The country of origin of a product can affect its duty rate and preference program eligibility as well as whether it’s subject to AD/CV duties, trade sanctions, or other import restrictions.

Failure to properly determine the country of origin, and to mark imported goods with that information, can result in penalties, loss of duty preferences, and detentions or seizures.

In today’s global supply chains, however, it can be difficult to determine the country in which origin is conferred. Many free trade agreements and preference programs require goods to be substantially transformed in a partner country to gain duty benefits, but when products undergo processing in or incorporate parts from multiple countries it can be a challenge to achieve and confirm compliance. And with origin rules that can vary by agreement or program, the origin of a product under one may not be the same for another.
