Abstract:
The objectives of NAFTA are to eliminate barrier to trade between the United States, Mexico, and Canada, and facilitate conditions of fair competition within the free trade area. These forms are used to verify claims for preferential tariff treatment under NAFTA. CBP is seeking approval of Form 447, North American Free Trade Agreement Motor Vehicle Averaging Election, in order to gather information required by 19 CFR 181 Appendix, Section 11, (2) "Information Required When Producer Chooses to Average for Motor Vehicles". This form is provided to CBP when a manufacturer chooses to average motor vehicles for the purpose of obtaining NAFTA preference.
