FAQs for Other Trade Agreements
Regilient supports multi-agreement origin management including CETA (EU-Canada), CPTPP (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership), UKTCA (UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement), ASEAN FTAs, and various bilateral trade agreements. Each agreement's rules of origin, certificate formats, and RVC thresholds are pre-configured in the platform, allowing teams to manage multiple FTAs from a single interface.
Yes. Each FTA has its own product-specific rules of origin that may include tariff shift requirements, Regional Value Content thresholds, wholly obtained criteria, or a combination. For example, CETA uses different origin criteria than CPTPP for the same product category. Regilient pre-configures these rules per agreement so validation is automatic and consistent.
Regilient centralizes supplier data, cost breakdowns, and origin declarations in one platform. When you validate a product's origin against one FTA, the same underlying data can be reused for other applicable agreements. Certificate templates are FTA-specific, but the data collection and approval workflow is unified, eliminating redundant supplier outreach.
FTA rule changes can alter RVC thresholds, add new product-specific origin requirements, or change certificate formats. Regilient advisory services provide quarterly FTA updates, rule migration support, and recalculation audits. Change notifications alert compliance teams to review and update affected product classifications.
Yes. Regilient generates audit-ready reports that include supplier declarations, RVC calculations, tariff shift validations, certificate histories, and approval logs. All evidence is versioned and timestamped, providing a complete trail for customs authorities reviewing your preferential trade claims.
Implementation typically runs 4 to 6 weeks, covering FTA rule configuration, certificate templates, supplier data onboarding, and ERP/TMS integration. Managed services provide ongoing support with an SLA of new certificate issuance within 5 business days.
