OVERVIEW
Under the Tariff Act of 1930, every article of foreign origin (or its container) imported into the U.S., unless exempted, must be marked to indicate to the ultimate purchaser the article’s country of origin. The Tariff Act regulations at 19 C.F.R. Section 134, administered and enforced by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), provide exemptions to COO marking requirements and the products exempted from COO marking requirements by regulation under 19 C.F.R. Section 134.33. Finished products and parts of end items can originate in many different countries.
This training program will discuss the historical background, legal framework, and overall concepts of origin. It will also highlight the difference between non-preferential and preferential origins and guide attendees in making origin determinations for imports and exports.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
All countries regulate the movement of goods across their borders. In most countries, a customs agency or customs service governs this import and export activity. Since 2001’s 9/11, US imports have been managed by the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in the United States. Pre-dating 9/11, entering into force in 1994, the U. S. Customs Modernization Act (a Congressional Act), also known as the Mod Act, transferred the responsibility of adhering to all U.S. import laws and regulations to a shared responsibility between CBP and the U.S. importer.
