· What are Certificates of Origin
· What are the different types of certificates of origin
· What documents are used to validate a origin claim.
· How do NAFTA certificates work?
· What liability is a Chamber subject to that validates them.
· What are resources are there to assist Chambers and local exporters.
Handouts and examples of various documents will be supplied to those attending this workshop.
