Do you know the difference between preference and non preference origin and how to determine both?
In the 21st Century globalized marketplace, virtually all manufactured or produced products contain materials, and use services, of more t whan one country. That raises a critical question: how do you accurately determine a shipment’s “Country of Origin” for both exports and imports?
Recent trade developments have put origin front and centre—yet with varying definitions and rules depending on the context, it’s easy to misclassify and incur excess duties, underpay, or even face legal penalties. This webinar delivers a concise, high-level overview of U.S. tariff measures, WTO disciplines, and the principles behind non-preferential origin determination. Real-world case studies and best-practice mitigation strategies will bring the rules to life.
Why Attend?
Determining a product’s origin can be deceptively complex—and getting it wrong carries real costs: non-preferential origin is a mandatory legal step for duty assessment, while preferential origin is an elective pathway to tariff savings and market access. Exporters and importers who master both can ensure compliance and gain a competitive edge.
In this training, you will:
- Stay ahead of evolving rules: Get up-to-speed on the U.S. tariff actions and WTO developments.
- Mitigate compliance risk: Learn to spot the most common origin-declaration pitfalls that trigger audits and fines.
- Maximize savings: Understand how to document and leverage preferential origin to unlock duty reductions and duty-free access.
