  1. The treatment to be accorded by a Party under paragraph 1 means, with respect to a regional level of government, treatment no less favorable than the most favorable treatment that regional level of government accords to any like, directly competitive, or substitutable goods, as the case may be, of the Party of which it forms a part.

Article 2.5: Drawback and Duty Deferral Programs

  1. Except as otherwise provided in this Article, no Party shall refund the amount of customs duties paid, or waive or reduce the amount of customs duties owed, on a good imported into its territory, on condition that the good is:

(a)       subsequently exported to the territory of another Party;

(b)       used as a material in the production of another good that is subsequently exported to the territory of another Party; or

(c)       substituted by an identical or similar good used as a material in the production of another good that is subsequently exported to the territory of another Party,

in an amount that exceeds the lesser of the total amount of customs duties paid or owed on the good on importation into its territory and the total amount of customs duties paid to another Party on the good that has been subsequently exported to the territory of that other Party.

  1. No Party shall, on condition of export, refund, waive, or reduce: (a)  an antidumping or countervailing duty;

(b)       a premium offered or collected on an imported good arising out of any tendering system in respect of the administration of quantitative import restrictions, or tariff rate quotas or tariff preference levels; or

(c)       customs duties paid or owed on a good imported into its territory and substituted by an identical or similar good that is subsequently exported to the territory of another Party.

  1. If a good is imported into the territory of a Party pursuant to a duty deferral program and is subsequently exported to the territory of another Party, or is used as a material in the production of another good that is subsequently exported to the territory of another Party, or is substituted by an identical or similar good used as a material in the production of another good that is subsequently exported to the territory of another Party, the Party from whose territory the good is exported:

(a)       shall assess the customs duty as if the exported good had been withdrawn for domestic consumption; and

(b)       may waive or reduce such customs duty to the extent permitted under paragraph 1.

  1. In determining the amount of a customs duty that may be refunded, waived, or reduced pursuant to paragraph 1 on a good imported into its territory, each Party shall require presentation of satisfactory evidence of the amount of customs duties paid to another Party on the good that has been subsequently exported to the territory of that other Party.
  1. If satisfactory  evidence  of  the  customs  duty  paid  to  the  Party  to  which  a  good  is subsequently exported under a duty deferral program described in paragraph 3 is not presented within 60 days after the date of exportation, the Party from whose territory the good was exported:

(a)       shall collect the customs duty as if the exported good had been withdrawn for domestic consumption; and

(b)       may refund such customs duty, to the extent permitted under paragraph 1, on the timely presentation of such evidence under its laws and regulations.

  1. This Article does not apply to:

(a)       a good entered under bond for transportation and exportation to the territory of another Party;

(b)       a good exported to the territory of another Party in the same condition as when imported into the territory of the Party from which the good was exported.1  If that good has been commingled with fungible goods and exported in the same condition, its origin for purposes of this subparagraph may be determined on the basis of inventory management methods such as first-in, first-out or last-in, first-out.  For greater certainty, nothing in this subparagraph shall be construed to permit a Party to waive, refund, or reduce a customs duty contrary to paragraph 2(c);

(c)       a good imported into the territory of a Party that is deemed to be exported from its territory, is used as a material in the production of another good that is deemed to be exported to the territory of another Party, or is substituted by an identical or similar good used as a material in the production of another good that is deemed to be exported to the territory of another Party, by reason of:

(i)        delivery to a duty-free shop,

(ii)       delivery for ship’s stores or supplies for ships or aircraft, or

(iii)     delivery for use in joint undertakings of two or more of the Parties and that will subsequently become the property of the Party into whose territory the good was deemed to be exported;

(d)       a refund of customs duties by a Party on a particular good imported into its territory and subsequently exported to the territory of another Party, if that refund is granted by reason of the failure of that good to conform to sample or specification, or by reason of the shipment of that good without the consent of the consignee;

(e)       an originating good that is imported into the territory of a Party and is subsequently exported to the territory of another Party, or used as a material in the production of another good that is subsequently exported to the territory of another Party, or is substituted by an identical or similar good used as a material in the production of another good that is subsequently exported to the territory of another Party;

(f)        for exports from the territory of the United States to the territory of Canada or Mexico, goods provided for in U.S. tariff items 1701.13.20 or 1701.14.20 that are imported into the territory of the United States under any re-export program or any like program and used as a material in the production of, or substituted by an identical or similar good used as a material in the production of:

1   Processes such as testing, cleaning, repacking, inspecting, sorting, or marking a good, or preserving a good in its same condition, shall not be considered to change the good’s condition.

(i)        a good provided for in Canadian tariff item 1701.99.00 or Mexican tariff items 1701.99.01, 1701.99.02, and 1701.99.99 (refined sugar), or

(ii)       sugar  containing  products  that  are  prepared  foodstuffs  or  beverages classified in headings 17.04 and 18.06 or in Chapters 19, 20, 21, or 22; or

(g)       for trade between Canada and the United States: (i)        imported citrus products,

(ii)       an imported good used as a material in the production of, or substituted by an identical or similar good used as a material in the production of, a good provided for in U.S. tariff items 5811.00.20 (quilted cotton piece goods),

5811.00.30 (quilted man-made piece goods) or 6307.90.99 (furniture moving pads), or Canadian tariff items 5811.00.10 (quilted cotton piece goods), 5811.00.20 (quilted man-made piece goods) or 6307.90.30 (furniture moving pads), that are subject to the most-favored-nation rate of duty when exported to the territory of the other Party, and

(iii)     an imported good used as a material in the production of apparel that is subject to the most-favored-nation rate of duty when exported to the territory of the other Party.

  1. For the purposes of this Article:

identical or similar goods means “identical goods” and “similar goods,” respectively, as defined in the Customs Valuation Agreement, or as otherwise provided for under the law of the importing Party;

material means “material” as defined in Article 4.1 (Definitions);

(a)       each Party shall allow a vehicle, or shipping container or other substantial holder, that enters its territory from the territory of another Party to exit its territory on any route that is reasonably related to the economic and prompt departure of that vehicle, or shipping container or other substantial holder;

(b)       no Party shall require any security or impose any penalty or charge solely by reason of any difference between the port of entry and the port of departure of a vehicle, or shipping container or other substantial holder;

  1. No Party shall apply a customs duty to a good, regardless of its origin, that re-enters its territory after that good has been temporarily exported from its territory to the territory of another Party for repair or alteration, regardless of whether that repair or alteration could have been performed in the territory of the Party from which the good was exported for repair or alteration or has increased the value of the good.

Article 2.11:  Import and Export Restrictions

  1. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Party shall adopt or maintain any prohibition or restriction on the importation of any good of another Party or on the exportation or sale for export of any good destined for the territory of another Party, except in accordance with Article XI of the GATT 1994, including its interpretative notes, and to this end Article XI of the GATT 1994 and its interpretative notes are incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement, mutatis mutandis.
  1. The Parties understand that GATT 1994 rights and obligations incorporated by paragraph

1 prohibit, in any circumstances in which any other form of restriction is prohibited, a Party from adopting or maintaining:

(a)       an export or import price requirement, except as permitted in enforcement of antidumping and countervailing duty orders or price undertakings;

(b)       import licensing conditioned on the fulfilment of a performance requirement; or

(c)       a voluntary export restraint inconsistent with Article VI of the GATT 1994, as implemented under Article 18 of the SCM Agreement and Article 8.1 of the AD Agreement.

  1. If a Party adopts or maintains a prohibition or restriction on the importation from or exportation to a non-Party of a good, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent that Party from:

(a)       limiting or prohibiting the importation of the good of that non-Party from the territory of another Party; or

(b)       requiring, as a condition for exporting the good of the Party to the territory of another Party, that the good not be re-exported to the non-Party, directly or indirectly, without being consumed in the territory of the other Party.

  1. If a Party adopts or maintains a prohibition or restriction on the importation of a good from a non-Party, the Parties, on the request of a Party, shall consult with a view to avoiding undue interference with or distortion of pricing, marketing, or distribution arrangements in another Party.
  1. No Party shall as a condition for engaging in importation generally, or for the importation of a particular good, require a person of another Party to establish or maintain a contractual or other relationship with a distributor in its territory.
  1. For greater certainty, paragraph 5 does not prevent a Party from requiring that a person referred to in that paragraph designate a point of contact for the purpose of facilitating communications between its regulatory authorities and that person.
  1. Paragraphs 1 through 6 do not apply to the measures set out in Annex 2-A (Exceptions to

Article 2.3 (National Treatment) and Article 2.11 (Import and Export Restrictions)).

  1. For greater certainty, paragraph 1 applies to the importation of any good implementing or incorporating cryptography, if the good is not designed or modified specifically for government use and is sold or otherwise made available to the public.
  1. For greater certainty, no Party shall adopt or maintain a prohibition or restriction on the importation of originating used vehicles from the territory of another Party. This Article does not prevent a Party from applying motor vehicle safety or emissions measures, or vehicle registration requirements, of general application to originating used vehicles in a manner consistent with this Agreement.

Article 2.12:  Remanufactured Goods

  1. For greater  certainty,  Article  2.11.1  (Import  and  Export  Restrictions)  applies  to prohibitions and restrictions on a remanufactured good.
  1. Subject to its obligations under this Agreement and the WTO Agreement, a Party may require that a remanufactured good:

(a)       be identified as such, including through labelling, for distribution or sale in its territory, and

(b)       meet all applicable technical requirements that apply to an equivalent good in new condition.

  1. If a Party adopts or maintains a prohibition or a restriction on a used good, it shall not apply the measure to a remanufactured good.

Article 2.13: Transparency in Import Licensing Procedures

  1. Subject to paragraph 2, each Party shall notify the other Parties of its existing import licensing procedures, if any, as soon as practicable, after this Agreement enters into force. The notification shall:

(a)       include the information specified in Article 5.2 of the Import Licensing Agreement and in the annual questionnaire on import licensing procedures described in Article

7.3 of the Import Licensing Agreement; and

(b)       be without prejudice as to whether the import licensing procedures are consistent with this Agreement.

  1. A Party shall be deemed to be in compliance with the obligations in paragraph 1 with respect to an import licensing procedure if:

(a)       it has notified that procedure to the Committee on Import Licensing established under Article 4 of the Import Licensing Agreement together with the information specified in Article 5.2 of that agreement; and

(b)       it has provided the information requested in the questionnaire on import licensing procedures under Article 7.3 of the Import Licensing Agreement in its most recent submission to the Committee on Import Licensing before the entry into force of this Agreement.

  1. A Party shall publish on an official government website any new or modified import licensing procedure, including any information that it is required to be published under Article

1.4(a) of the Import Licensing Agreement. To the extent possible, the Party shall do so at least 20 days before the new procedure or modification takes effect.

  1.
