things related to him/her as passwords, which will be easily guessed by intruders. A combination of characters that mixes alphabetic, numeric and special characters is the best choice for a password, as long as you can easily remember it.

6.6 DELIVERY APPOINTMENT SCHEDULING
All purchases orders shipped through a Distribution Center (regardless of carton quantities) require a delivery appointment to be scheduled at the designated DC.

NOTE: Direct-to-Door shipments do not require a delivery appointment.
6.7 TIMING OF THE APPOINTMENT REQUESTS
AR orders are transmitted via EDI 850 and sent with immediate ship dates. Once the order is received the appointment must be requested. In the event that the vendor has multiple AR orders to ship, it is expected that the request for all the orders will be consolidate to a single appointment request. If the quantity to delivery exceeds a truckload, then HBC expects an appointment per truckload. All Other Orders must have the appointments requested 7 Calendar days prior to the start ship date. Again, when multiple orders are being requested, it is expected that the orders will be consolidated to single appointment. If the quantity to delivery exceeds a truckload, then HBC expects an appointment per truckload, where
PACKING AND SHIPPING REQUIREMENTS

possible AR orders can be combined with other order types to a single appointment request per truckload. Vendors are responsible to account for the transit time to the dc when booking a collect freight appointment as the cancel date is the final in DC date.
6.8 DELIVERY APPOINTMENT SCHEDULING
For vendors using carriers designated by HBC (i.e. Collect POs), delivery appointments MUST be the following manner:
• Appointments must be scheduled 48 hours prior to pick up. In addition, to avoid any late compliance penalties, the appointment date into the DC must be on or before the “Not After Date”. Vendors need to take into account transit time when setting pick up date
• Product must be available for pick-up on the date arranged. Merchandise not available when designated carrier arrives may result in compliance penalty.- Consolidate as much of the PO or multiple POs on a single appointment. Do not create multiple appointments each day or administration penalties will be applied
• Appointment cancellations or alterations must be made at least 24 hours before the expected carrier pick up time or will be subject to compliance charges.
• Appointments must be scheduled by 2pm the day prior to the “Not After Date” Otherwise it will be considered late and subject to late shipping charges

13 TARIFF TREATMENTS
13.1 GENERAL PREFERENTIAL TARIFF TREATMENT (GPT)
A Form “A” or “Exporter Declaration” (see example below) is required by Canada Customs for countries granted GPT Treatment. The Form “A” entitles the importer to use General Preferential Tariff Treatment, provided that at least 60% of the ex-factory price of the goods originates in a GPT beneficiary country or Canada. The goods must be finished in the GPT country in the form they are imported to Canada and shipped directly from that country on a through bill of lading to Canada. Transshipment through intermediary countries is permitted, provided the goods remain under Customs Transit Control while in any intermediary country, do not undergo any operation except caretaking, loading/unloading or load-splitting and remain in storage no longer than 6 months.
Figure 14 A: Sample Exporter’s Statement
13.2 LEAST DEVELOPED COUNTRY TARIFF TREATMENT (LDCT)
The LDCT requirements regarding rules of origin and certification are described in the following sections
• Direct Shipment • Rules of Origin • Certification
13.2.1 SHIPPING REQUIREMENTS
The goods must be shipped directly on a through bill of lading (TBL) to a consignee in Canada from the LDC in which the goods were certified. Evidence in the form of a TBL (or a copy) showing that the goods have been shipped to a consignee in Canada must be presented to the CCRA upon request.
The TBL is one single document that is issued prior to the goods beginning their journey when the carrier assumes care, custody, and control of the goods and will usually contain the following information:
• The identity of the exporter in the country of origin; • The identity of the consignee in Canada; • The identity of the carrier or agent who assumes liability for the performance of the contract; • The contracted routing of the goods identifying all points of transshipment; • A full description of the goods and the marks and numbers of the package; and • The place and date of issue
Exporter’s Statement of Origin
I certify that the goods described in this invoice or in the attached invoice # ______ were produced in the beneficiary country of _______________ and that at least ____ per cent of the ex-factory price of the goods originates in the beneficiary country/countries of ______________.

IMPORT LOGISTICS
SAKS CANADA ADDENDUM 28 REVISED 04-03-2015
NOTE: A TBL that does not include all points of transshipment may be accepted, if these are set out in related shipping documents presented with the TBL.
On a case-by-case basis, an amended TBL may be accepted as proof of direct shipment where documentation errors have occurred and the amended TBL corrects an error in the original document. In such cases, the carrier must provide proof that the amended TBL reflects the actual movement of the goods as contracted when the goods began their journey. Documentation presented must clearly indicate the actual movement of the goods.
Air cargo is usually transshipped in the air carrier’s home country even if no transshipment is shown on the house air waybill. Therefore, where goods are transported via airfreight, the house air waybill is acceptable as a TBL.
13.2.2 RULES OF ORIGIN
There are two methods under which goods from a LDC can be considered to be entitled to the benefits of duty-free access to Canada. First, all goods currently entitled to the benefits of the LDCT can qualify under a wholly produced rule or a cumulative manufacturing process in a LDC beneficiary with value-added inputs or accumulation from other LDCs or Canada. Second, and with specific reference to textile and apparel goods, a good can qualify under a wholly produced rule or one of the new specific rules of origin governing the country of origin of inputs and the manufacture of goods. The application of either one of the existing rules or any of the new rules is dependent on the nature of the good being exported and where it is provided for in the Schedule to the Rules of Origin Regulations Respecting the General Preferential Tariff and the Least Developed Country Tariff (the “schedule”). All goods that are entitled to the LDCT must be certified as originating in a LDC under one of the following rules:
A good originates in a beneficiary country or a least developed country if the good is:
• A mineral good extracted from the soil or the sea-bed of the country; • A vegetable good harvested in the country; • A live animal born and raised in the country; • A good obtained in the country from a live animal; • A good obtained from hunting or fishing in the country; • A good derived from sea fishing or other marine goods taken from the sea by a vessel of the country; • A good produced on board a factory ship of the country exclusively from a good referred to in paragraph • Waste and scrap derived from manufacturing operations of the country; • Used goods of the country imported into Canada for use only for the recovery of raw materials; or • A good produced in the country exclusively from a good referred to in any of paragraph (a) to (h)
General 40% LDC Cumulative:
All goods currently entitled to the benefits of the LDCT originate in an LDC if the value of the materials, parts or products originating outside that country, or in an undetermined location, and used in the manufacture or production of the goods is no more than 60% of the ex-factory price of the goods as packed for shipment to Canada.
Specific Rules of Origin for Textile and Apparel Goods:
Except in the case of goods listed in Parts A1, B1, C1 and D of the schedule (see chart below), goods originate in a least developed country if the value of the materials, parts or products originating outside that country, or in an undetermined location, and used in the manufacture or production of the goods is no more than 60% of the ex-factory price of the goods as packed for shipment to Canada.
Goods listed in Parts A1 and A2 of the schedule originate in a least developed country if they are spun or extruded in a least developed country and do not undergo further processing outside a least developed country. Goods listed in Parts B1 and B2 of the schedule originate in a least developed country if they are produced in a least developed country from yarns originating in a least developed country, a beneficiary country or Canada, provided:
A. The yarns do not undergo further processing outside a least developed country, a beneficiary country or Canada; and
B. The fabrics do not undergo further processing outside a least developed country.
Goods listed in Parts C1 and C2 of the schedule originate in a least developed country if they are assembled in a least developed country from fabric cut in that country or in Canada, or from parts knit to shape, provided the fabric, or the parts knit to shape, are produced in:
IMPORT LOGISTICS
SAKS CANADA ADDENDUM 29 REVISED 04-03-2015
A. Any least developed country or Canada from yarns originating in a least developed country, a beneficiary country or Canada, provided the yarns or fabric do not undergo further processing outside a least developed country or Canada; or
B. A beneficiary country from yarns originating in a least developed country, a beneficiary country or Canada, provided:
I. The yarns and fabric do not undergo further processing outside a least developed country, a beneficiary country or Canada; and
II. The value of any materials, including packing, that are used in the manufacture of the goods and that originate outside the least developed country in which the goods are assembled is no more than 75% of the ex-factory price of the goods as packed for shipment to Canada.
Goods listed in Part D of the schedule originate in a least developed country if they are cut, or knit to shape, and sewn or otherwise assembled in the least developed country from fabric produced in any least developed country or Canada from yarns originating in a least developed country, a beneficiary country or Canada, provided the yarns and fabric have not undergone further processing outside a least developed country or Canada.
13.2.3 TEXTILE AND APPAREL GOODS ORIGINATING IN A LEAST DEVELOPED COUNTRY (LDC) CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN
Textile and apparel goods must be certified as entitled to the benefits of the LDCT on the Textile and Apparel Goods Originating in a Least Developed Country (LDC) Certificate of Origin. The new rules of origin for textile and apparel goods will be set out in D11-4-4.
These instructions and criteria are also available on the reverse side of the original document. For ease of reference, the origin criteria for textile and apparel goods are categorized as follows:
A. The good is produced in an LDC and the value of the materials, parts or products originating outside that LDC, or in an undetermined location, and used in the manufacture or production of the goods does not exceed 60 percent of the ex-factory price of the good as packed for shipment to Canada. For purposes of this criterion, up to twenty percent (20%) of the ex-factory price may originate from any General Preferential Tariff (GPT) eligible countries. This criterion does not apply to goods listed in Part A1, Part B1, Part C1 or D of the Schedule to the Regulations.
B. The good is listed in Part A1 or Part A2 of the Schedule to the Regulations and has been spun or extruded in an LDC and has not undergone any further processing outside an LDC.
C. The good is listed in Part B1 or Part B2 of the Schedule to the Regulations and is produced in an LDC from yarns originating in an LDC, a GPT beneficiary or Canada and the yarns have not undergone further processing outside an LDC, a GPT beneficiary or Canada; and the fabric has not undergone further processing outside an LDC.
D. The good is listed in Part C1 or Part C2 of the Schedule to the Regulations and has been assembled in a LDC from fabric cut in that LDC or Canada, or from parts knit to shape, and the fabric (or parts knit to shape) has been produced in any LDC or Canada from yarns originating in an LDC, a GPT beneficiary or Canada and the yarns or fabric have not undergone further processing outside an LDC or Canada.
