Certificate of Origin

Overview

CaseMark's Certificate of Origin skill automates the drafting of USMCA and NAFTA Certificates of Origin for goods shipped between the United States, Mexico, and Canada. It verifies origin criteria, validates HS classifications, and generates fully compliant certification documents with proper legal declarations and signature blocks.

Preparing Certificates of Origin manually requires navigating complex trade agreement rules, verifying HS classifications across multiple tariff schedules, calculating regional value content, and ensuring every data element meets strict customs requirements. A single error can result in denied preferential tariff treatment, shipment delays, or costly penalties.

CaseMark automates the entire Certificate of Origin drafting process by analyzing your commercial invoices, production records, and party information against USMCA and NAFTA rules. The AI determines the correct origin criterion, validates HS codes, and produces a legally structured certificate ready for review and signature—turning a multi-hour compliance task into minutes.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload commercial invoices, production records, and party information

  2. 2. AI analyzes goods, verifies HS classifications, and determines origin criteria

  3. 3. Review the drafted Certificate of Origin with compliance annotations

  4. 4. Export the finalized certificate in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

Does CaseMark determine whether to use USMCA or NAFTA?

Yes. CaseMark automatically identifies the correct agreement based on your shipment date—USMCA for shipments on or after July 1, 2020, and NAFTA for earlier shipments. This ensures your certificate references the proper legal framework.

Can CaseMark generate blanket certificates covering multiple shipments?

Absolutely. CaseMark supports both single-shipment and blanket certificates covering up to 12 months from the signature date, in accordance with USMCA Article 5.2. You simply specify the coverage period and applicable goods.

How does the tool handle confidential producer information?

CaseMark recognizes scenarios where producer details are confidential and applies the proper USMCA convention—noting 'Available to Customs upon request'—while flagging potential verification risks for your review.

Does CaseMark verify HS tariff classifications?

CaseMark cross-references the HS codes you provide against the goods descriptions and importing country requirements, flagging inconsistencies or insufficient digit-level classifications before the certificate is finalized.

What origin criteria does CaseMark support?

CaseMark analyzes and applies all four USMCA origin criteria (A, B, C, and D), including wholly obtained goods, regional value content calculations, and tariff shift rules, providing clear justification for each determination.

Is the generated certificate legally compliant?

CaseMark drafts certificates following the official USMCA and NAFTA certification requirements, including all mandatory data elements and legal declarations. However, final review by a qualified trade compliance professional is always recommended before submission to customs authorities.
