Summary
This memorandum contains the Uniform Regulations for Chapters Three and Five of
NAFTA.
The Uniform Regulations for Chapters Three and Five of NAFTA have been agreed to by
the governments of Canada, Mexico and the United States. The Uniform Regulations
elaborate in detail how NAFTA Parties will interpret, apply and administer the
obligations regarding customs procedures under Chapter Five, and national treatment and
market access under Chapter Three, and are to be read in conjunction with these
Chapters. They are designed to ensure consistent and uniform treatment of, and greater
certainty for, importers, exporters and producers in all three countries.
The Uniform Regulations were implemented in Canada through Canadian legislation,
regulations or departmental policy, all of which are reflected in departmental
Memoranda.
