Export Education: Introduction to USMCA

This Event Has Passed.

Join us for a free webinar overviewing the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).

How many times have you shipped to Canada/Mexico and filled out a United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) proof of eligibility based on your customers’ instructions? Did you have any supporting documentation showing how you researched the rules of origin and obtained any manufactures affidavits proving your goods qualify for USMCA? Have you documented your research on your bill of materials as to how your goods qualify? Do you know if your goods have a duty associated with them or where to go to get this information?

This program will help you be in full compliance with all USMCA regulations. You will know where to go and what to look for to be able to determine if your products qualify for the benefits of USMCA. Most companies are exposing themselves unnecessarily to USMCA penalties. In some cases, your goods have low or zero duty already and therefore no need to exposure your company to potential USMCA violations or to fill out a USMCA proof of eligibility if your goods do not qualify.

1. Specific Rules of Origin – How to determine if your product qualifies
