Chapters 3 & 4 of the NAFTA
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act 1 (the Act) requires relatively few major changes in existing United States law or administrative practice. 2lthough not required to implement the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), many of the changes which have been made were deemed desirable by both the President and Congress. 3 The Act addresses the relationship between existing United States law and the NAFTA.Section 102(a)(2) of the Act states that provisions of United States law that are not addressed by the Act are left unchanged. 4Thus, Congress refused to provide for a general preemption of federal statutory law by the NAFTA. 5 This section will focus on Chapters Three and Four of the NAFTA.These chapters are the cornerstones of the NAFTA's provisions concerning trade in goods.Chapter Four lays out the unique and complex procedure utilized under the NAFTA to determine those goods which may receive special treatment (originating goods).Chapter Three provides one of the key principles of the NAFTAthe elimination of tariffs on "originating goods" traded within the North American free-trade area.Thus, these two chapters work together to create a preferential system for certain goods traded among Mexico, Canada, and the United States (the Parties).When discussing the NAFTA, it often becomes confusing which source is being referenced.The agreement signed between the Parties has been codified into the United States Code.For the sake of clarity, all references will be made to provisions in the NAFTA, not to their equivalent U.S.C. sections.The NAFTA also contains annexes that are essential to understanding its workings. 6The main text of each chapter states the general rules; the annexes which follow each chapter provide country specific information.When applicable, this section will discuss changes to United States' law required by NAFTA and any current United States' regulatory developments in these areas. I. Chapter Four: Rules of OriginChapter Four of the NAFTA, along with the chapter's annexes, provide rules for

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
