The New Reality of Trade Compliance for Global Manufacturers

Knowing the country of origin of your parts and materials is critical to managing customs compliance and tariffs.

Collecting trade data from your global supply chain is complicated, but Assent’s trade compliance software gives you a complete platform to manage and report on country of origin, Harmonized System (HS) codes, and more.

FAQ: Trade Classification & Origin

Get expert insights on trade compliance, customs compliance, and tariff management for global manufacturers.

How do global tariff changes impact trade compliance programs?

Tariffs and trade agreements frequently change due to geopolitical shifts, trade disputes, and renegotiated agreements. In addition, the Harmonized System is updated every five years, and countries may implement changes at different times. These updates can modify HS codes, tariff rates, or exemption eligibility. A structured trade compliance program ensures classifications and tariff schedules remain current across all products and suppliers.

What is country of origin (COO) in trade compliance?

Country of origin (COO) refers to the country where a product was manufactured or substantially transformed. It determines applicable tariffs, sanctions, and eligibility for trade agreements. COO is defined by Rules of Origin, which evaluate sourcing and manufacturing processes. Accurate origin tracking ensures correct duty assessment and reduces compliance risk.

How do HS and HTS codes affect tariffs and customs audits?

HS (Harmonized System) codes are internationally standardized six-digit product classifications used to determine tariff treatment. Countries like the United States extend them into more detailed Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) codes. Accurate classification impacts tariff rates, free trade agreement eligibility, anti-dumping duties, and regulatory screening. Inconsistent or incorrect codes can trigger audits or customs holds. Maintaining validated classification data reduces duty miscalculations and audit exposure.

What is trade compliance software?

Trade compliance software is a system used to manage the data, documentation, and processes required to move goods across international borders in compliance with customs and trade regulations. It supports HS and HTS classification, COO tracking, product valuation, export control classification (e.g., ECCN), tariff monitoring, and audit-ready record retention. By centralizing and validating trade data, it reduces inconsistencies that can trigger customs reviews or delays.

What records should trade compliance software retain for audits?

A modern trade compliance program should maintain searchable, reportable records including HS/HTS classifications, COO documentation, supplier certifications, product valuation data, export control classifications, and historical tariff determinations. Many customs authorities require multi-year record retention. Consistent documentation enables faster audit response and reduces operational disruption.
