USMCA review ties rules of origin, regional value content, the scheduled joint review, and CBP verification to the products an importer claims preference on.
This page is the public entry point. It explains the issue, links to the public tools that surface the primary records, and routes repeat work into review.
Use this when the first question is which rule of origin applies to the HTS line.
Use this when preference depends on the content method and threshold.
Use this when the risk is a verification, the joint review, or a documentation gap.
A USMCA preference claim that fails verification turns into duties owed plus exposure, so the operational question is whether each claim still meets origin. Importers need to know when a rule or review touches a product they claim on.
Traverse keeps each USMCA record tied to the applicable rule of origin, content method, and primary record, so preference eligibility stays connected to the source.
Track rules-of-origin determinations, regional value content thresholds, the scheduled joint review, automotive labor-value-content rules, CBP verifications, and any change that affects a preference claim.
Preference depends on meeting the specific rule of origin for the HTS line, the regional value content method, and the documentation. A failed claim means duties owed, so eligibility is the question, not the label.
Review it when the same product, bill of materials, or supplier keeps claiming preference, so a rule change or verification risk is caught before entry.

Canada's 2023 Online Streaming Act requires foreign streaming platforms earning over C$25M in Canadian revenues to contribute a percentage to Canadian content funds, with the CRTC raising the levy to 15% in May 2026 before the Canadian government ordered a review. USTR has flagged the act as a services trade barrier, and H.R. 8025 would direct a Section 301 investigation that could trigger tariffs on Canadian goods.
The United States and Mexico convened their third bilateral negotiating round in Mexico City as part of the mandatory USMCA Joint Review process. Outcomes of this review can alter tariff schedules, rules of origin, and other trade obligations across the agreement.
