Reminder to the Trade: Rules of Origin

Rules of origin (ROO) are laws, regulations, and procedures used for ascertaining the country of origin of imported products. ROO are important for assessing tariffs, enforcing U.S. trade laws, establishing eligibility for trade preference programs and free trade agreements (FTAs), and more. ROO may be a policy tool to shape global supply chains, incentivize manufacturing in certain countries, and address issues such as tariff evasion. Historically, Congress has created ROO for specific products and trade preference programs as well as shaped ROO in FTAs through consultation with the executive branch and approved those ROOs through implementing legislation.
