The U.S. - Mexico - Canada Agreement (USMCA) is the updated version of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Beginning July 1, 2020, the USMCA replaced NAFTA and requires companies who have been benefiting from the free trade agreement to make their claims for preferential duty rates under the new agreement. Before you make those new claims, make sure you understand the changes!
