Customs — Country of Origin & USMCA Qualification
The parent decision-tree maps branching qualification logic. Origin/preference is a decision tree: wholly obtained? → tariff-shift met? → RVC threshold met? → de minimis? Each branch leads to duty-free, MFN, or special treatment.

How it works
Walk the branches: - Wholly obtained/produced entirely in territory? → originates. - Else: does each non-originating input meet the product-specific rule (tariff shift)? - If not by shift: is Regional Value Content (transaction-value or net-cost) met? - De minimis allowance for small non-originating value? - Confirm certification of origin support + marking rules (substantial transformation for marking).
When to use it
- determining country of origin
- testing USMCA (or other FTA) preference eligibility
- 'does this qualify for duty-free?'
- goods with multi-country inputs
When not to use it
wholly-obtained single-country goods with no preference question.
