Question: Can I claim USMCA preference without a certificate of origin?
Answer: Qualifying for preferential treatment under the USMCA requires certain minimum data elements described in Annex 5-A of the USMCA Agreement (Chapter 5 - Origin Procedures). Although a formal certificate of origin may not be required, it's still helpful to present the required information in an organized or standardized format (such as a template) for easier recordkeeping and validation.
