Goods that meet The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) rules of origin can benefit from preferential duty free import. The MFN tariff rates of Canada and Estonia apply to goods that do not meet the rules of origin (non-originating goods) under CETA.
Country origin rules are associated with factors used to determine if the product is eligible for preferential duty free treatment under CETA. CETA rules don’t require a formal certificate in order to obtain tariff benefits. A declaration on the invoice or any other commercial document accompanying the shipment is enough.
