How It Works
Qualify a product in six clear steps
Getting Started
Upload your bill of materials or enter it manually. Our structured form catches missing HS codes, incomplete origin data, and blank cost fields before they become problems downstream. If you've got a BOM in a spreadsheet, you're 30 seconds from a qualification run.
Enter or Upload Your Bill of Materials
Paste a spreadsheet, upload a CSV, or enter components one at a time. Each input line captures the HS code, country of origin, cost, and weight for every component in your finished good. The form flags inconsistencies as you go — missing codes, ambiguous origins, values that don't add up — so the data is clean before the engine runs.
No special formatting required. If your BOM exists in any structured form, the tool accepts it.
Classify Each Component
Every component is checked against the product-specific rules tied to your finished good's HS classification. The tool identifies which components are originating, which are non-originating, and flags any that require a deeper look.
This is the step where most spreadsheet-based approaches break down. Component-level origin determinations require checking multiple rule sets simultaneously — the engine handles that automatically.
Product-Specific Rules Are Applied Automatically
The engine checks your finished good against the maintained USMCA rules database — tariff shift requirements, regional value content thresholds, and product-specific rules of origin for your specific HS code. You don't need to open Annex 4-B or the General Notes. The engine knows which rule applies and applies it.
If the rules change, the engine updates. Your next qualification run reflects current requirements, not last year's appendix.
RVC Is Calculated Under Both Methods
The tool computes regional value content under both the transaction value method and the net cost method simultaneously. You don't pick one and hope — you see both results side by side with the specific components that drove each number.
Every calculation is traceable. Click any percentage and see exactly which components contributed and how. When an auditor asks how you arrived at 62% RVC, the answer is in the tool, not in your memory.
Get a Clear, Defensible Answer
The engine returns a binary answer — qualifies or doesn't qualify — backed by the specific rule that decided the outcome and a plain-English rationale you can hand directly to a broker, compliance officer, or customs auditor.
