I was told Customs will issue Country of Origin Rulings to importers and that I should contact a Licensed Customs Broker to prepare it on the company’s behalf. Is having a Country of Origin Ruling by Customs a requirement? What are the advantages…disadvantages

I would like to know how other companies have put a “best in practice” country of management system in place.

The Brazilian Consulate in Vietnam is taking up to 3 weeks to legalize the COO and will not so do until shipping docs are presented. This is a problem […]
Does anyone have any advice with respect to certificate of origin issues that arise from the transshipment of goods? My company produces an agriculture product that maintains its classification and origin whether packaged or not. We often import the product in bulk, package it in the states and then export it to more than one […]
I have never submitted a country of origin ruling request to customs. Any advice? My question will be – we buy bulk rolls of stamping foil an import. We then cut to size for our customer’s machines. Is that substantial transformation? Does the country of origin change? Should the tariff number change?
