Canada - Chile Free Trade Agreement
Technical Rectifications to CCFTA Rules of Origin Annexes and
Regulations
The CCFTA Committee on Trade in Goods and Rules of Origin has the mandate to
recommend rectifications to the rules of Origin annexes and regulations. The
Committee agreed to technical rectifications to CCFTA Annex C-00-B (special
provisions for textiles and apparel goods), Annex D-01 (product-specific rules
of origin), Annex D-03.1 (the list of tariff provisions for automotive goods)
and the Uniform Regulations for Chapter D (rules of origin regulations). It
was formally agreed to rectify the relevant portions of the Annexes and Uniform
Regulations in mid-December 2004 through the Exchange of Letters between Canada
and Chile.
The technical rectifications are for the purposes of rectifying
the tariff references for goods in Annex C-00-B, Annex D-01, Annex
D-03.1 and the Uniform Regulations for Chapter D to take into account
changes in the current tariff schedules of Canada and Chile. The
changes to the references to tariff provisions in the current tariff
schedule of each Party are the result of the Amendments to Nomenclature
of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (Harmonized
System - an internationally developed and implemented system of
tariff nomenclature upon which the Parties' tariff schedule are
based) that came into effect on January 1, 2002. These technical
rectifications are set out in the attached Appendices 1 through
4.
The technical rectifications do not constitute substantive changes
to either the CCFTA annexes and the regulations or the Parties tariff
laws; they are intended only for the purpose of clarificatipn and
alignment with the changes to the Harmonized System and ensuring
a uniform application of the regulations by both Parties.
Both Parties implemented the technical rectifications to the CCFTA
rules of origin and regulations on January 1, 2005.
