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.
