We are pleased to announce that DTL President Jennifer Diaz was recently featured in Inside U.S. Trade!
In the article, “New Transshipment Limits Could Bring Confusion, Enforcement Hurdles,” reporter Brett Fortnam walks through how the Administration’s new approach to combatting transshipment includes goods with significant content from third countries in addition to traditional transshipment. He quoted Jennifer on how this approach is likely to cause confusion up and down the supply chain.
Below are a few snippets from the piece. Read the full article on InsideTrade.com here.
“Diaz said a new approach to transshipment will sow confusion up and down the supply chain. Changing what confers a product’s country of origin ‘adds another pillar of complexity’ to already complicated rules of origin, Diaz said.”
“If I were CBP, I would have a hard time understanding what kind of documentation and proof will be necessary,” Diaz said of the new policy. “Are we going to have the ability to audit raw material for every item? We all need a framework to start with. Now we’re all subject to audit risk, penalties and criminality. We need a good framework to ensure that everyone has the ability to comply.”
Diaz Trade Law is tracking the latest updates to U.S. trade policy.
