Free Trade Agreements & Origin Determination

Helping you reduce import and export costs by structuring trade activities correctly, including compliant and well-managed foreign trade zone operations.

Reduce Duties Without Guesswork

Are you fully using your Free Trade Agreement benefits, or risking penalties due to incorrect origin claims? Determining whether goods qualify under an FTA is one of the most common areas of customs error. Small mistakes in origin rules, supplier documentation, or marking requirements can lead to denied preferences, back duties, audits, and lost savings. We help you get this right before it becomes a problem.

More About FREE TRADE AGREEMENT

How We Help You Use FTAs Correctly

NXTHAUL supports businesses by reviewing, verifying, and structuring origin determinations so FTA claims are accurate, defensible, and properly documented. We help you:

  • Confirm whether your products qualify under applicable FTAs
  • Interpret complex Rules of Origin correctly
  • Identify gaps that could invalidate duty savings
  • Reduce exposure to customs penalties or retroactive duties

Our role is to bring clarity before declarations are made.

How NXTHAUL Helps You Use FTAs Correctly

Clarity on Origin. Confidence in Savings.

We help you accurately determine product origin and FTA eligibility by reviewing supply chains, documentation, and rules of origin before declarations are made. This allows you to reduce duties, stay compliant, and avoid costly errors tied to incorrect FTA claims.

Origin Analysis Based on Your Supply Chain

FTA qualification isn’t theoretical. It depends on how your products are actually made.
We review key inputs such as:

  • Bills of Materials
  • Cost structures
  • Supplier sourcing and country inputs
  • Manufacturing and assembly processes

Using this information, we help determine the correct origin based on the applicable FTA rules and your real supply chain.

FTA Documentation & Supplier Verification

FTA eligibility depends on proper documentation, not assumptions.
We assist by:

  • Identifying required origin and compliance documents
  • Supporting supplier document solicitation where needed
  • Reviewing certificates and declarations for accuracy
  • Flagging incomplete or non-compliant documentation

This helps ensure your FTA claims can stand up to customs review.

Origin Determination for Marking Purposes

Correct country-of-origin marking is a legal requirement and often overlooked.
We help you:

  • Interpret country-specific marking rules
  • Declare the correct origin on products and packaging
  • Avoid mislabeling that can trigger penalties or customer disputes

Getting marking wrong can cost more than duties. We help you avoid that risk.

Why This Matters

Incorrect origin determination can lead to:

  • Lost duty savings
  • Customs audits and penalties
  • Shipment delays or holds
  • Rejected FTA claims
  • Damage to customer and partner trust

With the right verification and documentation in place, FTAs become a real advantage instead of a liability.
