While there will be some discussion around rules of origin, the focus of the presentation will be geared more towards understanding the various tools that CBP (and other government agencies) are using to review and challenge inaccurate country of origin determinations, whether in the form of CBP Form 28’s, Audits, EAPA or other types of investigations/proceedings.
