AIAG is on track to kick off its new USMCA training course in August and has created a new webpage and webcast to provide key information for those interested in learning more.

The course is designed to help auto industry professionals get up to speed on the major changes they must navigate as part of the United States Mexico Canada Agreement. The USMCA replaces NAFTA and took effect July 1, 2020. The changes include new country of origin rules and what’s required for duty-free treatment under USMCA, new labor value content requirements, and redefined categories for automotive parts.

The new training was developed by OEM, supplier, and free trade agreement experts with support from AIAG resources. It is an in-depth and comprehensive education designed specifically for automotive trade compliance practitioners and working managers. The training is 2 consecutive days and will be offered in an interactive, virtual setting. It includes:

  • An in-depth review of the new rules of origin, complete with industry-relevant examples.
  • An in-depth review of the Core, Principal, and Complementary Tables for Passenger Vehicles, Light and Heavy Trucks, how and when to use the tables, and how to calculate regional value content.
  • A step-by-step qualification processes to qualify your good(s) as eligible.
  • An in-depth review of specific terms, complete with examples.
  • Origin Certification, including required data elements and an industry-developed solicitation template.
  • A copy of the AIAG Supplier Content Reporting Requirements Workbook, which serves as a handy future reference and includes detailed qualification examples.
