If your goods meet the USMCA rules of origin, they remain duty-free—but this benefit is not automatic.

Importers must claim preferential treatment based on a certification of origin to avoid tariffs.
Goods that do not meet the rules of origin will not qualify for tariff-free entry.
Products with high amounts of materials from outside North America may not qualify for duty-free status.
- Businesses may need to explore alternative sourcing and increase North American content to benefit to qualify for exemption from tariffs.
