Overview
Walk through regional value content thresholds, cumulation, and documentation checkpoints exporters actually see at customs. You will compare HS chapters, trace bill-of-materials assumptions, and draft origin questionnaires aligned to factory reality—not textbook abstractions.
What is included
- HS mapping lab with three ASEAN manufacturing profiles
- Cumulation scenarios for Malaysia–Thailand–Viet Nam chains
- Self-certification vs third-party verification trade-offs
- Checklist for supplier declarations and long-term record retention
- Audit trail templates for origin reviews
- Office hours with a trade economist on ambiguous assemblies
- Downloadable origin decision tree (editable)
Outcomes
- Classify where your SKU likely qualifies under ASEAN-wide rules
- Prepare supplier questionnaires that reduce back-and-forth with logistics
- Spot when a tariff shift narrative is weaker than regional value content

Participant questions
We emphasize cross-border production patterns most common in electronics, textiles, and auto parts. Agriculture-heavy cases appear as short supplements rather than full modules.
No. We provide educational frameworks and document patterns; counsel should review binding filings.
Country-specific legal opinions, broker representation, and on-site factory audits are outside scope.
Experience notes
The HS mapping lab clarified why our Thailand plant qualified while the Malaysia subassembly did not—specifically the regional value content worksheet for chapter 85 parts.
Cumulation walkthrough was dense; worth it for the supplier questionnaire template alone.
