Ensure that you are compliant with customs regulations and paying the proper rate of duty on your imported products. Proper tariff classification is the basic foundation for all customs transactions, including qualification for the U.S., Mexico, Canada Free Trade Agreement (USMCA). Correct classification of your products is essential for determining the appropriate duties and remaining fully in compliance with all Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Regulations). The Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) provides duty rates for virtually every item that exists, and is harmonized to at least the 6-digit level almost across the globe.

Effective July 1, 2020, the USMCA trade agreement officially replaced NAFTA as the trilateral free trade agreement between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Whether the manufacturer of importer is located in the U.S. (USMCA), Canada (CUSMA), or Mexico (T-MEC), the automotive industry as a whole has been significantly affected by dramatic rule changes, including an increase in overall value content requirements, the introduction of the Labor Value Content (LVC) requirements, and new categories and requirements for the qualification of automotive parts. The new USMCA Content Reporting course - developed by OEM, supplier, and free trade agreement experts - is an in-depth, comprehensive training geared toward automotive trade compliance practitioners and working managers. The training is scheduled for two consecutive days (16 hours total).
