Businesses face complex regulatory challenges as products are increasingly sourced abroad or, if produced domestically, are comprised of materials and components from multiple countries. Correctly assessing the origin of a product not only ensures compliant entry of products into the U.S. under customs rules, but it is also critical to qualifying products for duty-free entry under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) and avoiding punitive tariffs, to establishing eligibility to participate in public procurements subject to domestic preference rules, and to advertising products as "Made-in-USA." 

This session addresses ways to help the practitioner sort through the often—inconsistent rules applied under multiple laws by various federal agencies when determining the origin of a product, and provides an update on recent changes to these rules and their application.
