With manufacturers spending 50% or
more of revenue on purchasing parts,
sourcing from low cost countries has
become an important business
strategy in the past ten years. The
next level of savings from a
low-cost country sourcing strategy
is in how a company can leverage
trade agreements to reduce landed
costs – specifically duties.
However, there are a number of
complexities and costs associated
with capturing the benefit of trade
agreements. For example, companies
need country of origin tracking,
special program or trade program
indicators, tools to solicit
supplier collaboration, and a means
to ensure regulatory compliance to
prevent fines and delays.
