Exempt Handler Affidavit

The Uncertified Handler Affidavit has been replaced by the Exempt Handler Affidavit.

This form applies to uncertified handlers working with CCOF-certified operations, including storage facilities, brokers, traders, or distributors. The uncertified operation completes the form and the CCOF-certified operation submits it to CCOF for review. This form helps CCOF determine if the uncertified operation is exempt or must be certified. Private label brand owners, customs brokers, logistics brokers, transporters, and transloaders may review the form to determine if they are exempt, but are not required to submit the form.
