Trade Documents - Online Certificate of Origin requests
For importers with many vendors and a large tariff base, collecting and verifying certificates of origin can be an onerous task to take on, especially within a short time frame each year. Companies are now looking for outside help in these tasks, so focus on the core business again becomes priority.
The benefits of having a managed service approach to these tasks include:
- Minimizing the risk of financial penalties from non-compliance by meeting NAFTA, or other free trade agreement deadlines.
- Taking advantage of maximum savings by using preferential duty rates; knowing that their regulatory obligations can be met.
- Managing the burdensome task of soliciting and monitoring Certificate of Origins and manufacturer’s affidavits from suppliers.
- Maximizing advantages of reduced duty through free trade programs by supplying a valid Certificate of Origin for all qualifying products from each supplier.
