(

CETA

)

The Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement, CETA, is a trade agreement between the EU and Canada.This came into effect in 2017.This trade agreement allows for a reduction, and in some cases complete cancellation of import duties in Canada. In order to be eligible for these reductions, the exporting party needs to provide proof of the preferential EU-origin of the cargo. For any shipment with a total cargo value of up to €6.000.-, the shipper may issue their own declaration on the commercial invoice. But for shipments with a higher cargo value, the shipper needs to enroll as registered exporter.
