USMCA requires proper qualification, procedures, and documentation.
Learn To Save On Tariffs And Fees With USMCA
Issuing a USMCA origin statement represents a firm’s commitment to understanding the rules of origination, record keeping, and legal obligations. Our course provides the information you need to make decisions that will ensure your compliance with USMCA’s rules, U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s regulations while benefiting your supply chain and your customers.
Same Free Trade Agreement, but 3 different names:
- United States, the agreement is named USMCA (United States, Mexico, Canada Agreement)
- Canada, the agreement is named the CUSMA (Canada United States Mexico Agreement)
- Mexico, the agreement is named the T-MEC (Tratado entre Mexico Estados Unidos y Canada)
USMCA’s entry into force symbolizes the beginning of a new chapter for North American firms; it supports trade that is more balanced and reciprocal between the three member countries. Trade and stronger economic development in North America are a goal of the USMCA. The USMCA contains enhancements; it modernized products’ rules of origin, improved agricultural market access and strengthened intellectual property, digital trade, financial services, and labor rules.

My role basically receives LC’s and pass along to our Accounting Department for approval. Only later do I get involved with documentation to avoid discrepancies. Now that I’ve had this training I no longer fear the LC and will have a better understanding of how to prepare the correct documentation. The instructor did a wonderful job of getting all of the participants involved. – International Sales Support Representative”
