Duties, Trade Agreements and Origin

You follow one order of 24,000 hooded sweatshirts past the FOB to the buyer's landed cost. You build the customs value line by line. You find the tariff heading a fit comment moved. And you look at the mid-season fabric substitution that saved the factory USD 5,572.80 and cost the buyer USD 25,683.84 of duty.

Course value

What will you be able to do?

Work outcome

You can build a defensible cost sheet for a real style and know, for every line on it, where the number came from and what happens to your margin if it is wrong.

Who it is for

Factory and supplier teams.

What you will produce

You build a one-page origin file for one purchase order. You quote the agreement's product-specific rule in its own words. You list every fabric mill with its supplier declaration. You lay out the production trail tying fabric lot to shipment. You attach the authorised proof of origin. And you build a customs value up from your own FOB.
