The CPTPP provides Canadian companies access to a region representing over 13% of the global economy. Member countries include large mature economies like Japan and Australia, alongside high-growth markets like Vietnam and Malaysia.
To qualify for duty-free status, your goods must undergo sufficient production in a member country. This is governed by two primary categories:
| Rule Category | Requirements |
|---|---|
| General Rule (RVC) | Requires at least 40% Regional Value Content added within CPTPP countries. |
| Textiles & Apparel | "Yarn Forward" rule: yarns and fabrics must be produced within the CPTPP zone. |
| Automotive | Requires at least 45% Regional Value Content to qualify for duty-free entry. |
Pro Tip: For shipments valued under CAN $3,300, the formal proof of origin is often waived, though records must still be maintained. For commercial goods under USD $1,000, a simple signed statement on the invoice usually suffices.
The best part of CPTPP is that it was built with small businesses in mind. This provides a competitive advantage when you are selling your Canadian made goods to foreign markets.
Choosing the right mode is critical for your Landed Cost strategy. Consignments under 100kg are often more cost-effective via air cargo than ocean freight due to lower port surcharges.
Under CPTPP, you do not need a government-issued form. A Statement of Origin can be added to any commercial document. Read more about Certificate of origin. Here is some sample text:
