The agreement is set to eliminate a huge portion of tariffs between Canada and the EU.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CETA will have a positive impact on the flow of textiles and apparel between the two involved parties.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Here is our breakdown of the main points of the agreement:<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>EU origin textile and apparel goods may wind up being cheaper than US origin goods.<\/strong> CETA eliminates all Canadians customs duties on textile\/apparel originating from the EU. NAFTA does not offer the same lenient rules of origin, making it likely that US origin goods come out pricier for consumers overall.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CETA may also result in lower CBSA reassessment risk for certifications of EU origin textile\/apparel goods.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The manufacturing of textile and apparel goods must be carried out within the beneficiary country in order to be considered the origin country.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>CETA also includes origin quotas for textiles\/apparel, classified by product category.<\/strong> These origin quotas are exceptionally strict, and go into immense detail (See Article 2 of Annex 6 of the Protocol). However, quotas for textiles\/apparel can be increased as needed for the following year if 80% of the origin quota is met for a product during the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, CETA\u2019s origin stipulations are not exactly straight-forward, but they are much less complicated than the rules of origin featured in NAFTA, that goes into great detail regarding fibres, fabric, yards, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it will be necessary for vendors and brokers to review the rules on a case-by-case basis to see where they will fit into the new agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Have any more questions on how this may affect your business?
