FTA Savings Only Matter When the Claim Is Actually Supportable
uCustoms helps importers assess origin, understand documentation requirements, and build cleaner processes for making preferential tariff claims.
What Is Free Trade Agreement Guidance?
Free trade agreement guidance helps importers understand whether goods qualify for preferential tariff treatment and what documentation is needed to support the claim.
Eligibility is not based on supplier location alone. It depends on origin rules, production details, supporting documentation, and how the claim is made at import time.
uCustoms helps importers build a more reliable process around FTA usage so claimed savings are supportable when reviewed later.
Frequently Asked Questions About Free Trade Agreement Guidance
What is a free trade agreement claim?

Yes. We can help review the agreements most relevant to your sourcing profile.
