This from a US Gov't website.
Chapter Four provides that goods wholly produced or obtained in the territory of one or more NAFTA party (for example, crops grown in the soil of a country, minerals taken from its mines) are "originating goods" and thus eligible for preferential treatment. It should be noted, however, that under paragraphs ten and eleven of Annex 703.2 (governing market access for agricultural products), the United States and Mexico may treat certain agricultural goods traded between them as "non-originating" even where they meet Chapter Four's origin rules. (See discussion of this point in connection with Section A of Chapter Seven.) http://www.ustr.gov/webfm_send/2647 Bob has said the problem is with the Mexican Gov't so non-originating should not have any bearing.
