3229 Form PDF Details

The Insular Possession Certificate of Origin, designated as Form 3229 by the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Customs and Border Protection, serves a specialized regulatory role under 19 CFR 7.3. This document, integral for shipments originating from U.S. insular possessions—excluding Puerto Rico—to the mainland United States, meticulously records the journey of goods, ensuring compliance with specific trade regulations set forth in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). With sections dedicated to capturing details ranging from the port of origin and shipment dates to comprehensive descriptions of the merchandise, including any foreign materials used in its production, Form 3229 stands as a testament to the rigorous standards upheld in trade practices. It delineates not only the origins of products and materials but also emphasizes the economic distinctions attached to goods produced within U.S. territories. Additionally, this form plays a vital role in certifying that the documented goods meet the criteria for duty-free entry into the U.S. mainland as outlined under HTSUS General Note 3(a)(iv), further promoting fair and regulated commerce. Through its demand for detailed recording and strict adherence to regulatory prerequisites, such as the requirement to disclose any foreign materials that constitute more than a specified percentage of the product's value, Form 3229 embodies the intersection of trade efficiency, economic policy, and legal oversight.
