Section 301 Exposure
Calculate USMCA qualification for chemicals and plastics. 62% RVC threshold, chemical reaction rules, and plastic resin origin determination.
Importers and exporters in the chemicals & plastics industry face unique compliance hurdles:
Chemical reaction rules are complex to interpret
Tracing feedstock origins through multiple transformations
Plastic products require resin origin documentation
Regulatory compliance adds to documentation burden
Automated RVC calculation for chemical processes
Track feedstock and resin origins through supply chain
Chemical-specific origin rule interpretation
Generate compliant certificates for chemical shipments
Unable to document resin origins for USMCA qualification
Implemented supply chain tracing, documented 70% RVC
$55,000 annual tariff savings on plastic products
Chemical reaction rules generally grant origin if the chemical reaction (synthesis, decomposition, etc.) occurs in a USMCA country, regardless of where the precursor chemicals originated.
Chemicals and plastics typically require 62% Regional Value Content under USMCA. For plastic products, this includes the value of resin and manufacturing processes.
Yes, for RVC calculation you need to know the origin of plastic resins used in your products. Resins from USMCA countries contribute to your regional content calculation.
