Submit and manage CUSMA certificates of origin with DDP eligibility, origin criteria A–D, upload or generate certificates, and track submission status.
CUSMA (Canada–United States–Mexico Agreement) can reduce or eliminate duties on qualifying goods moving among Canada, the US, and Mexico. This article explains eligibility, where to work in Stallion, how to submit a certificate (upload or generated), and what statuses mean.
Who it helps — Sellers whose goods are manufactured in CA, US, or MX and who ship within that trade zone. Preferential treatment lasts for the certificate blanket period (up to 12 months).
Where to work
Product eligibility — DDP status Approved and manufacturer country US, CA, or MX. If the CUSMA tab is greyed out, DDP is not approved yet or the manufacturer country is outside USMCA.

New submission — Upload — New Submission → select eligible product(s) → Upload → attach completed certificate (PDF) → optional blanket dates → submit for review.
New submission — Generate — New Submission → eligible product(s) → Generate → complete certifier role and blanket period; exporter, producer, and importer contact blocks; product table (HTS, origin criterion, producer indicator, method, country of origin); signature and authorization; use Preview (and PDF if offered) before submit.
Statuses — Pending (awaiting review) → Approved (CUSMA rates for included products through blanket end) or Rejected (see notes; resubmit). Expired after blanket end — renew when offered (often pre-filled from prior submission; new version such as v2). Expired or expiring within ~30 days may show renewal options from the portal, product, or product groups.
