Origin Determination Under Free Trade Agreements

With 19 existing Free Trade Agreements covering 20 countries and more to come, it is essential for U.S. exporters to learn how to properly determine origin in order to take advantage of the duty preferences allowed under these agreements. Many small and medium-sized exporters do not understand how to use FTAs to their advantage and may lose a critical competitive edge in key foreign markets as a result. 

Attendees will learn the origin determination process under free trade agreements, including identification of specific rules of origin, preference criteria, documentation requirements and customs clearance procedures. The program will also include a case study of using FTAs from an experienced exporter.
