Informed Compliance Publication: U.S. Rules of Origin

As part of our continuing series covering the U.S. Customs Informed Compliance publications, we would like to cover the Rules of Origin.  This publication discusses free trade agreements (NAFTA page 16) and the rules of origin that govern each program.  Additionally, page twenty-two (22) of this publication covers the importer’s responsibility to use reasonable care when determining the country of origin.  Given the current climate in trade and U.S. Customs increased focus on compliance, we suggest that your company takes a few minutes to review this publication.
