The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), or "NAFTA 2.0," is the result of a 2017–2018 renegotiation of NAFTA by its member states, which formally agreed to the terms on October 1^st, 2019.  Negotiations focused largely on auto exports, steel and aluminum tariffs, and the dairy, egg, and poultry markets.  It is a modernized update to NAFTA that also contains new elements regarding labor and the environment.

Many of the rules of origin within the USMCA are similar to those under NAFTA, yet even when it was in force over the last 20 years or so, importers and exporters misapplied the rules, or failed to take advantage of the benefits of the treaty.  We will review the rules, point out the new elements, and discuss ways to manage an effective USMCA import/export program.

As COVID-19 continues to disrupt supply chains, Expeditors' Domestic Regional Managers, Directors of Domestic for the Americas and Global Domestic Leaders will provide market updates from an operational point of view and options available. 

Topics to be discussed:

• Intro to the new USMCA agreement
• What’s changing from NAFTA
• Potential impacts for the three countries
• The USMCA Certification of Origin requirements (as compared to the NAFTA Certificate of Origin)
• High level review of changes in key vertical sectors
• Implementation information for the three countries
• Actions customers can take now
• Government resourcesHow Expeditors can assist

During this free event you will have the opportunity to hear directly from our teams in Shanghai & Hong Kong. We will be discussing both market and customs changes seen post COVID-19 in the North Asian region. Our logistics experts will also provide insight to the current air and ocean market, and will supplement with an overview of the Expeditors network within China.
