of other self-produced materials and both are subject to a regional value content requirement. Example 7 (subsection (23)): The following are examples of accessories, spare parts, tools, or instructional or other information materials that are delivered with a good and form part of the good’s standard accessories, spare parts, tools, or instructional or other information materials:
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020

(a) consumables that must be replaced at regular intervals, such as dust collectors for an air-conditioning system; (b) carrying cases for equipment; (c) dust covers for machines; (d) operational manuals for vehicles; (e) brackets to attach equipment to a wall; (f) bicycle tool kits or car jacks; (g) sets of wrenches to change the bit on a chuck; (h) brushes or other tools to clean out machines; and (i) electrical cords and power bars for use with electronic goods.
Example 8: Value of indirect materials that are assists Producer A, located in a CUSMA country, produces a well-water pump that is subject to a regional value content requirement. The producer chooses to calculate the regional value content of that good using the net cost method. Producer A buys a mould-injected plastic water flow sensor from Producer B, located in the same CUSMA country, and uses it in the production of the pump. Producer A provides to Producer B, at no charge, moulds to be used in the production of the water flow sensor. The moulds have a value of $100 which is expensed in the current year by Producer A. The water flow sensor is subject to a regional value content requirement which Producer B chooses to calculate using the net cost method. For the purpose of determining the value of non-originating materials in order to calculate the regional value content of the water flow sensor, the moulds are considered to be an originating material because they are an indirect material. However, under subsection (13) they have a value of nil because the cost of the moulds with respect to the water flow sensor is not recorded on the books of Producer B. It is determined that the water flow sensor is a nonoriginating material. The cost of the moulds that is recorded on the books of Producer A is expensed in the current year. Under section 4 of Schedule 6, the value of the moulds (see subparagraph 4(1)(b)(ii) of Schedule 6) must be included in the value of the water flow sensor by Producer A when calculating the regional value content of the well-water pump. The cost of the moulds, although recorded on the books of producer A, cannot be included as a separate cost in the net cost of the wellwater pump because it is already included in the value of the water flow sensor. The entire cost of the water
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020

flow sensor, which includes the cost of the moulds, is included in the value of non-originating materials for the purposes of calculating the regional value content of the well-water pump.
PART 5
General Provisions Accumulation 9 (1) Subject to subsections (2) to (5), (a) a good is originating if it is produced in the territory of one or more of the CUSMA countries by one or more producers and it satisfies the requirements of section 3 and all other applicable requirements of these Regulations; (b) an originating good or material of one or more of the CUSMA countries is considered as originating in the territory of another CUSMA country if it is used as a material in the production of a good in the territory of that other CUSMA country; and (c) production undertaken on a non-originating material in the territory of one or more of the CUSMA countries may contribute to the originating status of a good, regardless of whether that production was sufficient to confer originating status to the material itself.
Accumulation — net cost method (2) If a good is subject to a regional value content requirement based on the net cost method and an exporter or producer of the good has a statement signed by a producer of a material that is used in the production of the good that (a) states the net cost incurred and the value of nonoriginating materials used by the producer of the material in the production of that material, (i) the net cost incurred by the producer of the good with respect to the material is to be the net cost incurred by the producer of the material plus, if not included in the net cost incurred by the producer of the material, the costs referred to in paragraphs 8(2)(a) to (c), and (ii) the value of non-originating materials used by
the producer of the good with respect to the material is the value of non-originating materials used by the producer of the material; or (b) states any amount, other than an amount that includes any of the value of non-originating materials,

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 5 General Provisions Section 9
that is part of the net cost incurred by the producer of the material in the production of that material, (i) the net cost incurred by the producer of the good with respect to the material is the value of the material, determined in accordance with subsection 8(1), and (ii) the value of non-originating materials used by
the producer of the good with respect to the material is the value of the material, determined in accordance with subsection 8(1), minus the amount stated in the statement. Accumulation — transaction value method (3) If a good is subject to a regional value content requirement based on the transaction value method and an exporter or producer of the good has a statement signed by a producer of a material that is used in the production of the good that states the value of non-originating materials used by the producer of the material in the production of that material, the value of non-originating materials used by the producer of the good with respect to the material is the value of non-originating materials used by the producer of the material.
Averaging — net cost method (4) If a good is subject to a regional value content requirement based on the net cost method and an exporter or producer of the good does not have a statement described in subsection (2) but has a statement signed by a producer of a material that is used in the production of the good that (a) states the sum of the net costs incurred and the
sum of the values of non-originating materials used by the producer of the material in the production of that material and identical materials or similar materials, or any combination thereof, produced in a single plant by the producer of the material over a month or any consecutive three-, six- or twelve-month period that falls within the fiscal year of the producer of the good, divided by the number of units of materials with respect to which the statement is made, (i) the net cost incurred by the producer of the
good with respect to the material is the sum of the net costs incurred by the producer of the material with respect to that material and the identical materials or similar materials, divided by the number of units of materials with respect to which the statement is made, plus, if not included in the net costs incurred by the producer of the material, the costs referred to in paragraphs 8(2)(a) to (c), and

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 5 General Provisions Section 9
Single producer (6) For the purposes of subsection 8(6), if a producer of the good chooses to accumulate the production of materials under subsection (1), that production is considered to be the production of the producer of the good.
Particulars (7) For the purposes of this section, (a) in order to accumulate the production of a material, (i) if the good is subject to a regional value content requirement, the producer of the good must have a statement described in any of subsections (2) to (5) that is signed by the producer of the material, and (ii) if an applicable change in tariff classification is applied to determine whether the good is an originating good, the producer of the good must have a statement signed by the producer of the material that states the tariff classification of all non-originating materials used by that producer in the production of that material and that the production of the material took place entirely in the territory of one or more of the CUSMA countries; (b) a producer of a good who chooses to accumulate is not required to accumulate the production of all materials that are incorporated into the good; and (c) any information set out in a statement referred to
in any of subsections (2) to (5) that concerns the value of materials or costs must be in the same currency as the currency of the country in which the person who provided the statement is located.
Examples (8) Each of the following examples is an “Example” as referred to in subsection 1(4).
Example 1 (subsection (1)): Producer A, located in CUSMA country A, imports unfinished bearing rings provided for in subheading 8482.99 into CUSMA country A from the territory of a non-CUSMA country. Producer A further processes the unfinished bearing rings into finished bearing rings, which are of the same subheading. The finished bearing rings of Producer A do not satisfy an applicable change in tariff classification and therefore do not qualify as originating goods.
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 5 General Provisions Section 9
The net cost of the finished bearing rings (per unit) is calculated as follows: Product costs: Value of originating materials

Net cost of the finished bearing rings, per unit: $1.40
Producer A sells the finished bearing rings to Producer B, who is located in CUSMA country A, for $1.50 each. Producer B further processes them into bearings and intends to export the bearings to CUSMA country B. Although the bearings satisfy the applicable change in tariff classification, the bearings are subject to a regional value content requirement. Situation A Producer B does not choose to accumulate costs incurred by Producer A with respect to the bearing rings used in the production of the bearings. The net cost of the bearings (per unit) is calculated as follows: Product costs: Value of originating materials
$0.45
Value of non-originating materials (value, per unit, of the bearing rings purchased from Producer A) $1.50 Other product costs

$0.05
Total cost of the bearings, per unit:
$2.90
Excluded costs (included in period costs):

Net cost of the bearings, per unit:
$2.85
Under the net cost method, the regional value content of the bearings is

RVC
=
(NC − VNM) ÷ NC × 100
=
($2.85 − $1.50) ÷ $2.85 × 100
=
47.4%
Therefore, the bearings are non-originating goods. Situation B Producer B chooses to accumulate costs incurred by Producer A with respect to the bearing rings used in the production of the bearings. Producer A provides a statement described in paragraph (2)(a) to Producer B. The net cost of the bearings (per unit) is calculated as follows: Product costs: Value of originating materials ($0.45 + $0.15)
$0.60
Value of non-originating materials (value, per unit, of the unfinished bearing rings imported by Producer A) $0.75 Other product costs ($0.75 + $0.35)
$1.10
Period costs (($0.15 + $0.15), including $0.10 in excluded costs): $0.30 Other costs ($0.05 + $0.05):
$0.10
Total cost of the bearings, per unit:
$2.85
Excluded costs (included in period costs):
$0.10
Net cost of the bearings, per unit:
$2.75
Under the net cost method, the regional value content of the bearings is RVC
=
(NC − VNM) ÷ NC × 100
=
($2.75 − $0.75) ÷ $2.75 × 100
=
72.7%
Therefore, the bearings are originating goods. Situation C Producer B chooses to accumulate costs incurred by Producer A with respect to the bearing rings used in the production of the bearings. Producer A provides to Producer B a statement described in paragraph (2)(b) that specifies an amount equal to the net cost minus the value of non-originating materials used to produce the finished bearing rings ($1.40 - $0.75 = $0.65). The net cost of the bearings (per unit) is calculated as follows: Product costs:

Therefore, the bearings are originating goods. Situation D Producer B chooses to accumulate costs incurred by Producer A with respect to the bearing rings used in the production of the bearings. Producer A provides to Producer B a statement described in paragraph (2)(b) that specifies an amount equal to the value of other product costs used in the production of the finished bearing rings ($0.35).

Therefore, the bearings are originating goods. Situation E Producer B chooses to accumulate costs incurred by Producer A with respect to the bearing rings used in the production of the bearings. Producer A provides to Producer B a signed statement described in subsection (3) that specifies the value of non-originating materials used in the production of the finished bearing rings ($0.75). Producer B chooses to calculate the regional value content of the bearings under the transaction value method. The regional value content of the bearings (per unit) is calculated as follow: Product costs: Transaction value of the bearings, per unit
$3.15
Costs incurred, per unit, in the international shipment of the good (included in transaction value of the bearings) $0.15 Transaction value, per unit, adjusted to exclude any costs incurred in the international shipment of the good $3.00 Value of non-originating materials (value, per unit, of the unfinished bearing rings imported by Producer A) $0.75
Under the transaction value method, the regional value content of the bearing is RVC
=
(TV − VNM) ÷ TV × 100
=
($3.00 − $0.75) ÷ $3.00 × 100
=
75%
Therefore, because the bearings have a regional value content of at least 60% under transaction value method, the bearings are originating goods. Example 2 (subsection (1)): Producer A, located in CUSMA country A, imports nonoriginating cotton, carded or combed, provided for in heading 52.03 for use in the production of cotton yarn provided for in heading 52.05. Because the change from cotton, carded or combed, to cotton yarn is a change
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 5 General Provisions Sections 9-10
within the same Chapter, the cotton does not satisfy the applicable change in tariff classification for heading 52.05, which is a change from any other Chapter, with certain exceptions. Therefore, the cotton yarn that Producer A produces from non-originating cotton is a nonoriginating good. Producer A then sells the non-originating cotton yarn to Producer B, also located in CUSMA country A, who uses the cotton yarn in the production of woven fabric of cotton provided for in heading 52.08. The change from nonoriginating cotton yarn to woven fabric of cotton is insufficient to satisfy the applicable change in tariff classification for heading 52.08, which is a change from any heading outside headings 52.08 through 52.12, except from certain headings, under which various yarns, including cotton yarn provided for in heading 52.05, are classified. Therefore, the woven fabric of cotton that Producer B produces from non-originating cotton yarn produced by Producer A is a non-originating good. However, Producer B can choose to accumulate the production of Producer A. The rule for heading 52.08, under which the cotton fabric is classified, does not exclude a change from heading 52.03, under which carded or combed cotton is classified. Therefore, under subsection (1), the change from carded or combed cotton provided for in heading 52.03 to the woven fabric of cotton provided for in heading 52.08 satisfies the applicable change of tariff classification for heading 52.08. The woven fabric of cotton is considered as an originating good. Producer B, in order to choose to accumulate Producer A’s production, must have a statement described in subparagraph (7)(a)(ii). Transport requirements — retention of originating status 10 (1) If an originating good is transported outside the territories of the CUSMA countries, the good retains its originating status if (a) the good remains under customs control outside the territories of the CUSMA countries; and (b) the good does not undergo further production or
any other operation outside the territories of the CUSMA countries, other than unloading, reloading, separation from a bulk shipment, storing, labelling or other marking required by the importing CUSMA country or any other operation necessary to transport the good to the territory of the importing CUSMA country or to preserve the good in good condition, including

of subsection (1) is considered to be entirely non-originating for the purposes of these Regulations.
Exceptions for certain goods (3) Subsection (1) does not apply with respect to (a) a “smart card” of subheading 8523.52 containing a
single integrated circuit, if any further production or other operation that that good undergoes outside the territories of the CUSMA countries does not result in a change in the tariff classification of the good to any other subheading; (b) a good of any of subheadings 8541.10 through 8541.60 or 8542.31 through 8542.39, if any further production or other operation that that good undergoes outside the territories of the CUSMA countries does not result in a change in the tariff classification of the good to a subheading outside of that group; (c) an
electronic microassembly of subheading 8543.90, if any further production or other operation that that good undergoes outside the territories of the CUSMA countries does not result in a change in the tariff classification of the good to any other subheading; or (d) an

weekends. If a worker is paid by a third party, such as a temporary employment agency, only the wages received by the worker are included in the average hourly base wage rate calculation. For direct production workers, the average base hourly wage rate of pay is calculated based on all of their working hours. For other workers performing direct production work, the average base hourly rate is calculated based on the number of hours performing direct production work.

Further Requirements Related to the RVC for Passenger Vehicles, Light Trucks and Parts Thereof Roll-up of originating materials 14 (1) The VNM used by the producer in the production of a passenger vehicle, light truck and parts thereof must not, for the purposes of calculating the RVC of the good, include the VNM used to produce originating materials that are subsequently used in the production of the good. For greater certainty, if the production undertaken on non-originating materials results in the production of a good that qualifies as originating, no account shall be taken of the non-originating material contained therein if that good is used in the subsequent production of another good.
Core parts listed in Table A.1 (2) A part listed in Table A.1 that is for use as original equipment in the production of a passenger vehicle or light truck, except for batteries of subheading 8507.60 that are used as the primary source of electrical power for the propulsion of an electric passenger vehicle or an electric light truck, is originating only if it satisfies the RVC requirement in this section, section 13 or Schedule 1.
Batteries (3) A battery of subheading 8507.60 that is used as the primary source of electrical power for the propulsion of an electric passenger vehicle or an electric light truck is originating if it meets the applicable requirements set out in this section or Schedule 1.
Passenger vehicle or light truck — parts (4) In addition to other applicable requirements set out
in these Regulations, a passenger vehicle or light truck is
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 6 Automotive Goods Further Requirements Related to the RVC for Passenger Vehicles, Light Trucks and Parts Thereof Section 14
only originating if the parts listed in column 1 of Table A.2 used in its production are originating. The VNM for such parts must be calculated in accordance with subsections (7) and (8), or, at the choice of the vehicle producer or exporter, subsections (9) to (11). The net cost of a part must be calculated in accordance with section 7 without regard to the VNM calculation method chosen.
RVC requirement — passenger vehicle or light truck (5) Except for an advanced battery of subheading
8507.60, a part listed in column 1 of Table A.2 that is for use in a passenger vehicle or light truck must meet the RVC requirement of section 13 or Schedule 1 to be considered originating.
Advanced batteries (6) An advanced battery of subheading 8507.60 that is for
use in a passenger vehicle or light truck is originating if it meets the applicable change in tariff classification or RVC requirements set out in Schedule 1.
VNM determination (7) For the purpose of subsections (4) to (6), when calculating the RVC of a part listed in column 1 of Table A.2, the VNM must be determined, at the choice of the vehicle producer or exporter, by taking into consideration (a) the VNM used in the production of the part; or (b) the value of non-originating components that are listed in column 2 of Table A.2 that are used in the production of the part.
Materials not listed in column 2 (8) For the purposes of an RVC calculation for a good
listed in column 1 of Table A.2, based on paragraph (7)(b), any non-originating materials used in the production of the good that are not listed in column 2 of Table A.2 may be disregarded. For greater certainty, any nonoriginating parts listed in column 2 of Table A.2 must be included in the VNM calculation and any parts not listed in column 2 of Table A.2 — or materials or components used to produce such parts — are not to be part of the VNM calculation.

Non-application (9) Subsections (7) and (8) do not apply when calculating the RVC of a part listed in column 1 of Table A.2 traded on its own. The rules for such parts are listed in section 13 or Schedule 1.
Super-core part (10) For the purpose of subsections (4) to (6) and as an alternative to determining the VNM based on the method in subsection (7), the RVC of the parts listed in column 1 of Table A.2 may be determined, at the choice of the vehicle producer or exporter, by treating these parts as a single part, which may be referred to as a super-core part, using the sum of the net cost of each part listed under column 1 of Table A.2 , and, when calculating the VNM, by taking into consideration (a) the sum of the value of all non-originating materials used in the production of the parts listed under column 1 of table A.2; or (b) the sum of the value of the non-originating components that are listed in column 2 of Table A.2 that are used in the production of the parts listed in column 1 of Table A.2.
Further production (11) If a non-originating material used in the production
of a component listed in column 2 of Table A.2 undergoes further production such that it satisfies the requirements of these Regulations, the component is treated as originating when determining the originating status of the subsequently produced part listed in column 1 of Table A.2, regardless of whether that component was produced by the producer of the part.
Averaging (12) The RVC requirements for the parts listed in the left
hand column 1 of Table A.2 may be averaged in accordance with section 16. Such an average may be calculated using the average RVC for each individual parts category in column 1 of Table A.2, or by calculating the average RVC for all parts in column 1 of Table A.2 by treating them as a single part, defined as a super-core. Once this average, by either methodology, exceeds the thresholds set out in subsection (13), all parts used to calculate this average are considered originating.

may be certified as a qualifying wage-rate vehicle
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 6 Automotive Goods Labour Value Content Section 18
assembly plant or a qualifying-wage-rate production plant based on the average wage paid to direct production workers at the plant from July 1, 2020 until December 31, 2020 or from July 1, 2020 until June 30, 2021. In subsequent periods, the certification of a qualifyingwage-rate production plant based on a period less than 12 months is valid for the following period of the same length. The certification of a qualifying-wage-rate production plant based on a 12-month period is valid for the following 12 months.
LVC calculation (6) For the purpose of meeting the LVC requirement a producer must use one of the following formulas: (a) the requirement based on net cost is determined by the formula LVC = (
(HWLC + HWM) X 100) + HWTC + HWAC NC
where HWLC
is the sum of the high-wage labour costs incurred in the assembly of the vehicle;
HWM
is the sum or the high-wage material expenditures used in production; is the net cost of the vehicle;
NC
HWTC
is the credit for high-wage technology expenditures; and
HWAC
is the credit for high-wage assembly expenditures.
(b) the requirement based on total annual purchase value is determined by the formula (APV + HWLC)
LVC = ( (TAPV + HWLC) X 100) + HWTC + HWAC
where APV
is the annual purchase value of high-wage material expenditures;
HWLC
is the sum of the high-wage labour costs incurred in the assembly of the vehicle which may be included in the numerator at the choice of the producer and, if included, must also be included in the denominator;
TAPV
is the total vehicle plant assembly annual purchase value of parts and materials for use in the production of the vehicle;
HWTC
is the credit for high-wage technology expenditures; and
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations PART 6 Automotive Goods Labour Value Content Section 18
HWAC
is the credit for high-wage assembly expenditures.
High-wage material expenditures (7) The high wage material expenditures is calculated by adding the APV or net cost, depending on the formula used, of (a) a self-produced high-wage material used in the production of a vehicle; (b) an imported or acquired high-wage material used
in the production of a vehicle; (c) a high-wage material used in the production of a part or material that is used in the production of an intermediate or self-produced part that is subsequently used in the production of a vehicle; and (d) a high wage material used in the production of a part or material that is subsequently used in the production of a vehicle.
Recommendation (8) It is suggested, but not required, that the vehicle producer calculate the high-wage material and labour expenditures in the order described in subsection (7). A vehicle producer need not calculate the elements in paragraph (7)(b) to (d) if the previous element or elements is sufficient to meet the LVC requirement.
High-wage technology expenditures credit (9) The HWTC is based on annual vehicle producer expenditures at the corporate level in one or more CUSMA countries on wages paid by the producer for research and development or information technology, calculated as a percentage of total annual vehicle producer expenditures on wages paid to direct production workers in one or more CUSMA countries. Expenditures on capital or other non-wage costs for research and development or information technology are not included.
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations SCHEDULE 3 Value of Goods
SCHEDULE 3 (Subparagraphs 5(1)(a)(i) and (4)(a)(i), subsection 7(2), paragraph 7(7)(a) and Schedules 4 and 5)
Value of Goods 1 Unless otherwise stated, the following definitions apply in this Schedule. buyer refers to a person who purchases a good from the producer. (acheteur) buying commissions means fees paid by a buyer to that buyer’s agent or mandatary for the agent or mandatary’s services in representing the buyer in the purchase of a good. (commission d’achat) producer refers to the producer of the good being valued. (producteur) 2 For the purposes of subsection 7(2) of these Regulations, the transaction value of a good is the price actually paid or payable for the good, determined in accordance with section 3 and adjusted in accordance with section 4. 3 (1) The price actually paid or payable is the total payment made or to be made by the buyer to or for the benefit of the producer. The payment need not necessarily take the form of a transfer of money; it may be made by letters of credit or negotiable instruments. The payment may be made directly or indirectly to the producer. For an illustration of this, the settlement by the buyer, whether in whole or in part, of a debt owed by the producer is an indirect payment. (2) Activities undertaken by the buyer on the buyer’s
own account, other than those for which an adjustment is provided in section 4, are not considered to be an indirect payment, even though the activities may be regarded as being for the benefit of the producer. For an illustration of this, if the buyer, by agreement with the producer, undertakes activities relating to the marketing of the good, the costs of such activities are not to be added to the price actually paid or payable. (3) The transaction value is not to include the following
charges or costs, if they are distinguished from the price actually paid or payable: (a) charges
for construction, erection, assembly, maintenance or technical assistance related to the good undertaken after the good is sold to the buyer; or

(b) duties and taxes paid in the country in which the
buyer is located with respect to the good. (4) The flow of dividends or other payments from the
buyer to the producer that do not relate to the purchase of the good are not part of the transaction value. 4 (1) In determining the transaction value of a good, the
following must be added to the price actually paid or payable: (a) to the extent that they are incurred by the buyer, or by a related person on behalf of the buyer, with respect to the good being valued and are not included in the price actually paid or payable (i) commissions and brokerage fees, except buying
commissions, (ii) the costs of transporting the good to the producer’s point of direct shipment and the costs of loading, unloading, handling and insurance that are associated with that transportation, and (iii) if the packaging materials and containers are
classified with the good under the Harmonized System, the value of the packaging materials and containers; (b) the value, reasonably allocated in accordance with
subsection (13), of the following elements if they are supplied directly or indirectly to the producer by the buyer, free of charge or at reduced cost for use in connection with the production and sale of the good, to the extent that the value is not included in the price actually paid or payable: (i) materials, other than indirect materials, used in the production of the good, (ii) tools, dies, moulds and similar indirect materials used in the production of the good, (iii) indirect materials, other than any of the indirect materials referred to in subparagraph (ii) or in paragraph (c), (e) or (f) of the definition indirect material in subsection 1(1) of these Regulations, used in the production of the good, and (iv) engineering, development, artwork, design work, and plans and sketches necessary for the production of the good, regardless of where performed; (c) the royalties related to the good, other than

(2) The additions referred to in subsection (1) must be made to the price actually paid or payable under this section only on the basis of objective and quantifiable data. (3) If objective and quantifiable data do not exist with regard to the additions required to be made to the price actually paid or payable under subsection (1), the transaction value cannot be determined under section 2. (4) Additions must not be made to the price actually paid
or payable for the purpose of determining the transaction value except as provided in this section. (5) The amounts to be added under subparagraphs (1)(a)(i) and (ii) are (a) those amounts that are recorded on the books of
the buyer; or (b) if those amounts are costs incurred by a related
person on behalf of the buyer and are not recorded on the books of the buyer, those amounts that are recorded on the books of that related person. (6) The value of the packaging materials and containers
referred to in subparagraph (1)(a)(iii) and the value of the elements referred to in subparagraph (1)(b)(i) are (a) if the packaging materials and containers or the elements are imported from outside the territory of the CUSMA country in which the producer is located, the customs value of the packaging materials and containers or the elements; (b) if the buyer, or a related person on behalf of the buyer, purchases the packaging materials and containers or the elements from a person in the territory of the CUSMA country in which the producer is located who is not a related person, the price actually paid or

buyer, acquires the packaging materials and containers or the elements from a person in the territory of the CUSMA country in which the producer is located who is not a related person other than through a purchase, the value of the consideration related to the acquisition of the packaging materials and containers or the elements, based on the cost of the consideration that is recorded on the books of the buyer or the related person; or (d) if the packaging materials and containers or the elements are produced by the buyer, or by a related person, in the territory of the CUSMA country in which the producer is located, the total cost of the packaging materials and containers or the elements, determined in accordance with subsection (8). (7) The value referred to in subsection (6), to the extent that such costs are not included under paragraphs (6)(a) to (d), must include the following costs that are recorded on the books of the buyer or the related person supplying the packaging materials and containers or the elements on behalf of the buyer: (a) the costs of freight, insurance and packing, and all
other costs incurred in transporting the packaging materials and containers or the elements to the location of the producer; (b) duties and taxes paid or payable with respect to the packaging materials and containers or the elements, other than duties and taxes that are waived, refunded, refundable or otherwise recoverable, including credit against duty or tax paid or payable; (c) customs brokerage fees, including the cost of inhouse customs brokerage services, incurred with respect to the packaging materials and containers or the elements; and (d) the cost of waste and spoilage resulting from the
use of the packaging materials and containers or the elements in the production of the good, less the value of renewable scrap or by-product.

produced by the buyer, calculated on the basis of the costs that are recorded on the books of the buyer, that can be reasonably allocated to the packaging materials and containers or the elements in accordance with Schedule 5, or (ii) the aggregate of each cost incurred by the buyer
that forms part of the total cost incurred with respect to the packaging materials and containers or the elements, calculated on the basis of the costs that are recorded on the books of the buyer, that can be reasonably allocated to the packaging materials and containers or the elements in accordance with Schedule 5; and (b) if the packaging materials and containers or the elements are produced by a person who is related to the buyer, at the choice of the buyer, (i) the total cost incurred with respect to all goods
produced by that related person, calculated on the basis of the costs that are recorded on the books of that person, that can be reasonably allocated to the packaging materials and containers or the elements in accordance with Schedule 5, or (ii) the aggregate of each cost incurred by that related person that forms part of the total cost incurred with respect to the packaging materials and containers or the elements, calculated on the basis of the costs that are recorded on the books of that person, that can be reasonably allocated to the packaging materials and containers or the elements in accordance with Schedule 5. (9) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (11) and
(12), the value of the elements referred to in subparagraphs (1)(b)(ii) to (iv) is (a) the cost of those elements that is recorded on the books of the buyer; or (b) if such elements are provided by another person
on behalf of the buyer and the cost is not recorded on the books of the buyer, the cost of those elements that is recorded on the books of that other person. (10) If the elements referred to in subparagraphs
(1)(b)(ii) to (iv) were previously used by or on behalf of the buyer, the value of those elements must be adjusted downward to reflect that use.

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations SCHEDULE 3 Value of Goods
(11) If the elements referred to in subparagraphs (1)(b)(ii) and (iii) were leased by the buyer or a person related to the buyer, the value of those elements are the cost of the lease as recorded on the books of the buyer or that related person. (12) An addition must not be made to the price actually
paid or payable for the elements referred to in subparagraph (1)(b)(iv) that are available in the public domain, other than the cost of obtaining copies of them. (13) The producer must choose the method of allocating
to the good the value of the elements referred to in subparagraphs (1)(b)(ii) to (iv), if the value is reasonably allocated to the good. The methods the producer may choose to allocate the value include allocating the value over the number of units produced up to the time of the first shipment or allocating the value over the entire anticipated production if contracts or firm commitments exist for that production. For an illustration of this, a buyer provides the producer with a mould to be used in the production of the good and contracts with the producer to buy 10,000 units of that good. By the time the first shipment of 1,000 units arrives, the producer has already produced 4,000 units. In these circumstances, the producer may choose to allocate the value of the mould over 4,000 units or 10,000 units but must not choose to allocate the value of the elements to the first shipment of 1,000 units. The producer may choose to allocate the entire value of the elements to a single shipment of a good only if that single shipment comprises all of the units of the good acquired by the buyer under the contract or commitment for that number of units of the good between the producer and the buyer. (14) The addition for the royalties referred to in paragraph (1)(c) is the payment for the royalties that is recorded on the books of the buyer or, if the payment for the royalties is recorded on the books of another person, the payment for the royalties that is recorded on the books of that other person. (15) The value of the proceeds referred to in paragraph
(1)(d) is the amount that is recorded for such proceeds on the books of the buyer or the producer.

SCHEDULE 4 (Subsection 8(4))
Unacceptable Transaction Value 1 Unless otherwise stated, the following definitions apply in this Schedule. buyer refers to a person who purchases a good from the producer. (acheteur) producer refers to the producer of the good being valued. (producteur) 2 (1) There is no transaction value for a good if the good is not the subject of a sale. (2) The transaction value of a good is unacceptable if (a) there are restrictions on the disposal or use of the
good by the buyer, other than restrictions that (i) are imposed or required by law or by the public
authorities in the territory of the CUSMA country in which the buyer is located, (ii) limit the geographical area in which the good may be resold, or (iii) do not substantially affect the value of the good; (b) the sale or price actually paid or payable is subject
to a condition or consideration for which a value cannot be determined with respect to the good; (c) part of the proceeds of any subsequent resale, disposal or use of the good by the buyer will accrue directly or indirectly to the producer and an appropriate addition to the price actually paid or payable cannot be made in accordance with paragraph 4(1)(d) of Schedule 3; or (d) the producer and the buyer are related persons
and the relationship between them influenced the price actually paid or payable for the good.
(3) The conditions or considerations referred to in paragraph (2)(b) include the following circumstances:
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations SCHEDULE 4 Unacceptable Transaction Value
(a) the producer establishes the price actually paid or
payable for the good on condition that the buyer will also buy other goods in specified quantities; (b) the price actually paid or payable for the good is dependent on the price or prices at which the buyer sells other goods to the producer; and (c) the price actually paid or payable is established on the basis of a form of payment extraneous to the good, such as when the good is a semi-finished good that is provided by the producer to the buyer on condition that the producer will receive a specified quantity of the finished good from the buyer. (4) For the purposes of paragraph (2)(b), conditions or
considerations relating to the production or marketing of the good do not render the transaction value unacceptable, such as if the buyer undertakes on the buyer’s own account, even though by agreement with the producer, activities relating to the marketing of the good. (5) If objective and quantifiable data do not exist with regard to the additions required to be made to the price actually paid or payable under subsection 4(1) of Schedule 3, the transaction value cannot be determined under section 2 of that Schedule. For an illustration of this, a royalty is paid on the basis of the price actually paid or payable in a sale of a litre of a particular good that was purchased by the kilogram and made up into a solution. If the royalty is based partially on the purchased good and partially on other factors that have nothing to do with that good, such as when the purchased good is mixed with other ingredients and is no longer separately identifiable, or when the royalty cannot be distinguished from special financial arrangements between the producer and the buyer, it would be inappropriate to add the royalty and the transaction value of the good could not be determined. However, if the amount of the royalty is based only on the purchased good and can be readily quantified, an addition to the price actually paid or payable can be made and the transaction value can be determined.

Methods to Reasonably Allocate Costs 3 (1) If a producer of a good is using, for an internal management purpose, a cost allocation method to allocate to the good direct material costs, or part thereof, and that method reasonably reflects the direct material used in the production of the good based on the criterion of benefit, cause or ability to bear, that method must be used to reasonably allocate the costs to the good.
(2) If a producer of a good is using, for an internal management purpose, a cost allocation method to allocate to the good direct labour costs, or part thereof, and that method reasonably reflects the direct labour used in the production of the good based on the criterion of benefit, cause or ability to bear, that method must be used to reasonably allocate the costs to the good.
(3) If a producer of a good is using, for an internal management purpose, a cost allocation method to allocate to the good overhead, or part thereof, and that method is based on the criterion of benefit, cause or ability to bear, that method must be used to reasonably allocate the costs to the good. 4 If costs are not reasonably allocated to a good under section 3, those costs are reasonably allocated to the good if they are allocated (a) with respect to direct material costs, on the basis of any method that reasonably reflects the direct material used in the production of the good based on the criterion of benefit, cause or ability to bear; (b) with respect to direct labour costs, on the basis of
any method that reasonably reflects the direct labour used in the production of the good based on the criterion of benefit, cause or ability to bear; and

following methods: (i) the method set out in Appendix A, B or C, (ii) a method based on a combination of the methods set out in Appendices A and B or Appendices A and C, and (iii) a cost allocation method based on the criterion
of benefit, cause or ability to bear.
5 Notwithstanding sections 3 and 8, if a producer allocates, for an internal management purpose, costs to a good that is not produced in the period in which the costs are expensed on the books of the producer (such as costs with respect to research and development and obsolete materials), those costs are considered reasonably allocated if (a) for the purposes of subsection 7(11) of these Regulations, they are allocated to a good that is produced in the period in which the costs are expensed; and (b) the good produced in that period is within a group or range of goods, including identical goods or similar goods, that is produced by the same industry or industry sector as the goods to which the costs are expensed.
6 Any cost allocation method referred to in section 3, 4 or 5 that is used by a producer for the purposes of these Regulations must be used throughout the producer’s fiscal year.
Costs Not Reasonably Allocated 7 The allocation to a good of any of the following is considered not to be reasonably allocated to the good: (a) costs of a service provided by a producer of a good to another person if the service is not related to the good; (b) gains or losses resulting from the disposal of a discontinued operation, except gains or losses related to the production of the good;

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations APPENDIX A Cost Ratio Method
APPENDIX A
Cost Ratio Method Calculation of Cost Ratio For the overhead to be allocated, the producer may choose one or more allocation bases that reflect a relationship between the overhead and the good based on the criterion of benefit, cause or ability to bear. With respect to each allocation base that is chosen by the producer for allocating overhead, a cost ratio is calculated for each good produced by the producer as determined by the formula CR = AB ÷ TAB
where CR
is the cost ratio with respect to the good;
AB
is the allocation base for the good; and is the total allocation base for all the goods produced by the producer.
TAB
Allocation to a Good of Costs Included in Overhead The costs with respect to which an allocation base is chosen are allocated to a good in accordance with the following formula: CAG = CA × CR
where CAG
is the costs allocated to the good;
CA
is the costs to be allocated; and
CR
is the cost ratio with respect to the good.
Excluded Costs Under paragraph 7(11)(b) of these Regulations, if excluded costs are included in costs to be allocated to a good, the cost ratio used to allocate that cost to the good is used to determine the amount of excluded costs to be subtracted from the costs allocated to the good.
Allocation Bases for Costs The following is a non-exhaustive list of allocation bases that may be used by the producer to calculate cost ratios: Direct labour hours
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations APPENDIX A Cost Ratio Method
Direct labour costs Units produced Machine-hours Sales dollars or pesos Floor space
Examples The following examples illustrate the application of the cost ratio method to costs included in overhead.
Example 1: Direct Labour Hours A producer who produces Good A and Good B may allocate overhead on the basis of direct labour hours spent to produce Good A and Good B. A total of 8,000 direct labour hours have been spent to produce Good A and Good B: 5,000 hours with respect to Good A and 3,000 hours with respect to Good B. The amount of overhead to be allocated is $6,000,000. Calculation of the ratios: Good A: 5,000 hours ÷ 8,000 hours = 0.625 Good B: 3,000 hours ÷ 8,000 hours = 0.375 Allocation of overhead to Good A and Good B: Good A: $6,000,000 × 0.625 = $3,750,000 Good B: $6,000,000 × 0.375 = $2,250,000
Example 2: Direct Labour Costs A producer who produces Good A and Good B may allocate overhead on the basis of direct labour costs incurred in the production of Good A and Good B. The total direct labour costs incurred in the production of Good A and Good B is $60,000: $50,000 with respect to Good A and $10,000 with respect to Good B. The amount of overhead to be allocated is $6,000,000. Calculation of the ratios: Good A: $50,000 ÷ $60,000 = 0.833 Good B: $10,000 ÷ $60,000 = 0.167 Allocation of Overhead to Good A and Good B: Good A: $6,000,000 × 0.833 = $4,998,000 Good B: $6,000,000 × 0.167 = $1,002,000
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations APPENDIX A Cost Ratio Method
Example 3: Units Produced A producer of Good A and Good B may allocate overhead on the basis of units produced. The total units of Good A and Good B produced is 150,000: 100,000 units of Good A and 50,000 units of Good B. The amount of overhead to be allocated is $6,000,000. Calculation of the ratios: Good A: 100,000 units ÷ 150,000 units = 0.667 Good B: 50,000 units ÷ 150,000 units = 0.333 Allocation of overhead to Good A and Good B: Good A: $6,000,000 × 0.667 = $4,002,000 Good B: $6,000,000 × 0.333 = $1,998,000
Example 4: Machine-hours A producer who produces Good A and Good B may allocate machine-related overhead on the basis of machinehours utilized in the production of Good A and Good B. The total machine-hours utilized for the production of Good A and Good B is 3,000 hours: 1,200 hours with respect to Good A and 1,800 hours with respect to Good B. The amount of machine-related overhead to be allocated is $6,000,000. Calculation of the ratios: Good A: 1,200 machine-hours ÷ 3,000 machinehours = 0.40 Good B: 1,800 machine-hours ÷ 3,000 machinehours = 0.60 Allocation of machine-related overhead to Good A and Good B: Good A: $6,000,000 × 0.40 = $2,400,000 Good B: $6,000,000 × 0.60 = $3,600,000
Example 5: Sales Dollars or Pesos A producer who produces Good A and Good B may allocate overhead on the basis of sales dollars. The producer sold 2,000 units of Good A at $4,000 per unit and 200 units of Good B at $3,000 per unit. The amount of overhead to be allocated is $6,000,000. Total sales dollars for Good A and Good B: Good A: $4,000 × 2,000 units = $8,000,000 Good B: $3,000 × 200 units = $600,000 Total sales dollars: $8,000,000 + $600,000 = $8,600,000 Calculation of the ratios: Good A: $8,000,000 ÷ $8,600,000 = 0.93
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations APPENDIX A Cost Ratio Method
Good B: $600,000 ÷ $8,600,000 = 0.07 Allocation of overhead to Good A and Good B: Good A: $6,000,000 × 0.93 = $5,580,000 Good B: $6,000,000 × 0.07 = $420,000
Example 6: Floor Space A producer who produces Good A and Good B may allocate overhead relating to utilities (heat, water and electricity) on the basis of floor space used in the production and storage of Good A and Good B. The total floor space used in the production and storage of Good A and Good B is 100,000 ft2: 40,000 ft2 with respect to Good A and 60,000 ft2 with respect to Good B. The amount of overhead to be allocated is $6,000,000. Calculation of the ratios: Good A: 40,000 ft2 ÷ 100,000 ft2 = 0.40 Good B: 60,000 ft2 ÷ 100,000 ft2 = 0.60 Allocation of overhead (utilities) to Good A and Good B: Good A: $6,000,000 × 0.40 = $2,400,000 Good B: $6,000,000 × 0.60 = $3,600,000

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations APPENDIX B Direct Labour and Direct Material Ratio Method
APPENDIX B
Direct Labour and Direct Material Ratio Method Calculation of Direct Labour and Direct Material Ratio For each good produced by the producer, a direct labour and direct material ratio is calculated by the formula DLDMR = (DLC + DMC) ÷ (TDLC + TDMC)
where DLDMR
is the direct labour and direct material ratio for the good;
is the direct labour costs of the good;
DLC DMC
is the direct material costs of the good;
TDLC
is the total direct labour costs of all goods produced by the producer; and
TDMC
is the total direct material costs of all goods produced by the producer.
Allocation of Overhead to a Good Overhead is allocated to a good as determined by the formula OAG = O × DLDMR
where OAG O
is the overhead allocated to the good;
is the overhead to be allocated; and
DLDMR
is the direct labour and direct material ratio for the good.

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations APPENDIX B Direct Labour and Direct Material Ratio Method
Excluded Costs Under paragraph 7(11)(b) of these Regulations, if excluded costs are included in overhead to be allocated to a good, the direct labour and direct material ratio used to allocate overhead to the good is used to determine the amount of excluded costs to be subtracted from the overhead allocated to the good.
Examples Example 1 The following example illustrates the application of the direct labour and direct material ratio method used by a producer of a good to allocate overhead if the producer chooses to calculate the net cost of the good in accordance with paragraph 7(11)(a) of these Regulations. A producer produces Good A and Good B. Overhead (O) minus excluded costs (EC) is $30 and the other relevant costs are set out in the following table:
Good A ($) Good B ($) Total ($) Direct labour costs (DLC)
Direct material costs (DMC)
Totals
Overhead allocated to Good A OAG (Good A) = O ($30) × DLDMR ($15 ÷ $25) OAG (Good A) = $18.00 Overhead allocated to Good B OAG (Good B) = O ($30) × DLDMR ($10 ÷ $25) OAG (Good B) = $12.00
Example 2 The following example illustrates the application of the direct labour and direct material ratio method used by a producer of a good to allocate overhead if the producer chooses to calculate the net cost of the good in accordance with paragraph 7(11)(b) of these Regulations and if excluded costs are included in overhead. A producer produces Good A and Good B. Overhead (O) is $50 (including excluded costs (EC) of $20). The other relevant costs are set out in the table to Example 1. Overhead allocated to Good A

Allocation of Indirect Overhead to a Good Indirect overhead is allocated to a good as determined by the formula IOAG = IO × DCR
where IOAG IO DCR
is the indirect overhead allocated to the good;
is the indirect overhead of all goods produced by the producer; and is the direct cost ratio of the good.

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations APPENDIX C Direct Cost Ratio Method
Excluded Costs Under paragraph 7(11)(b) of these Regulations, (a) if excluded costs are included in direct overhead to
be allocated to a good, those excluded costs are subtracted from the direct overhead allocated to the good; and (b) if excluded costs are included in indirect overhead
to be allocated to a good, the direct cost ratio used to allocate indirect overhead to the good is used to determine the amount of excluded costs to be subtracted from the indirect overhead allocated to the good.
Examples Example 1 The following example illustrates the application of the direct cost ratio method used by a producer of a good to allocate indirect overhead if the producer chooses to calculate the net cost of the good in accordance with paragraph 7(11)(a) of these Regulations. A producer produces Good A and Good B. Indirect overhead (IO) minus excluded costs (EC) is $30. The other relevant costs are set out in the following table:
Good A ($) Good B ($) Total ($) Direct labour costs (DLC)
Direct material costs (DMC)

Direct overhead (DO)
Totals
Indirect overhead allocated to Good A IOAG (Good A) = IO ($30) × DCR ($23 ÷ $35) IOAG (Good A) = $19.71 Indirect overhead allocated to Good B IOAG (Good B) = IO ($30) × DCR ($12 ÷ $35) IOAG (Good B) = $10.29
Example 2 The following example illustrates the application of the direct cost ratio method used by a producer of a good to allocate indirect overhead if the producer chooses to calculate the net cost of the good in accordance with

paragraph 7(11)(b) of these Regulations and if excluded costs are included in indirect overhead. A producer produces Good A and Good B. The indirect overhead (IO) is $50 (including excluded costs (EC) of $20). The other relevant costs are set out in the table to Example 1. Indirect overhead allocated to Good A IOAG (Good A) = [IO ($50) × DCR ($23 ÷ $35)] − [EC ($20) × DCR ($23 ÷ $35)] IOAG (Good A) = $19.72 Indirect overhead allocated to Good B IOAG (Good B) = [IO ($50) × DCR ($12 ÷ $35)] − [EC ($20) × DCR ($12 ÷ $35)] IOAG (Good B) = $10.28

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations SCHEDULE 6 Value of Materials
SCHEDULE 6 (Paragraph 7(7)(b), subsections 7(22), 8(4) and (28) and Schedule 5)
Value of Materials 1 Unless otherwise stated, the following definitions apply in this Schedule. buying commissions means fees paid by a producer to that producer’s agent or mandatary for the agent or mandatary’s services in representing the producer in the purchase of a material. (commission d’achat) materials of the same class or kind means, with respect to materials being valued, materials that are within a group or range of materials that (a) is produced by a particular industry or industry
sector; and (b) includes identical materials or similar materials.
(matières de même nature ou de même espèce) producer refers to the producer who uses the material in the production of a good that is subject to a regional value content requirement. (producteur) seller refers to a person who sells the material being valued to the producer. (vendeur) 2 (1) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (2), the transaction value of a material under paragraph 8(1)(b) of these Regulations is the price actually paid or payable for the material determined in accordance with section 3 and adjusted in accordance with section 4. (2) There is no transaction value for a material if the material is not the subject of a sale. (3) The transaction value of a material is unacceptable if (a) there are restrictions on the disposal or use of the
material by the producer, other than restrictions that (i) are imposed or required by law or by the public
authorities in the territory of the CUSMA country in which the producer of the good or the seller of the material is located, (ii) limit the geographical area in which the material may be used, or (iii) do not substantially affect the value of the material;
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations SCHEDULE 6 Value of Materials
(b) the sale or price actually paid or payable is subject
to a condition or consideration for which a value cannot be determined with respect to the material; (c) part of the proceeds of any subsequent disposal or use of the material by the producer will accrue directly or indirectly to the seller and an appropriate addition to the price actually paid or payable cannot be made in accordance with paragraph 4(1)(d); or (d) the producer and the seller are related persons
and the relationship between them influenced the price actually paid or payable for the material.
(4) The conditions or considerations referred to in paragraph (3)(b) include the following circumstances: (a) the seller establishes the price actually paid or
payable for the material on condition that the producer will also buy other materials or goods in specified quantities; (b) the price actually paid or payable for the material is dependent on the price or prices at which the producer sells other materials or goods to the seller of the material; and (c) the price actually paid or payable is established on the basis of a form of payment extraneous to the material, such as if the material is a semi-finished material that is provided by the seller to the producer on condition that the seller will receive a specified quantity of the finished material from the producer. (5) For the purposes of paragraph (3)(b), conditions or considerations relating to the use of the material must not render the transaction value unacceptable, such as if the producer undertakes on the producer’s own account, even though by agreement with the seller, activities relating to the warranty of the material used in the production of a good. (6) If objective and quantifiable data do not exist with regard to the additions required to be made to the price actually paid or payable under subsection 4(1), the transaction value cannot be determined under the provisions of subsection 2(1). For an illustration of this, a royalty is paid on the basis of the price actually paid or payable in a sale of a litre of a particular good that is produced by using a material that was purchased by the kilogram and made up into a solution. If the royalty is based partially on the purchased material and partially on other factors that have nothing to do with that material, such as when the purchased material is mixed with other ingredients and is no longer separately identifiable, or when the
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations SCHEDULE 6 Value of Materials
royalty cannot be distinguished from special financial arrangements between the seller and the producer, it would be inappropriate to add the royalty and the transaction value of the material could not be determined. However, if the amount of the royalty is based only on the purchased material and can be readily quantified, an addition to the price actually paid or payable can be made and the transaction value can be determined.
3 (1) The price actually paid or payable is the total payment made or to be made by the producer to or for the benefit of the seller of the material. The payment need not necessarily take the form of a transfer of money. It may be made by letters of credit or negotiable instruments. Payment may be made directly or indirectly to the seller. For an illustration of this, the settlement by the producer, whether in whole or in part, of a debt owed by the seller is an indirect payment. (2) Activities undertaken by the producer on the producer’s own account, other than those for which an adjustment is provided in section 4, must not be considered to be an indirect payment, even though the activities might be regarded as being for the benefit of the seller. (3) The transaction value must not include charges for construction, erection, assembly, maintenance or technical assistance related to the use of the material by the producer, provided that they are distinguished from the price actually paid or payable. (4) The flow of dividends or other payments from the
producer to the seller that do not relate to the purchase of the material are not part of the transaction value. 4 (1) In determining the transaction value of the material, the following must be added to the price actually paid or payable: (a) to the extent that they are incurred by the producer with respect to the material being valued and are not included in the price actually paid or payable, (i) commissions and brokerage fees, except buying
commissions, and (ii) the costs of containers which, for customs purposes, are classified with the material under the Harmonized System; (b) the value, reasonably allocated in accordance with
subsection (13), of the following elements if they are
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations SCHEDULE 6 Value of Materials
supplied directly or indirectly to the seller by the producer free of charge or at reduced cost for use in connection with the production and sale of the material, to the extent that the value is not included in the price actually paid or payable: (i) materials, other than indirect materials, used in the production of the material being valued, (ii) tools, dies, moulds and similar indirect materials used in the production of the material being valued, (iii) indirect materials, other than those referred to
in subparagraph (ii) or in paragraph (c), (e) or (f) of the definition indirect material in subsection 1(1) of these Regulations, used in the production of the material being valued, and (iv) engineering, development, artwork, design work, plans and sketches made outside the territory of the CUSMA country in which the producer is located that are necessary for the production of the material being valued; (c) the royalties related to the material, other than charges with respect to the right to reproduce the material in the territory of the CUSMA country in which the producer is located that the producer must pay directly or indirectly as a condition of sale of the material to the extent that such royalties are not included in the price actually paid or payable; and (d) the value of any part of the proceeds of any subsequent disposal or use of the material that accrues directly or indirectly to the seller. (2) The additions referred to in subsection (1) must be made under this section to the price actually paid or payable only on the basis of objective and quantifiable data. (3) If objective and quantifiable data do not exist with regard to the additions required to be made under subsection (1) to the price actually paid or payable, the transaction value cannot be determined under subsection 2(1). (4) Additions must not be made to the price actually paid
or payable for the purpose of determining the transaction value except as provided in this section. (5) The amounts to be added under paragraph (1)(a)
must be those amounts that are recorded on the books of the producer.

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations SCHEDULE 6 Value of Materials
(6) The value of the elements referred to in subparagraph (1)(b)(i) must be (a) if the elements are imported from outside the territory of the CUSMA country in which the seller is located, the customs value of the elements; (b) if the producer, or a related person on behalf of
the producer, purchases the elements from a person who is not a related person in the territory of the CUSMA country in which the seller is located, the price actually paid or payable for the elements; (c) if the producer, or a related person on behalf of the producer, acquires the elements other than through a purchase from a person who is not a related person in the territory of the CUSMA country in which the seller is located, the value of the consideration related to the acquisition of the elements, based on the cost of the consideration that is recorded on the books of the producer or the related person; or (d) if the elements are produced by the producer, or
by a related person, in the territory of the CUSMA country in which the seller is located, the total cost of the elements, determined in accordance with subsection (8). (7) The value referred to in subsection (6), to the extent
that such costs are not included under paragraphs (6)(a) to (d), must include the following costs that are recorded on the books of the producer or the related person supplying the elements on behalf of the producer: (a) the costs of freight, insurance, packing and all other costs incurred in transporting the elements to the location of the seller; (b) duties and taxes paid or payable with respect to the elements, other than duties and taxes that are waived, refunded, refundable or otherwise recoverable, including credit against duty or tax paid or payable; (c) customs brokerage fees, including the cost of inhouse customs brokerage services, incurred with respect to the elements; and (d) the cost of waste and spoilage resulting from the
use of the elements in the production of the material, less the value of reusable scrap or by-product.
(8) For the purposes of paragraph (6)(d), the total cost of the elements referred to in subparagraph (1)(b)(i) is
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations SCHEDULE 6 Value of Materials
(a) if the elements are produced by the producer, at
the choice of the producer, (i) the total cost that was incurred with respect to
all goods produced by the producer and calculated on the basis of the costs that are recorded on the books of the producer and that can be reasonably allocated to the elements in accordance with Schedule 5, or (ii) the aggregate of each cost that was incurred by the producer and that forms part of the total cost incurred with respect to the elements, calculated on the basis of the costs that are recorded on the books of the producer and that can be reasonably allocated to the elements in accordance with Schedule 5; and (b) if the elements are produced by a person who is
related to the producer, at the choice of the producer, (i) the total cost that was incurred with respect to
all goods produced by that related person and calculated on the basis of the costs that are recorded on the books of that person and that can be reasonably allocated to the elements in accordance with Schedule 5, or (ii) the aggregate of each cost that was incurred by that related person and that forms part of the total cost incurred with respect to the elements calculated on the basis of the costs that are recorded on the books of that person and that can be reasonably allocated to the elements in accordance with Schedule 5. (9) Except as provided in subsections (11) and (12), the
value of the elements referred to in subparagraphs (1)(b)(ii) to (iv) is (a) the cost of those elements that is recorded on the
books of the producer; or (b) if such elements are provided by another person on behalf of the producer and the cost is not recorded on the books of the producer, the cost of those elements that is recorded on the books of that other person. (10) If the elements referred to in subparagraphs
(1)(b)(ii) to (iv) were previously used by or on behalf of the producer, the value of those elements must be adjusted downward to reflect that use. (11) If the elements referred to in subparagraphs
(1)(b)(ii) and (iii) were leased by the producer or a person related to the producer, the value of those elements is
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations SCHEDULE 6 Value of Materials
the cost of the lease that is recorded on the books of the producer or that related person. (12) An addition must not be made to the price actually
paid or payable for the elements referred to in subparagraph (1)(b)(iv) that are available in the public domain, other than the cost of obtaining copies of them. (13) The producer must choose the method of allocating
to the material the value of the elements referred to in subparagraphs (1)(b)(ii) to (iv), provided that the value is reasonably allocated. The methods the producer may choose to allocate the value include allocating the value over the number of units produced up to the time of the first shipment or allocating the value over the entire anticipated production if contracts or firm commitments exist for that production. For an illustration of this, a producer provides the seller with a mould to be used in the production of the material and contracts with the seller to buy 10,000 units of that material. By the time the first shipment of 1,000 units arrives, the seller has already produced 4,000 units. In these circumstances, the producer may choose to allocate the value of the mould over 4,000 units or 10,000 units but must not choose to allocate the value of the elements to the first shipment of 1,000 units. The producer may choose to allocate the entire value of the elements to a single shipment of material only if that single shipment comprises all of the units of the material acquired by the producer under the contract or commitment for that number of units of the material between the seller and the producer. (14) The addition for the royalties referred to in paragraph (1)(c) is the payment for the royalties that is recorded on the books of the producer or if the payment for the royalties is recorded on the books of another person, the payment for the royalties that is recorded on the books of that other person. (15) The value of the proceeds referred to in paragraph
(1)(d) is the amount that is recorded for those proceeds on the books of the producer or the seller. 5 (1) If there is no transaction value under subsection
2(2) or the transaction value is unacceptable under subsection 2(3), the value of the material, referred to in subparagraph 8(1)(b)(ii) of these Regulations, is the transaction value of identical materials sold, at or about the same time as the material being valued was shipped to the producer, to a buyer located in the same country as the producer.
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations SCHEDULE 6 Value of Materials
(2) In applying this section, the transaction value of
identical materials in a sale at the same commercial level and in substantially the same quantity of materials as the material being valued must be used to determine the value of the material. If no such sale is found, the transaction value of identical materials sold at a different commercial level or in different quantities, adjusted to take into account the differences attributable to the commercial level or quantity, must be used, provided that such adjustments can be made on the basis of evidence that clearly establishes that the adjustment is reasonable and accurate, whether the adjustment leads to an increase or a decrease in the value. (3) A condition for an adjustment under subsection (2)
to take into account different commercial levels or different quantities is that the adjustment be made only on the basis of evidence that clearly establishes that the adjustment is reasonable and accurate. For an illustration of this, a bona fide price list contains prices for different quantities. If the material being valued consists of a shipment of 10 units and the only identical materials for which a transaction value exists involved a sale of 500 units, and it is recognized that the seller grants quantity discounts, the required adjustment may be accomplished by resorting to the seller’s bona fide price list and using the price applicable to a sale of 10 units. This does not require that sales had to have been made in quantities of 10 as long as the price list has been established as being bona fide through sales at other quantities. In the absence of such an objective measure, however, the determination of a value under this section is not appropriate. (4) If more than one transaction value of identical materials is found, the lowest of those values must be used to determine the value of the material under this section. 6 (1) If there is no transaction value under subsection
2(2) or the transaction value is unacceptable under subsection 2(3), and the value of the material cannot be determined under section 5, the value of the material, referred to in subparagraph 8(1)(b)(ii) of these Regulations is the transaction value of similar materials sold, at or about the same time as the material being valued was shipped to the producer, to a buyer located in the same country as the producer. (2) In applying this section, the transaction value of similar materials in a sale at the same commercial level and in substantially the same quantity of materials as the material being valued must be used to determine the value of the material. If no such sale is found, the transaction
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations SCHEDULE 6 Value of Materials
value of similar materials sold at a different commercial level or in different quantities, adjusted to take into account the differences attributable to the commercial level or quantity, must be used, provided that such adjustments can be made on the basis of evidence that clearly establishes that the adjustment is reasonable and accurate, whether the adjustment leads to an increase or a decrease in the value. (3) A condition for an adjustment under subsection (2)
to take into account different commercial levels or different quantities is that the adjustment be made only on the basis of evidence that clearly establishes that the adjustment is reasonable and accurate. For an illustration of this, a bona fide price list contains prices for different quantities. If the material being valued consists of a shipment of 10 units and the only similar materials for which a transaction value exists involved a sale of 500 units, and it is recognized that the seller grants quantity discounts, the required adjustment may be accomplished by resorting to the seller’s bona fide price list and using the price applicable to a sale of 10 units. This does not require that sales had to have been made in quantities of 10 as long as the price list has been established as being bona fide through sales at other quantities. In the absence of such an objective measure, however, the determination of a value under this section is not appropriate. (4) If more than one transaction value of similar materials is found, the lowest of those values must be used to determine the value of the material under this section. 7 If there is no transaction value under subsection 2(2)
or the transaction value is unacceptable under subsection 2(3), and the value of the material cannot be determined under section 5 or 6, the value of the material, referred to in subparagraph 8(1)(b)(ii) of these Regulations must be determined under section 8 or, if the value cannot be determined under that section, under section 10 unless, at the request of the producer, the order of application of sections 8 and 9 must be reversed. 8 (1) Under this section, if identical materials or similar materials are sold in the territory of the CUSMA country in which the producer is located, in the same condition as the material was in when received by the producer, the value of the material, referred to in subparagraph 8(1)(b)(ii) of these Regulations must be based on the unit price at which those identical materials or similar materials are sold, in the greatest aggregate quantity by the producer or, if the producer does not sell those identical materials or similar materials, by a person at the same commercial level as the producer, at or about the same
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations SCHEDULE 6 Value of Materials
time as the material being valued is received by the producer, to persons located in that territory who are not related persons to the seller, subject to deductions for the following: (a) either the amount of commissions usually earned or the amount generally reflected for profit and general expenses, in connection with sales, in the territory of that CUSMA country, of materials of the same class or kind as the material being valued; and (b) taxes, if included in the unit price, payable in the
territory of that CUSMA country, which are either waived, refunded or recoverable by way of credit against taxes actually paid or payable. (2) If neither identical materials nor similar materials are sold at or about the same time the material being valued is received by the producer, the value must, subject to the deductions provided for under subsection (1), be based on the unit price at which identical materials or similar materials are sold in the territory of the CUSMA country in which the producer is located, in the same condition as the material was in when received by the producer, at the earliest date within 90 days after the day on which the material being valued was received by the producer. (3) For the purposes of subsection (1) unit price at
which those identical materials or similar materials are sold, in the greatest aggregate quantity means the price at which the greatest number of units is sold in sales between persons who are not related persons. For an illustration of this, materials are sold from a price list which grants favourable unit prices for purchases made in larger quantities.
Total Quantity Sold at Each Price
Sale Quantity
Unit Price ($) Number of Sales
1-10 units
10 sales of 5 units 65
11-25 units
5 sales of 11 units 55
over 25 units
1 sale of 30 units
5 sales of 3 units 80
1 sale of 50 units
The greatest number of units sold at a particular price is 80; therefore, the unit price in the greatest aggregate quantity is 90. As another illustration of this, two sales occur. In the first sale 500 units are sold at a price of 95 currency units each. In the second sale 400 units are sold at a price of 90 currency units each. In this illustration, the greatest
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations SCHEDULE 6 Value of Materials
number of units sold at a particular price is 500; therefore, the unit price in the greatest aggregate quantity is 95. (4) Any sale to a person who supplies, directly or indirectly, free of charge or at reduced cost for use in connection with the production of the material, any of the elements specified in paragraph 4(1)(b) must not be taken into account in establishing the unit price for the purposes of this section. (5) The amount generally reflected for profit and general expenses referred to in paragraph (1)(a) must be taken as a whole. The figure for the purpose of deducting an amount for profit and general expenses must be determined on the basis of information supplied by or on behalf of the producer unless the figures provided by the producer are inconsistent with those usually reflected in sales, in the country in which the producer is located, of materials of the same class or kind as the material being valued. If the figures provided by the producer are inconsistent with those figures, the amount for profit and general expenses must be based on relevant information other than that supplied by or on behalf of the producer. (6) For the purposes of this section, general expenses are the direct and indirect costs of marketing the material in question. (7) In determining either the commissions usually
earned or the amount generally reflected for profit and general expenses under this section, the question as to whether certain materials are materials of the same class or kind as the material being valued must be determined on a case-by-case basis with reference to the circumstances involved. Sales in the country in which the producer is located of the narrowest group or range of materials of the same class or kind as the material being valued, for which the necessary information can be provided, must be examined. For the purposes of this section, materials of the same class or kind includes materials imported from the same country as the material being valued as well as materials imported from other countries or acquired within the territory of the CUSMA country in which the producer is located. (8) For the purposes of subsection (2), the earliest date is
the date by which sales of identical materials or similar materials are made, in sufficient quantity to establish the unit price, to other persons in the territory of the CUSMA country in which the producer is located.

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations SCHEDULE 6 Value of Materials
9 (1) Under this section, the value of a material, referred to in subparagraph 8(1)(b)(ii) of these Regulations, is the sum of (a) the cost or value of the materials used in the production of the material being valued as determined on the basis of the costs that are recorded on the books of the producer of the material, (b) the cost of producing the material being valued as
determined on the basis of the costs that are recorded on the books of the producer of the material, and (c) an amount for profit and general expenses equal to that usually reflected in sales (i) if the material being valued is imported by the producer into the territory of the CUSMA country in which the producer is located, to persons located in the territory of the CUSMA country in which the producer is located by producers of materials of the same class or kind as the material being valued who are located in the country in which the material is produced, and (ii) if the material being valued is acquired by the
producer from another person located in the territory of the CUSMA country in which the producer is located, to persons located in the territory of the CUSMA country in which the producer is located by producers of materials of the same class or kind as the material being valued who are located in the country in which the producer is located. (2) The value referred to in subsection (1) must include the following costs, to the extent they are not already included under paragraph (1)(a) or (b) and, provided that the elements are supplied directly or indirectly to the producer of the material being valued free of charge or at a reduced cost for use in the production of that material: (a) the value of the elements referred to in subparagraph 4(1)(b)(i) as determined in accordance with subsections 4(6) and (7); and (b) the value of the elements referred to in subparagraphs 4(1)(b)(ii) to (iv) as determined in accordance with subsection 4(9) and reasonably allocated to the material in accordance with subsection 4(13). (3) For the purposes of paragraphs (1)(a) and (b), if the costs recorded on the books of the producer of the material relate to the production of other goods and materials as well as to the production of the material being valued, the costs referred to in paragraphs (1)(a) and (b) with respect to the material being valued must be those costs recorded on the books of the producer of the material
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations SCHEDULE 6 Value of Materials
that can be reasonably allocated to that material in accordance with Schedule 5. (4) The amount for profit and general expenses referred
to in paragraph (1)(c) must be determined on the basis of information supplied by or on behalf of the producer of the material being valued unless the profit and general expenses figures that are supplied with that information are inconsistent with those usually reflected in sales by producers of materials of the same class or kind as the material being valued who are located in the country in which the material is produced or the producer is located, as the case may be. The information supplied must be prepared in a manner consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the country in which the material being valued is produced. If the material is produced in the territory of a CUSMA country, the information must be prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles set out in the publications listed for that territory in Schedule 10. (5) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(c) and subsection (4), general expenses means the direct and indirect costs of producing and selling the material that are not included under paragraphs (1)(a) and (b). (6) For the purposes of subsection (4), the amount for profit and general expenses must be taken as a whole. If, in the information supplied by or on behalf of the producer of a material, the profit figure is low and the general expenses figure is high, the profit and general expense figures taken together may nevertheless be consistent with those usually reflected in sales of materials of the same class or kind as the material being valued. If the producer of a material can demonstrate that it is taking a nil or low profit on its sales of the material because of particular commercial circumstances, its actual profit and general expense figures must be taken into account, provided that the producer of the material has valid commercial reasons to justify them and its pricing policy reflects usual pricing policies in the branch of industry concerned. Such a situation might occur if producers have been forced to lower prices temporarily because of an unforeseeable drop in demand or if the producers sell the material to complement a range of materials and goods being produced in the country in which the material is sold and accept a low profit to maintain competitiveness. This is also the case where a material is being launched and the producer accepts a nil or low profit to offset high general expenses associated with the launch.

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations SCHEDULE 6 Value of Materials
(7) If the figures for the profit and general expenses supplied by or on behalf of the producer of the material are inconsistent with those usually reflected in sales of materials of the same class or kind as the material being valued that are made by other producers in the country in which that material is sold, the amount for profit and general expenses may be based on relevant information other than that supplied by or on behalf of the producer of the material. (8) The question as to whether certain materials are of the same class or kind as the material being valued is determined on a case-by-case basis with reference to the circumstances involved. For the purpose of determining the amount for profit and general expenses usually reflected under the provisions of this section, sales of the narrowest group or range of materials of the same class or kind as the material being valued, for which the necessary information can be provided, must be examined. For the purposes of this section, the materials of the same class or kind must be from the same country as the material being valued. 10 (1) If there is no transaction value under subsection
2(2) or the transaction value is unacceptable under subsection 2(3), and the value of the material cannot be determined under sections 5 to 9, the value of the material, referred to in subparagraph 8(1)(b)(ii) of these Regulations, must be determined under this section using reasonable means consistent with the principles and general provisions of this Schedule and on the basis of data available in the country in which the producer is located. (2) The value of the material determined under this section must not be determined on the basis of (a) a valuation system which provides for the acceptance of the higher of two alternative values; (b) a cost of production other than the value determined in accordance with section 9; (c) minimum values; (d) arbitrary or fictitious values; (e) if the material is produced in the territory of the
CUSMA country in which the producer is located, the price of the material for export from that territory; or (f) if the material is imported, the price of the material for export to a country other than to the territory of the CUSMA country in which the producer is located. (3) To the greatest extent possible, the value of the material determined under this section must be based on the

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations SCHEDULE 6 Value of Materials
methods of valuation set out in sections 2 to 9, but a reasonable flexibility in the application of such methods would be in conformity with the aims and provisions of this section. For an illustration of this, under section 5, the requirement that the identical materials should be sold at or about the same time as the material being valued is shipped to the producer could be flexibly interpreted. Similarly, identical materials produced in a country other than the country in which the material is produced could be the basis for determining the value of the material or the value of identical materials already determined under section 8 could be used. For another illustration, under section 6, the requirement that the similar materials should be sold at or about the same time as the material being valued is shipped to the producer could be flexibly interpreted. Likewise, similar materials produced in a country other than the country in which the material is produced could be the basis for determining the value of the material or the value of similar materials already determined under the provisions of section 8 could be used. For a further illustration, under section 8, the 90-day requirement could be administered flexibly.

SCHEDULE 7 (Paragraphs 5(13)(a) and (d) and subsections 5(14), and 7(10))
Methods for Determining the Value of Non-Originating Materials that are Identical Materials and that are Used in the Production of a Good Definitions 1 The following definitions apply in this Schedule.
FIFO method means the method by which the value of non-originating materials first received in materials inventory, as determined in accordance with section 8 of these Regulations, is considered to be the value of nonoriginating materials used in the production of the good first shipped to the buyer of the good. (méthode PEPS) identical materials means, with respect to a material, materials that are the same as that material in all respects, including physical characteristics, quality and reputation but excluding minor differences in appearance. (matières identiques) LIFO method means the method by which the value of non-originating materials last received in materials inventory, as determined in accordance with section 8 of these Regulations, is considered to be the value of nonoriginating materials used in the production of the good first shipped to the buyer of the good. (méthode DEPS) materials inventory means, with respect to a single plant of the producer of a good, an inventory of non-originating materials that are identical materials and that are used in the production of the good. (stock de matières) rolling average method means the method by which the value of non-originating materials used in the production of a good that is shipped to the buyer of the good is based on the average value, calculated in accordance with section 4, of the non-originating materials in materials inventory.

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations SCHEDULE 7 Methods for Determining the Value of Non-Originating Materials that are Identical Materials and that are Used in the Production of a Good
General 2 For the purposes of subsections 5(13) and (14) and
7(10) of these Regulations, the following are the methods for determining the value of non-originating materials that are identical materials and are used in the production of a good: (a) FIFO method; (b) LIFO method; and (c) rolling average method. 3 (1) If a producer of a good chooses, with respect to non-originating materials that are identical materials, any of the methods referred to in section 2, the producer may not use another of those methods with respect to any other non-originating materials that are identical materials and that are used in the production of that good or in the production of any other good. (2) If a producer of a good produces the good in more
than one plant, the method chosen by the producer must be used with respect to all plants of the producer in which the good is produced. (3) The method chosen by the producer to determine the value of non-originating materials may be chosen at any time during the producer’s fiscal year and may not be changed during that fiscal year.
Average Value for Rolling Average Method 4 (1) The average value of non-originating materials
that are identical materials and that are used in the production of a good that is shipped to the buyer of the good is calculated by dividing (a) the total value of non-originating materials that are identical materials in materials inventory prior to the shipment of the good, as determined in accordance with section 8 of these Regulations,
by (b) the total units of those non-originating materials
in materials inventory prior to the shipment of the good. (2) The average value calculated under subsection (1) is
applied to the remaining units of non-originating materials in materials inventory.

Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations SCHEDULE 8 Inventory Management Methods
General 2 The following inventory management methods may be
used for determining whether fungible materials referred to in paragraph 8(18)(a) of these Regulations are originating materials: (a) specific identification method; (b) FIFO method; (c) LIFO method; and (d) average method. 3 A producer of a good, or a person from whom the producer acquired the fungible materials that are used in the production of the good, may choose only one of the inventory management methods referred to in section 2 and, if the average method is chosen, only one averaging period in each fiscal year of that producer or person in respect of the materials inventory.
Specific Identification Method 4 (1) Except as otherwise provided under subsection (2),
if the producer or person referred to in section 3 chooses the specific identification method, the producer or person must physically segregate, in materials inventory, originating materials that are fungible materials from non-originating materials that are fungible materials. (2) If originating materials or non-originating materials that are fungible materials are marked with an origin identifier, the producer or person need not physically segregate those materials under subsection (1) if the origin identifier remains visible throughout the production of the good.
Average Method 5 If the producer or person referred to in section 3
chooses the average method, the origin of fungible materials withdrawn from materials inventory is determined on the basis of the ratio of originating materials and nonoriginating materials in materials inventory that is calculated under sections 6 to 8. 6 (1) Except as otherwise provided in sections 7 and 8, the ratio is calculated with respect to a one- or threemonth period, at the choice of the producer or person, by dividing (a) the sum of
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations SCHEDULE 8 Inventory Management Methods
(i) the total units of originating materials or nonoriginating materials that are fungible materials and that were in materials inventory at the beginning of the preceding one- or three-month period, and (ii) the total units of originating materials or nonoriginating materials that are fungible materials and that were received in materials inventory during that preceding one- or three-month period,
by (b) the sum of (i) the total units of originating materials and nonoriginating materials that are fungible materials and that were in materials inventory at the beginning of the preceding one- or three-month period, and (ii) the total units of originating materials and nonoriginating materials that are fungible materials and that were received in materials inventory during that preceding one- or three-month period. (2) The ratio calculated with respect to a preceding oneor three-month period under subsection (1) is applied to the fungible materials remaining in materials inventory at the end of the preceding one- or three-month period. 7 (1) If the good is subject to a regional value content
requirement and the regional value content is calculated under the net cost method and the producer or person chooses to average over a period under subsection 7(15), 16(1) or (10) of these Regulations, the ratio is calculated with respect to that period by dividing (a) the sum of (i) the total units of originating materials or nonoriginating materials that are fungible materials and that were in materials inventory at the beginning of the period, and (ii) the total units of originating materials or nonoriginating materials that are fungible materials and that were received in materials inventory during the period, by (b) the sum of (i) the total units of originating materials and nonoriginating materials that are fungible materials and that were in materials inventory at the beginning of the period, and
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations SCHEDULE 8 Inventory Management Methods
(ii) the total units of originating materials and nonoriginating materials that are fungible materials and that were received in materials inventory during the period. (2) The ratio calculated with respect to a period under
subsection (1) is applied to the fungible materials remaining in materials inventory at the end of the period. 8 (1) If the good is subject to a regional value content
requirement and the regional value content is calculated under the transaction value method or the net cost method, the ratio is calculated with respect to each shipment of the good by dividing (a) the total units of originating materials or non-originating materials that are fungible materials and that were in materials inventory prior to the shipment,
by (b) the total units of originating materials and nonoriginating materials that are fungible materials and that were in materials inventory prior to the shipment.
(2) The ratio calculated with respect to a shipment of a good under subsection (1) is applied to the fungible materials remaining in materials inventory after the shipment.
Manner of Dealing with Opening Inventory 9 (1) Except as otherwise provided under subsections
(2) and (3), if the producer or person referred to in section 3 has fungible materials in opening inventory, the origin of those fungible materials is determined by (a) identifying, on the books of the producer or person, the latest receipts of fungible materials that add up to the amount of fungible materials in opening inventory; (b) determining the origin of the fungible materials
that make up those receipts; and (c) considering the origin of those fungible materials
to be the origin of the fungible materials in opening inventory. (2) If the producer or person chooses the specific identification method and has, in opening inventory, originating materials or non-originating materials that are fungible materials and that are marked with an origin
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020

identifier, the origin of those fungible materials is determined on the basis of the origin identifier. (3) The producer or person may consider all fungible
materials in opening inventory to be non-originating materials.
PART 2
Fungible Goods Definitions 10 The following definitions apply in this Part.
average method means the method by which the origin of fungible goods withdrawn from finished goods inventory is based on the ratio, calculated under section 14, of originating goods and non-originating goods in finished goods inventory. (méthode de la moyenne) FIFO method means the method by which the origin of fungible goods first received in finished goods inventory is considered to be the origin of fungible goods first withdrawn from finished goods inventory. (méthode PEPS) finished goods inventory means an inventory from which fungible goods are sold or otherwise transferred to another person. (stock de produits finis) LIFO method means the method by which the origin of fungible goods last received in finished goods inventory is considered to be the origin of fungible goods first withdrawn from finished goods inventory. (méthode DEPS) opening inventory means the finished goods inventory at the time an inventory management method is chosen. (stock d’ouverture) origin identifier means any mark that identifies fungible goods as originating goods or non-originating goods. (identificateur d’origine)
General 11 The following inventory management methods may be used for determining whether fungible goods referred to in paragraph 8(18)(b) of these Regulations are originating goods:
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020
CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations SCHEDULE 8 Inventory Management Methods
(a) specific identification method; (b) FIFO method; (c) LIFO method; and (d) average method. 12 An exporter of a good, or a person from whom the exporter acquired the fungible good, may choose only one of the inventory management methods referred to in section 11 and, if the average method is chosen, only one averaging period in each fiscal year of that exporter or person in respect of each finished goods inventory of the exporter or person.
Specific Identification Method 13 (1) Except as provided under subsection (2), if the exporter or person referred to in section 12 chooses the specific identification method, the exporter or person must physically segregate, in finished goods inventory, originating goods that are fungible goods from non-originating goods that are fungible goods. (2) If originating goods or non-originating goods that are
fungible goods are marked with an origin identifier, the exporter or person need not physically segregate those goods under subsection (1) if the origin identifier is visible on the fungible goods.
Average Method 14 (1) If the exporter or person referred to in section 12
chooses the average method, the origin of each shipment of fungible goods withdrawn from finished goods inventory during a one- or three-month period, at the choice of the exporter or person, is determined on the basis of the ratio of originating goods and non-originating goods in finished goods inventory for the preceding one- or threemonth period that is calculated by dividing (a) the sum of (i) the total units of originating goods or non-originating goods that are fungible goods and that were in finished goods inventory at the beginning of the preceding one- or three-month period, and (ii) the total units of originating goods or non-originating goods that are fungible goods and that were received in finished goods inventory during that preceding one- or three-month period, by
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on July 1, 2020

(b) the sum of (i) the total units of originating goods and nonoriginating goods that are fungible goods and that were in finished goods inventory at the beginning of the preceding one- or three-month period, and (ii) the total units of originating goods and nonoriginating goods that are fungible goods and that were received in finished goods inventory during that preceding one- or three-month period.
(2) The ratio calculated with respect to a preceding oneor three-month period under subsection (1) is applied to the fungible goods remaining in finished goods inventory at the end of the preceding one- or three-month period.
Manner of Dealing with Opening Inventory 15 (1) Except as otherwise provided under subsections
(2) and (3), if the exporter or person referred to in section 12 has fungible goods in opening inventory, the origin of those fungible goods is determined by (a) identifying, on the books of the exporter or person, the latest receipts of fungible goods that add up to the amount of fungible goods in opening inventory; (b) determining the origin of the fungible goods that
make up those receipts; and (c) considering the origin of those fungible goods to
be the origin of the fungible goods in opening inventory. (2) If the exporter or person chooses the specific identification method and has, in opening inventory, originating goods or non-originating goods that are fungible goods and that are marked with an origin identifier, the origin of those fungible goods is determined on the basis of the origin identifier. (3) The exporter or person may consider all fungible
goods in opening inventory to be non-originating goods.

(1)
the 100 units of originating Material A in opening inventory that were received in materials inventory on 12/18/20 are considered to have been used in the production of the 100 units of Good A shipped on 01/10/21; therefore, the value of non-originating materials used in the production of those goods is considered to be $0;
(2)
the 100 units of non-originating Material A in opening inventory that were received in materials inventory on 12/27/20 and 600 units of the 1,000 units of originating Material A that were received in materials inventory on 01/01/21 are considered to have been used in the production of the 700 units of Good A shipped on 01/15/21; therefore, the value of non-originating materials used in the production of those goods is considered to be $110 (100 units × $1.10);
(3)
the remaining 400 units of the 1,000 units of originating Material A that were received in materials inventory on 01/01/21 and 600 units of the 1,000 units of non-originating Material A that were received in materials inventory on 01/05/21 are considered to have been used in the production of the 1,000 units of Good A shipped on 01/20/21; therefore, the value of non-originating materials used in the production of those goods is considered to be $660 (600 units × $1.10); and
(4)
the remaining 400 units of the 1,000 units of nonoriginating Material A that were received in materials inventory on 01/05/21 and 500 units of the 1,000 units of originating Material A that were received in materials inventory on 01/10/21 are considered to have been used in the production of the 900 units of Good A shipped on 01/23/21; therefore, the value of non-originating materials used in the production of those goods is considered to be $440 (400 units × $1.10).
Example 2: LIFO method Good A is subject to a change in tariff classification requirement and the non-originating Material A used in the production of Good A does not undergo the applicable change in tariff classification. Therefore, if originating Material A is used in the production of Good A, Good A is an originating good and, if non-originating Material A is used in the production of Good A, Good A is a non-originating good.

By applying the average method (1)
before the shipment of the 100 units of Material A on 01/10/21, the ratio of units of originating Material A to total units of Material A in materials inventory was 0.50 (1,100 units ÷ 2,200 units) and the ratio of units of non-originating Material A to total units of Material A in materials inventory was 50% (1,100 units ÷ 2,200 units); based on those ratios, 50 units (100 units × 0.50) of originating Material A and 50 units (100 units × 0.50) of non-originating Material A are considered to have been used in the production of the 100 units of Good A shipped on 01/10/21; therefore, the value of non-originating Material A used in the production of those goods is considered to be $52.50 [100 units × $1.05 (average unit value) × 50%]; and the ratios are applied to the units of Material A remaining in materials inventory after the shipment: 1,050 units (2,100 units × 0.50) are

considered to be originating materials and 1,050 units (2,100 units × 0.50) are considered to be nonoriginating materials;
(2)
before the shipment of the 700 units of Good A on 01/15/21, the ratio of units of originating Material A to total units of Material A in materials inventory was 66% (2,050 units ÷ 3,100 units) and the ratio of units of non-originating Material A to total units of Material A in materials inventory was 34% (1,050 units ÷ 3,100 units); based on those ratios, 462 units (700 units × 0.66) of originating Material A and 238 units (700 units × 0.34) of non-originating Material A are considered to have been used in the production of the 700 units of Good A shipped on 01/15/21; therefore, the value of non-originating Material A used in the production of those goods is considered to be $249.90 [700 units × $1.05 (average unit value) × 34%]; and the ratios are applied to the units of Material A remaining in materials inventory after the shipment: 1,584 units (2,400 units × 0.66) are considered to be originating materials and 816 units (2,400 units × 0.34) are considered to be non-originating materials;
(3)
before the shipment of the 1,000 units of Material A on 01/20/21, the ratio of units of originating Material A to total units of Material A in materials inventory was 36% (1,584 units ÷ 4,400 units) and the ratio of units of non-originating Material A to total units of Material A in materials inventory was 64% (2,816 units ÷ 4,400 units); based on those ratios, 360 units (1,000 units × 0.36) of originating Material A and 640 units (1,000 units × 0.64) of non-originating Material A are considered to have been used in the production of the 1,000 units of Good A shipped on 01/20/21; therefore, the value of non-originating Material A used in the production of those goods is considered to be $684.80 [1,000 units × $1.07 (average unit value) × 64%]; and those ratios are applied to the units of Material A remaining in materials inventory after the shipment: 1,224 units (3,400 units × 0.36) are considered to be originating materials and 2,176 units

CUSMA Rules of Origin Regulations APPENDIX A Examples Illustrating the Application of the Inventory Management Methods to Determine the Origin of Fungible Materials
(3,400 units × 0.64) are considered to be nonoriginating materials; and (4)
before the shipment of the 900 units of Good A on 01/23/21, the ratio of units of originating Material A to total units of Material A in materials inventory was 36% (1,224 units ÷ 3,400 units) and the ratio of units of non-originating Material A to total units of Material A in materials inventory was 64% (2,176 units ÷ 3,400 units); based on those ratios, 324 units (900 units × 0.36) of originating Material A and 576 units (900 units × 0.64) of non-originating Material A are considered to have been used in the production of the 900 units of Good A shipped on 01/23/21; therefore, the value of non-originating Material A used in the production of those goods is considered to be $616.32 [900 units × $1.07 (average unit value) × 64%]; those ratios are applied to the units of Material A remaining in materials inventory after the shipment: 900 units (2,500 units × 0.36) are considered to be originating materials and 1,600 units (2,500 units × 0.64) are considered to be non-originating materials.
Example 4: Average method Good A is subject to an applicable regional value content requirement. Producer A is using the net cost method and is averaging over a period of one month under paragraph 7(15)(a) of these Regulations to determine the regional value content of Good A. By applying the average method, the ratio of units of originating Material A to total units of Material A in materials inventory for January 2021 is 40.4% (2,100 units ÷ 5,200 units); based on that ratio, 1,091 units (2,700 units × 0.404) of originating Material A and 1,609 units (2,700 units − 1,091 units) of non-originating Material A are considered to have been used in the production of the 2,700 units of Good A shipped in January 2021; therefore, the value of non-originating materials used in the production of those goods is considered to be $0.64 per unit [$5,560 (total value of Material A in materials inventory) ÷ 5,200 (units of Material A in materials inventory) = $1.07 (average unit value) × (1 − 0.404)] or $1,728 ($0.64 × 2,700 units); and that ratio is applied to the units of Material A remaining in materials inventory on January 31, 2021: 1,010 units (2,500 units × 0.404) are considered to be

Example 3: Average method Exporter A chooses to determine the origin of Good A on a monthly basis. Exporter A exported 3,000 units of Good A during the month of February 2021. The origin of the units of Good A exported during that month is determined on the basis of the preceding month, that is, January 2021. By applying the average method, the ratio of originating goods to all goods in finished goods inventory for the month of January 2021 is 40.4% (2,100 units ÷ 5,200 units); based on that ratio, 1,212 units (3,000 units × 0.404) of Good A shipped in February 2021 are considered to

The principal balance represents the loan balance at the end of each full year the loan is in effect and is calculated by subtracting the current year’s principal payment from the prior year’s ending loan balance. 2 Interest payments are calculated by multiplying the prior year’s ending loan balance by the contract interest rate of 6%. 3 Principal payments are calculated by subtracting the current year’s interest payments from the annual payment schedule amount. 4 The weighted principal payment is determined by, for each year of the loan, multiplying that year’s principal payment by the number of years the loan had been in effect at the end of that year.
The weighted average principal maturity of the contract is calculated by dividing the sum of the weighted principal payments by the original loan amount and rounding the amount determined to the nearest decimal place. Weighted Average Principal Maturity $5,977,993.19 ÷ $1,000,000 = 5.977993 or 6 years By applying the above method, (1) the weighted average principal maturity of the payment schedule under the 6% contract is six years; (2) the interest rates issued by the federal government on the closest maturities for comparable debt obligations of five years and seven years are 4.7% and 5.0%, respectively; therefore, using linear interpolation, the interest rate issued by the federal government that has a maturity equal to the weighted average principal maturity of the contract is 4.85%. This number is calculated as follows:
4.7 + [((5.0 − 4.7) × (6 − 5)) ÷ (7 − 5)] = 4.7 + 0.15 = 4.85%; and (3) the producer’s contract interest rate of 6% is within 700 basis points of the 4.85% interest rate issued by the federal government on debt obligation; therefore, none

(b) under the terms of the contract, the loan is payable in 10 years with interest paid at the rate of 6% per year for the first two years and 8% per year for the next two years on the principal balance, with rates adjusted each two years after that; (c) the payment schedule calculated by the lender
based on the terms of the contract requires the producer to make annual payments of principal and interest of $135,867.96 for the first two years of the loan and of $146,818.34 for the next two years of the loan; (d) there are no federal government debt obligations that have maturities equal to the 1.9-year weighted average principal maturity of the first two years of the contract; (e) there are no federal government debt obligations that have maturities equal to the 1.9-year weighted average principal maturity of the third and fourth years of the contract; and (f) the federal government debt obligations that are nearest in maturity to the weighted average principal maturity of the contract are one- and two-year maturities, and the yields on them are 3.0% and 3.5%, respectively.

Weighted Average Principal Maturity $1,924,132.04 ÷ $1,000,000 = 1.92413204 or 1.9 years By applying the above method: (1) the weighted average principal maturity of the payment schedule of the first two years of the contract is 1.9 years; (2) the interest rate issued by the federal government on the closest maturities of debt obligations of one year and two years are 3.0 and 3.5%, respectively; therefore, using linear interpolation, the interest rate issued by the federal government on debt obligation that has a maturity equal to the weighted average principal maturity of the payment schedule of the first two years of the contract is 3.45%. This amount is calculated as follows:
3.0 + [((3.5 − 3.0) × (1.9 − 1.0)) ÷ (2.0 − 1.0)]; = 3.0 + 0.45 = 3.45%; and
(3) the producer’s contract rate of 6% for the first two years of the loan is within 700 basis points of the 3.45% interest rate issued by the federal government on debt obligations that have maturities equal to the 1.9-year weighted average principal maturity of the payment schedule of the first two years of the producer’s loan contract; therefore, none of the producer’s interest costs are considered to be non-allowable interest costs for the purposes of the definition non-allowable interest costs in subsection 1(1) of these Regulations.

day of the month immediately following the month of election and succeeding instalments monthly after that time during the term corresponding to the plan of payment selected by the contributor, computed in accordance with Canadian Life Table No. 2 (1941), Males four per cent or Females four per cent, as the case may be; and (b) the contributor may amend the plan of payment to
provide for payment of the instalments still to be paid in a lump sum or by larger monthly instalments on a basis similar to that described in paragraph (a), calculated as of the date of the amendment.
(2) If a contributor — other than a contributor who is a
member of the reserve force or, in respect of a top-up election under section 14.2, a contributor who was a member of the reserve force — originally exercised an option to pay in one lump sum, and subsequently the total amount to be paid in respect of the service for which the contributor elected to pay is verified as a greater amount than that on which the original lump sum payment was based, the contributor shall pay the difference either in one lump sum or by instalments, at the contributor’s option, on a basis similar to that described in subsection (1). (3) If a contributor — other than a contributor who is a
member of the reserve force or, in respect of a top-up election under section 14.2, a contributor who was a member of the reserve force — originally exercised an option to pay by instalments, and subsequently the total amount to be paid in respect of the service for which the contributor has elected to pay is verified as a greater or

lesser amount than that on which the original instalments were based, the monthly instalment under subsection (1) shall be increased or decreased in accordance with the verified amount, but the instalment shall not be decreased by more than 5% of the original monthly instalment. (4) If a contributor originally exercised an option to pay by instalments for a period of years less than for life, and if they can establish that financial hardship will be caused to them if they are required to continue to pay those instalments, on the application of the contributor, the amount of the monthly instalment may be reduced to a lesser amount on a basis similar to that described in subsection (1), calculated as of the first day of the month following approval of the application.

(5) Where a contributor, who has elected under the Act
or Part V of the former Act to pay for any period of service and has undertaken to pay for that period by instalments, ceases to be a member of the regular force before all the instalments have been paid, the unpaid instalments shall be reserved from the benefits payable to them as follows: (a) subject to paragraph (c), where the benefit payable is an annuity, the remaining instalments shall be reserved from that annuity; (b) where the benefit payable is a cash termination allowance, the present value of the remaining instalments shall be reserved from that allowance to the extent that such allowance is not reduced below an amount equivalent to a return of contributions; or (c) where during any period a pension granted under Part V of the former Act or an annuity granted under the Act is not payable or is reduced to an amount that is not sufficient to pay the instalments in full, the unpaid portion of the remaining instalments shall be reserved during such period from the pay and allowances or salary payable to the recipient or from any other amount payable to them by Her Majesty.

(2) In determining the actuarial present value of a contributor’s accrued pension benefits, the following actuarial assumptions are to be used: (a) the mortality rates for contributors and survivors
are the mortality rates, including annual percentages of mortality reduction, used in the preparation of the actuarial valuation report; (b) the interest rates are the interest rates for fully indexed pensions — adjusted by the interest rates for unindexed pensions to take into account Part III of the Act — determined in accordance with the section entitled “Pension Commuted Values” of the Standards of Practice — Practice-Specific Standards for Pension Plans, published by the Canadian Institute of Actuaries, as amended from time to time; (c) the probability that a contributor will be survived
by children is based on the rates regarding the average number, average age and eligibility status of children at the death of a contributor, used in the preparation of the actuarial valuation report; (d) the probability that a contributor will become entitled to an annuity under paragraph 16(1)(d) of the Act is based on the rates of termination owing to disability used in the preparation of the actuarial valuation report, taking into account the probability — as set out in that report — that there would be immediate eligibility for a disability pension under the Canada Pension Plan or a provincial pension plan; and

accordingly and any excess shall be paid (i) to the person who would have been entitled to

value shall be paid in accordance with subparagraphs (a)(i) and (ii).

Recovery of Amounts Paid in Error 28 (1) Where an amount has been paid in error under Part I of the Act to a person on account of any annuity or annual allowance and the Minister directs that the amount be repaid by way of deductions from any subsequent payments of that annuity or annual allowance, that person shall forthwith be notified of the amount that has been paid in error and the manner in which the amount is to be recovered. (2) The amount referred to in subsection (1) shall be recovered by monthly instalments deducted from any annuity or annual allowance payable to that person for a period equal to the lesser of (a) the life expectancy of that person, and (b) the period required to pay the amount in monthly
instalments equal to 10 per cent of the gross monthly amount of the annuity or annual allowance calculated as of the date of the Minister’s direction, in accordance with Canadian Life Table Number 2 (1941), Males or Females, as the case may be. 29 A person from whose annuity or annual allowance
deductions are being made pursuant to section 28 may, at any time, pay the amount then owing (a) in a lump sum; (b) by larger monthly instalments on a basis similar to that described in subsection 28(2); or (c) by a lump sum payment and by monthly instalments on a basis similar to that described in subsection 28(2) and payable within the same or a lesser period than that originally set out. 30 Where, pursuant to subsection 28(2), deductions are

by monthly instalments referred to therein would, in the opinion of the Minister, cause financial hardship to the person to whom the annuity or annual allowance is payable, the Minister may direct that lesser monthly instalments be deducted, but such instalments shall not in

whole of an amount, determined by dividing the amount of the said duties or taxes to be paid out of the Superannuation Account or Canadian Forces Pension Fund by the value of an annuity of $1 per annum, payable monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually, as the allowance is payable, to a person of the age of the successor at the date of payment of the said duties or taxes out of the Superannuation Account or Canadian Forces Pension Fund, calculated (e) in the case of an allowance payable to the survivor
of the contributor, in accordance with a(f) Ultimate Table, together with interest at the rate of four per cent per annum; and (f) in the case of an allowance payable to a child of the contributor, at an interest rate of four per cent per annum and mortality shall not be taken into account.
(3) Where the annual allowance of a successor was reduced under this section for a term and the annual allowance was suspended before the end of the term under section 27 of the Act as it read on June 28, 1989, if at any time the annual allowance is resumed it shall be reduced for a term equal to the term or the balance of the term, as the case may be, during which the annual allowance would have been reduced had it not been suspended and such reduction shall be made to the same extent and in the same manner as the annual allowance was reduced immediately prior to the suspension.

to subsection 15(2) of the Act, and
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on June 1, 2016
Canadian Forces Superannuation Regulations Canadian Forces Supplementary Death Benefits Calculation of the Reduction Section 66
(ii) the minimum death benefit payable in accordance with section 38 of the Act; (b) convert the amount determined in accordance with paragraph (a) into the following annuities, each of which has the same actuarial present value, namely, (i) an immediate single life annuity that is payable
to the contributor by monthly instalments beginning on the first day of the month following the month in which the election is made, and that is determined taking into account the supplementary benefits payable under Part III of the Act, as if the annuity were a pension payable under Part I of the Act, and (ii) a joint and survivor pension benefit that consists of (A) an immediate annuity that is payable, during the life of the contributor, by monthly instalments beginning on the first day of the month after the month in which the election is made, and that is determined taking into account the supplementary benefits payable under Part III of the Act, as if the annuity were a pension payable under Part I of the Act, and (B) an annuity that is payable during the life of
the surviving spouse, by monthly instalments beginning on the first day of the month after the month in which the contributor died and that is equal to 30, 40 or 50 per cent, in accordance with the election made by the contributor, of the annuity determined in accordance with clause (A), and that is determined taking into account the supplementary benefits payable under Part III of the Act, as if the annuity were a pension payable under Part I of the Act; and (c) subject to subsection (2), subtract the first monthly instalment of the annuity referred to in clause (b)(ii)(A) from the first monthly instalment of the annuity referred to in subparagraph (b)(i), and adjust the amount obtained to take into account (i) that the reduction is effective during the lesser
of (A) the period of the life of the contributor, (B) the period of the life of the spouse, and (C) the duration of the marriage,
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on June 1, 2016
Canadian Forces Superannuation Regulations Canadian Forces Supplementary Death Benefits Calculation of the Reduction Sections 66-68
(ii) that the reduction becomes effective in the month referred to in subsection 72(1) or (2), as the case may be, and (iii) that the increase in the reduction under section 67 will apply to the reduction in each year referred to in that section. (2) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(c), in determining
the reduction for a contributor in respect of whom a minimum death benefit would be payable if the contributor were to die on the day on which the election is made, the actuarial present value that is converted in accordance with subparagraph (1)(b)(i) shall not take into account the minimum death benefit in respect of that contributor.

Indexation 67 (1) Subject to subsection (2), the amount of the reduction determined in accordance with section 66 is increased on January 1 of each year after the year in which the reduction is first in effect, by the amount that would be payable as a supplementary benefit under Part III of the Act if the amount of the reduction determined under section 66 were an immediate annuity that became payable under Part I of the Act on January 1 of the year in which the election was made. (2) Where the election is made in the year in which the contributor retires, the increase in the amount of the reduction pursuant to subsection (1) is determined in respect of the first year during which the increase is in effect from the first day of the month in which the contributor most recently ceased to be a member of the regular force.

those set out for spouses in the actuarial valuation report laid before Parliament in accordance with section 56 of the Act, taking into account the mortality projection factors set out in the report; and (c) the rates of divorce shall be those established by
the Superintendent of Financial Institutions in accordance with statistics on divorce published by Statistics Canada.
(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), the actuarial valuation referred to in that subsection is the most recent actuarial valuation report, or, where the most recent actuarial valuation report was tabled less than two months before the day on which the contributor made an election, the previously tabled report. SOR/94-276, s. 1.
69 For the purposes of the determinations referred to in
sections 66 and 67, the rates of interest set out in the Recommendations for the Computation of Transfer Values from Registered Pension Plans, published by the Canadian Institute of Actuaries, effective September 1, 1993, shall be the rates in respect of fully indexed pensions. SOR/94-276, s. 1.

A vessel shall be deemed to be overtaking when coming up with another vessel from a direction more than 22.5 degrees abaft her beam, that is, in such a position with reference to the vessel she is overtaking, that at night she would be able to see only the sternlight of that vessel but neither of her sidelights.
(c)
When a vessel is in any doubt as to whether she is overtaking another, she shall assume that this is the case and act accordingly.
(d)
Any subsequent alteration of the bearing between the two vessels shall not make the overtaking vessel a crossing vessel within the meaning of these Rules or relieve her of the duty of keeping clear of the overtaken vessel until she is finally past and clear.
Overtaking — Canadian Modification (e)
Notwithstanding paragraph (b), in the waters of the Great Lakes Basin, a vessel shall be deemed to be overtaking if approaching another vessel from a direction more than 22.5° abaft her beam, that is, in such a position with reference to the vessel she is overtaking that at night she would not be able to see either of the sidelights of the other vessel but would be able to see (i) the sternlight of the other vessel, or (ii) in the case of a power-driven vessel lighted in accordance with Rule 23(d) or (f), the all-round white light or lights of the other vessel.

ANNEX III
TECHNICAL DETAILS OF SOUND SIGNAL APPLIANCES 1 Whistles — International (a) Frequencies and range of audibility The fundamental frequency of the signal shall lie within the range 70-700 Hz. The range of audibility of the signal from a whistle shall be determined by those frequencies, which may include the fundamental and/or one or more higher frequencies, which lie within the range 180-700 Hz (± 1%) for a vessel of 20 metres or more in length, or 180-2100 Hz (± 1%) for a vessel of less than 20 metres in length and which provide the sound pressure levels specified in paragraph (c) below. (b) Limits of fundamental frequencies To ensure a wide variety of whistle characteristics, the fundamental frequency of a whistle shall be between the following limits: (i) 70-200 Hz, for a vessel 200 metres or more in length, (ii) 130-350 Hz, for a vessel 75 metres but less than 200 metres in length, (iii) 250-700 Hz, for a vessel less than 75 metres in length. (c) Sound signal intensity and range of audibility A whistle fitted in a vessel shall provide, in the direction of maximum intensity of the whistle and at a distance of 1 metre from it, a sound pressure level in at least one 1/3rd octave band within the range of frequencies 180-700 Hz (± 1%) for a vessel 20 metres or more in length, or 180-2100 Hz (± 1%) for a vessel less than 20 metres in length, of not less than the appropriate figure given in the table below.

The range of audibility in the table above is for information and is approximately the range at which a whistle may be heard on its forward axis with 90 per cent probability in conditions of still air on board a vessel having average background noise level at the listening posts (taken to be 68 dB in the octave band centred on 250 Hz and 63 dB in the octave band centred on 500 Hz). In practice the range at which a whistle may be heard is extremely variable and depends critically on weather conditions; the values given can be regarded as typical but under conditions of strong wind or high ambient noise level at the listening post the range may be much reduced. (d) Directional Properties The sound pressure level of a directional whistle shall be not more than 4 dB below the prescribed sound pressure level on the axis at any direction in the horizontal plane within 45 degrees of the axis. The sound pressure level at any other direction in the horizontal plane shall be not more than 10 dB below the prescribed sound pressure level on the axis, so that the range in any direction will be at least half the range on the forward axis. The sound pressure level shall be measured in that 3rd-octave band which determines the audibility range. (e) Positioning of Whistles When a directional whistle is to be used as the only whistle on a vessel, it shall be installed with its maximum intensity directed straight ahead. A whistle shall be placed as high as practicable on a vessel, in order to reduce interception of the emitted sound by obstructions and also to minimize hearing damage risk to personnel. The sound pressure level of the vessel’s own signal at listening posts shall not exceed 110 dB (A) and so far as practicable should not exceed 100 dB (A). (f) Fitting of more than one whistle If whistles are fitted at a distance apart of more than 100 metres, it shall be so arranged that they are not sounded simultaneously. (g) Combined whistle systems If due to the presence of obstructions the sound field of a single whistle or of one of the whistles referred to in paragraph 1(f) above is likely to have a zone of greatly reduced signal level, it is recommended that a combined whistle system be fitted so as to overcome this reduction. For the purposes of the Rules a combined whistle system is to be regarded as a single whistle. The
Current to June 20, 2022 Last amended on January 29, 2014
Collision Regulations SCHEDULE 1 International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 with Canadian Modifications
whistles of a combined system shall be located at a distance apart of not more than 100 metres and arranges to be sounded simultaneously. The frequency of any one whistle shall differ from those of the others by at least 10 Hz.
