Intricacies of CO Determination

The Drinker Biddle Customs & International Trade Team continued its series of webinar presentations that focus on key trade issues impacting the movement of goods across international boundaries.

Chicago partner Randy Rucker presented the seventh webinar titled, “Intricacies of CO Determination.”

This webinar discussed the various country of origin rules that impact companies, including those imposed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Federal Trade Commission, and other government agencies. The discussion focused on the distinct differences in determining origin depending on the reasons, including qualification for duty preference programs, desired use of “Made in USA,” imports of foreign merchandise, or sales to the U.S. Government.
