When shipping products from one country to another, the products may have to be marked with country of origin, and the country of origin will generally be required to be indicated in the export/import documents and governmental submissions. Country of origin will affect its admissibility, the rate of duty, its entitlement to special duty or trade preference programs, antidumping, and government procurement.
Today, many products are an outcome of a large number of parts and pieces that come from many different countries, and that may then be assembled together in a third country. In these cases, it's hard to know exactly what is the country of origin, and different rules apply as to how to determine their "correct" country of origin. Generally, articles only change their country of origin if the work or material added to an article in the second country constitutes a substantial transformation, or, the article changes its name, tariff code, character or use (for instance from wheel to car). Value added in the second country may also be an issue.

Country of origin is especially important in situation where there is a trade agreement in place. For example, NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement). Goods that are imported into Canada and then simply re-exported to the USA will not qualify. Goods that have been manufactured in Canada or assembled using a certain percentage of parts made in Canada and then exported to the USA will qualify for a reduced rate of duty or may even be free of duty.
Hope this helps.
