USMCA – BINDING RULINGS

U.S.  Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issues binding advance rulings and
other legal decisions in connection with the importation of merchandise into the
United States. Advance rulings provide the international trade community with a
transparent and efficient means of understanding how CBP will treat a
prospective import or carrier transaction.  Rulings relating to U.S. – Mexico –
Canada Agreement (USMCA) preferential treatment claims have begun to be issued,
and can be accessed via the Customs Online Rulings Search System (CROSS). 

Additional information on how to seek a binding advance ruling is available on
CBP.gov at  https://www.cbp.gov/trade/rulings

Rulings relating to USMCA preferential treatment claims can be found on CROSS.
