Calculate your Regional Value Content in minutes. Our calculator uses both Transaction Value and Net Cost methods to find your highest RVC and determine USMCA qualification.
Calculate Your RVC FreeNo credit card required. Instant results.
TV = Transaction Value (sale price)
VNM = Value of Non-originating Materials
Best when: You have a clear sale price and want a simpler calculation.
NC = Net Cost (total cost minus sales/marketing)
VNM = Value of Non-originating Materials
Best when: Manufacturing costs are high relative to non-originating materials.
Pro tip: Our calculator runs BOTH methods and shows you the higher RVC. Use whichever method helps you qualify.
Different products have different Regional Value Content requirements
| Industry | RVC Threshold |
|---|---|
| Automotive | 75% |
| Electronics | 65% |
| Medical Devices | 65% |
| Aerospace | 65% |
| Chemicals | 62% |
| Machinery | 60% |
| Textiles | 55% |
| Furniture | 55% |
| Consumer Goods | 55% |
| Agriculture | 50% |
| Component | Origin | Value |
|---|---|---|
| PCB Assembly | China | $150 |
| Microcontroller | USA | $80 |
| Capacitors | Japan | $20 |
| Enclosure | Mexico | $40 |
| Assembly Labor | Mexico | $60 |
| Overhead | Mexico | $50 |
Transaction Value: $500
Non-originating Materials: $150 (PCB) + $20 (Capacitors) = $170
RVC Calculation: (($500 - $170) / $500) × 100 = 66%
✓ QUALIFIES - 66% exceeds the 65% threshold for electronics
Regional Value Content (RVC) is the percentage of a product's value that originates from USMCA countries (USA, Mexico, Canada). Products must meet minimum RVC thresholds (50-75% depending on industry) to qualify for duty-free treatment under USMCA.
RVC can be calculated using two methods: Transaction Value method: RVC = ((Sale Price - Non-originating Materials) / Sale Price) × 100. Net Cost method: RVC = ((Net Cost - Non-originating Materials) / Net Cost) × 100. You can use whichever method gives you a higher RVC.
RVC thresholds vary by industry: Agriculture 50%, Textiles 55%, Furniture 55%, Machinery 60%, Chemicals 62%, Electronics 65%, Medical Devices 65%, and Automotive 75%. Our calculator automatically applies the correct threshold based on your HS code.
Non-originating materials are components, parts, or raw materials that come from countries outside the USMCA region (not USA, Mexico, or Canada). For example, a PCB from China or fabric from Vietnam would be non-originating.
Yes! Even with China-origin components, your finished product can qualify if you add enough regional value through manufacturing, labor, and other USMCA-origin inputs to meet the RVC threshold. This is exactly what our calculator helps you determine.
