International trade is easier now than at any point in our country’s history. The internet and the ease of international travel make it easier to find international suppliers and customers. And the growing number of free trade agreements makes it easier and cheaper to move goods between trading partners—as long as you understand and follow all the regulations.
This book will give you detailed information regarding the three different trade agreements that the United States has negotiated with Singapore, Chile and Australia. It provides an overview of the three trade agreements and detailed information on the responsibility of the importer and exporter in making a claim for preferential tariff treatment in each country. The book gives you a definition of the various rules of origin, and shows you examples of how you can apply them to different kinds of products.
U.S. Trade Agreements includes both an example of a Certificate of Origin with instructions on completing the form or the required written statement that you use to verify that your goods qualify under the rules of origin. The book also covers corrections and post-importation claims in addition to your protest rights to contest a negative origin determination by the government. A helpful chart compares the elements of each of the three agreements, which will make it easier to distinguish the differences between the agreements.
