Navigating CUSMA: Tariffs, Tax Remission, Origin Rules and How to Strengthen Your Compliance


Join us for a half-day, in-person workshop designed for B.C. exporters. This timely session will help you better understand and apply CUSMA trade rules, including tariffs, tax remission programs, and origin documentation.

Learn directly from a customs lawyer and a licensed customs broker, and gain real-world insights on managing North American trade.Through interactive presentations and practical examples, you’ll walk away with the tools to improve compliance, reduce trade-related risks, and enhance competitiveness.

Who Should Attend:

  • Export-ready SMEs across all sectors
  • Trade professionals and logistics managers
  • Business owners and advisors navigating cross-border trade

Why CUSMA Compliance Matters:

CUSMA, the trilateral trade agreement between Canada, the U.S., and Mexico, replaced NAFTA and brought new compliance requirements for exporters. Staying up to date is key to maintaining access to preferential treatment and avoiding costly penalties.

Proper compliance helps you:

  • Avoid costly tariffs and penalties
  • Qualify for duty-free treatment
  • Ensure smooth customs clearance
  • Maintain trust and competitiveness with U.S. partners

This workshop is your opportunity to stay ahead of regulatory changes and protect your bottom line.
