Customs — Country of Origin & USMCA Qualification

Industry front door for decision-tree. Adds domain triggers, example, packs only. Parent Process unchanged. Not legal advice. Origin is rule-specific; verify against the current USMCA text and CBP guidance.

Activate when: determining country of origin; testing USMCA (or other FTA) preference eligibility; marking; "does this qualify for duty-free?"; goods with multi-country inputs. Do NOT activate when: wholly-obtained single-country goods with no preference question.

Why this variant

The parent decision-tree maps branching qualification logic. Origin/preference is a decision tree: wholly obtained? → tariff-shift met? → RVC threshold met? → de minimis? Each branch leads to duty-free, MFN, or special treatment.

Domain inputs → parent's Process

Walk the branches:

Wholly obtained/produced entirely in territory? → originates.
Else: does each non-originating input meet the product-specific rule (tariff shift)?
If not by shift: is Regional Value Content (transaction-value or net-cost) met?
De minimis allowance for small non-originating value?
Confirm certification of origin support + marking rules (substantial transformation for marking).

Worked example

Assembly in Mexico using Chinese components. → Tree: check the PSR — do the Chinese inputs make the required tariff shift on assembly? If yes → USMCA-eligible with a valid certification; if no → test RVC/de minimis. Fails all → MFN duty + China Section 301 exposure. Document the path.

Compliance anchors

USMCA product-specific rules, RVC, de minimis; certification of origin recordkeeping; marking (19 CFR 134).

Packs

Solo broker: origin worksheet per product/BOM.
Brokerage: supplier solicitation for origin certs; PSR library.

Red flags

Claiming preference without the PSR/RVC actually met.
Confusing marking origin with preference origin.
No supporting certification retained.

Verification

Wholly-obtained vs PSR path determined
Tariff-shift / RVC / de minimis tested in order
Valid certification support on file
Marking origin assessed separately
