The United States-Japan Trade Agreement (USJTA) was introduced on January 1, 2020. Nearly 90% of U.S. food and agricultural products imported into Japan are now duty free or receive preferential tariff access. In order to benefit from this preferential access, a good must be an “originating good” (this is a good wholly obtained or produced entirely in the territory of one or both parties) and meet the preferential rules of origin of USJTA. It’s also important to keep in mind that Japanese customs have made some adjustments on the origination process and documentation protocol since the introduction of the trade agreement.
Join us as we review the USJTA rules of origin procedures and the documentary requirements to assist your customer with a duty free or preferential duty customs clearance. These procedures are mandatory and vary only by specific product and rule of origin.
