Braumiller Law Group Mexico Legal Counsel Brenda Cordova and Francisco De La Cruz will conduct an ICPA webinar on Origin Verification Audits on NAFTA and USMCA conducted by MX Customs.

Customs authorities from the US, CA and MX continue implementing origin verification audits to goods imported into the NAFTA region with preferential treatment based on a NAFTA certificate of origin. They are permitted to go back five years in the records, which means that even though NAFTA expired on June 30, 2020, customs has until June 30, 2025 to audit those files.

In addition, they have started auditing origin of the goods under the USMCA.

The information to be presented includes guidance on how to prepare your company for a NAFTA or USMCA origin audit from MX Customs. Also, we will review MX proceedings and legal remedies available to challenge an unfavorable NAFTA or USMCA origin denial determination.

Senior Counsel Bruce Leeds will be speaking at the ICPA ITAR conference in Ft. Worth, TX.
