Introduction to USMCA

        How many times have you shipped to Canada/Mexico and simply filled out a 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?

Program overview: 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 product's qualify for the benefits of USMCA. Most companies are exposing themselves unnecessarily to USMCA penalties.
