Preparing for USMCA Day: Episode II - USMCA Customs Compliance and Automotive Rules of Origin

The New NAFTA, known as USMCA (in U.S.), CUSMA (in Canada) and T-MEC (in Mexico), will enter into force on July 1, 2020 (or later). As the world focuses on business resumption and recovery in the wake of COVID-19, preparing for the new agreement will be critical for companies relying on North American supply and value chains.

Episode II in our series will address the “nuts and bolts” of customs compliance for all companies navigating USMCA and engage in a “deep dive” on the new automotive rules of origin (ROO). The Episode will include a general review of key issues for determining and certifying origin under the Agreement, valuation, and specific examples from sectors such as automotive, chemicals, energy, textiles and technology. The session also will include an update on North American supply chain issues during COVID-19.

Episode II speakers include: 

• Adam Hill, President and COO, Scarbrough International
• Tiffany Melvin, President, North American Strategy for Competitiveness (NASCO)
• Eric Miller, President, Rideau Potomac
• Bruce Thelen, Member, International Trade & Customs, Dickinson Wright
• Dan Ujczo, Practice Group Chair, Canada-U.S., Dickinson Wright
