Taking advantage of reduced duty through free trade agreements, such as the USMCA or CETA, requires you to have a valid Certificate of Origin for all qualifying goods from each of your suppliers, each year. For importers with many unrelated vendors and a large tariff base, collecting and verifying certificates of origin can be an onerous task to take on within a short time frame each year.

TCM ensures data transparency by providing insight into solicitation status and supplier engagement. Logicus’s team of customs specialists will support you and your suppliers by:
- Soliciting origin eligibility data from suppliers.
- Following-up regularly on outstanding requests.
- Auditing supplier responses for accuracy and data integrity.
- Managing and maintaining a database of supplier and related product data

- Take advantage of maximum savings by using preferential duty rates and know you can meet the regulatory obligations that come with them.
- Minimize your risk of financial penalties from non-compliance by meeting deadlines.
- Focus on your core business by removing the annual burden of collecting Certificates of Origin.
