Most Favoured Nation (MFN) Tariff (note: Trade Agreement Acronyms.)
Goods originating from all countries, except North Korea and Libya, are entitled to use the rate of duty specified under this column.
Applicable Preferential Tariffs
This column lists reduced rates of duty for goods based on trade agreements such as the:
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA);
United States Tariff (UST);
Mexico Tariff (MT);
Mexico-United States Tariff (MUST);
Chile Tariff (CT);
Canada-Israel Agreement Tariff (CIAT); and
Canada-Costa Rica Tariff (CRT),
or those based on special tariff provisions such as the:
General Preferential Tariff (GPT);
Least Developed Country Tariff (LDCT);
Commonwealth Caribbean Countries Tariff (CCCT);
Australia Tariff (AUT); and
New Zealand Tariff (NZT).
The requirements of the particular trade agreement or tariff treatment must be satisfied in order to benefit from a preferential duty rate. You must possess a valid certificate of origin for the specific trade agreement at the time of importation. For example, to claim the UST you must have a valid NAFTA certificate of origin. Various proof of origin requirements exist for all other preferential tariff treatments. These can include Form A, Certificate of Origin or the Exporter's Statement of Origin. In addition, the goods normally have to be shipped to Canada from a beneficiary country on a through-bill of lading.

*note: a certificate of origin is seldom required for coinage or manufactured bullion, since the issuing government or body makes the origin quite clear on the coin/round/bar itself.
The appeal document that arrives with your package is simple and short... an accurate appeal will yield a re-imbursement in approx. 2 weeks... or better yet fill out your own documentation ahead of time.
