In today's international trade environment, the application of trade agreements is a strategic element within a company's import and export operations. Utilizing certificates of origin grants access to tariff preferences, leading to a reduction in foreign trade duties such as the General Import Tax, Customs Processing Fee, and Value Added Tax, resulting in the following:
- Safe and efficient operations.
- Reduced tariff costs and increased profitability.
- Strong, long-lasting customer relationships.
In response to the need for correct application and management of certificates of origin, Baker Tilly offers specialized advisory through our "Origin System," providing a comprehensive solution geared toward the professional management of certificates of origin. This tool allows for process optimization, ensures the correct integration and protection of information, and strengthens regulatory compliance in every operation. The system is backed by a specialized foreign trade team providing strategic consultancy, guiding your company through the interpretation and application of current international regulations.
The system incorporates two core services designed to strengthen control and information traceability:
- Campaign Management: This service allows companies to conduct "campaigns" where the system effectively requests certificates of origin for materials from suppliers via automated emails. It generates supplier response statistics and improves communication, automating processes while reducing costs and time.
- Origin Calculation and Certificate Issuance: Once all applicable certificates of origin for regional materials are collected, the system performs the necessary calculations to determine if the finished products qualify as originating under the specific treaty requirements.
Upon achieving a result, the system generates the certificate of origin for treaties that allow for self-certification. For treaties requiring government validation, the system provides the necessary data so Baker Tilly experts can manage the application with the corresponding authorities.
The platform guarantees secure data storage and document centralization, among other tools that simplify regulatory compliance and optimize the administration of certificates of origin, combining technology and expertise to mitigate operational risks. With the Origin System, your company transforms regulatory compliance into a competitive advantage, strengthening your position in international markets and ensuring efficient management within an increasingly demanding global environment.
Our specialized team ensures high-quality information is delivered in a timely manner to generate the proper supporting documentation for the certification of produced goods, in accordance with the various treaties signed by Mexico.
