?? Just because USMCA-eligible goods are now exempt from the additional tariffs on Canadian and Mexican products doesn’t mean everything qualifies for USMCA! ?? With the recent tariff changes, it's tempting to start issuing USMCA certificates for all cross-border shipments—but be careful! Claiming preferential treatment without verifying that your goods actually qualify could lead to compliance risks, audits, and penalties. USMCA has strict rules of origin, and not all products meet the requirements. If you're unsure whether your goods qualify, we can help. Magnolia Global Trade Solutions specializes in determining USMCA eligibility, so you can take advantage of duty savings while staying compliant. ?? Reach out if you need support in properly certifying your goods! #USMCA #Tariffs #TradeCompliance #SupplyChain #GlobalTrade
