They will also provide an overview of some of the core provisions that have taken effect as of July 1. These include the new rules for certification of origin, changes to the low value shipment and de minimis thresholds, optional advance rulings to support CUSMA origin claims, new rules for verifications, dispute resolution mechanisms, and more.
