Specify the origin criterion (A, B, C, or D) under which the good qualifies, as set out in Article 4.2 (Originating Goods):
A - Wholly obtained or produced entirely in the territory of one or more of the Parties, as defines in Article 4.3 (Wholly Obtained or Produced Goods).

C - Produced entirely in the territory of one or more of the Parties exclusively from originating materials.
D - "Except for a good provided for in Chapter 61 to 63 of the Harmonized System:
(i) produced entirely in the territory of one or more of the Parties
(ii) one or more of the non-originating materials provided for as parts under the Harmonized System used in the production of the good cannot satisfy the requirements set out in Annex 4-B (Product-Specific Rules of Origin) because both the good and its materials are classified in the same subheading or same heading that is not further subdivided into subheadings or the good was imported into the territory of a Party in an unassembled or a disassembled form but was classified as an assembled good pursuant to rule 2(a) of the General Rules of Interprestation of the Harmonized System; and

Certification Indicator
Specify Certifier's authority (in accordance with Article 5.2) for Certification of the good (A, B, C, or D) based on the following. SELECT ONLY ONE:
A - Certifier is not the Producer, but has a certification or statement from the Producer*
B - Certifier is the Importer**
C - Certifier is the Exporter
D - Certifier is the Producer
NOTE: Any good for which you are the Producer, always select Indicator D even if another indicator may apply.
*All USMCA Certificates require a statement of the Certifier's status as either Importer, Exporter, or Producer. A good listed with an indicator A should/will only ever be used as a supporting statement of USMCA eligibility and cannot be used as a basis to claim USMCA preference on that good at time of entry. If the certifier or a recipient of this Certificate wishes to claim preferential treatment on a good listed with an Indicator A, they must issue a new USMCA Certificate declaring themselves as either the Exporter (Indicator C) or the Importer (Indicator B), as appropriate.
**Restrictions on use by country may apply, see Article 5.2

For each good described in Field #5, where the good is subject to a Regional Value Content (RVC) requirement, indicate "NC" if the RVC was calculated according to the Net Cost method and "TV" if the good was calculated according to the Transaction Value method. If the good was qualified via a tariff shift, indicate TS. If Origin Criterion A or C, enter "NO".
