As proper tariff classification is the basic foundation for all customs transactions (including qualification for USMCA), this course will help you better understand the harmonized classification system of imported products to ensure you’re compliant with customs regulations and paying the proper rate of duty.

Designed for trade compliance, international trade, and supply chain professionals, this course — available in both English and Spanish — introduces free trade agreement and USMCA/T-MEC concepts to facilitate a better understanding of the rules of origin, new automotive-specific requirements, and more.

Developed by volunteers from OEMs, heavy truck manufacturers, and Tier 1 suppliers — along with guidance from trade compliance experts — our two-day USMCA training includes an in-depth review of the rules of origin and the step-by-step process to qualify your goods for USMCA, along with a handbook for future reference.
