NAFTA & USMCA:

What Will Change & How to Comply

The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) will replace the North American Free Trade (NAFTA) and enter into force on July 1, 2020. U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer recently notified Canada and Mexico, as well as Congress, that domestic procedures to implement the USMCA have been completed, and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency has posted interim implementing instructions for compliance under the USMCA.  These instructions will be updated once the final regulations and the General Notes are published.
