Our Country of Origin Determination course will introduce you to the Kyoto Convention World Customs Organization and describe its relevance to you.
Country of origin determines whether a product is subject to anti-dumping, countervailing or Section 201, 232, and 301 duties when it’s imported into the U.S. Country of origin determines whether a product is eligible for duty free treatment when exported to your customers’ foreign location.
If you are using Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), you already know that Country of Origin Determination is the core of every FTA! This course highlights the importance of documenting Country of Origin for components as well as the finished product.
