Los Angeles, California<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As companies continue to deal with supply chain logistics disruptions caused by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, they must now adjust to the latest international trade agreement: the United States Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA). USMCA went into effect July 1 and is impacting an already-challenged supply chain logistics environment. At Westset Logistics and Distribution our team of logistics and transportation specialists are here to help your company navigate the free trade agreement\u2019s rules and regulations. If you engage in cross-border trade at any point in your company\u2019s supply chain, we can help you with compliance, documentation, and navigating this new international agreement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

USMCA<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

USMCA replaces the North American Free Trade Agreement, which is more than 26-years-old. Its \u201crules of origin\u201d requirement raises the amount of content that must be made or sourced in North America in order to achieve zero-tariff levels for certain situations. USMCA also incorporates new and updated sections on topics such as intellectual property rights, enforcement, digital trade, and labor rights based on the original NAFTA. The agreement addresses many existing cross-border issues and red tape. The agreement also emphasizes the need for uniform treatment of imports across ports and border crossings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business-To-Business (B2B)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The growth in sales provided by USMCA favors domestic business-to-business (B2B). However, one of the challenges that come with open access to new markets is a requirement for integrated shipping and storage solutions. Westset Logistics fulfills the B2B requirements for warehousing and distribution across a variety of business sectors including industrial, consumer goods, dry food, non-perishable items, government, and some military items. Lack of proper and accurate regulatory information is one of the biggest hindrances to cross border trade. USMCA provides guidelines to provide easy, free, and online access to the country\u2019s regulations, trade procedures, laws, duties, various charges, and documentation requirements. Westset Logistics works within these guidelines to streamline compliance, documentation processing, and overall supply chain efficiency and security. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

eCommerce<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The customs and trade facilitation provisions of the USMCA is\naimed at greatly reducing the costs and bringing ease and predictability into\ncross border transactions, thus enabling the flow of millions of eCommerce\nshipments. Though the changes may seem nuanced, once understood, the ease of\ndoing business and increasing the de-minimis values will make it easier for\nmore businesses, especially small- and medium-sized ones, to be a part of\ncross-border trade. Westset Logistics will work diligently with eCommerce\nbusinesses ready to enjoy the opportunities of this new trade agreement,\ncustomizing our services to your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COVID-19<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

COVID-19\u2019s global disruption of manufacturing operations and\nsupply lines has created uncertainty as to whether businesses are prepared to\nmeet USMCA\u2019s requirements. Additionally, labor shortages due to\nCOVID-19-related illness, shelter in place orders, and related business\nclosures have forced many companies to suspend work or move online. Although\nthe COVID-19 containment measures have negatively impacted trade across the\nregion and each of the USMCA countries are now in recession, business confidence\nremains high. The importance of maintaining stable cross-border supply chains\nhas been underlined by various agreements and declarations and despite the\nCOVID-19 pandemic, the US has moved forward on several fronts to advance its\ntrade policy objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The enactment of USMCA is an excellent opportunity for companies to expand their foray from North America into the international market. As Southern California\u2019s Class A 3PL, Westset Logistics can help you go global by providing excellence in storage and materials handling for all industrial and consumer products.
