Prove where your products come from and pay the lower EU tariff

Origin matrix per product, calculated from the bill of materials and purchase invoices, with an evidence dossier for the EU–Mercosur tariff and US requests.

01The problem

With the EU–Mercosur agreement provisionally applied since 1 May 2026, the lower tariff depends on proving each product's origin. In the US, Section 232 and Section 301 tariffs require composition and classification documents, and everything comes from bills of materials and purchase invoices nobody has consolidated.

02How we solve it

AI reads the bill of materials (BOM) and inbound invoices; code calculates regional content under each product's rule of origin in the agreement; rules check classification, values and suppliers; the system assembles the origin dossier per product and checks the composition (for example, steel and aluminum content) requested under US tariffs. Origin certification and customs clearance stay with the issuing body and the customs broker.

03How it works

01BOM and invoices02Rule of origin03Checks04Dossier
  1. BOM and invoices

    AI reads the bill of materials and inbound invoices for each exported item.

  2. Rule of origin

    Code calculates regional content under the agreement's rule for each product.

  3. Checks

    Rules check classification, values and suppliers, and flag exceptions.

  4. Dossier

    Each product gets its origin dossier, ready for the issuing body and the importer.

The highlighted step is the check: anything that fails the rules goes back for review instead of moving on.

04What changes in practice

  • Lower EU tariff. Origin proven product by product, with the calculation documented.

  • US requests answered. Composition and classification data ready when the importer asks.

  • Always current. The matrix updates when a supplier or a price changes.

05What you get

  • Origin matrix per product
  • Evidence dossier (BOM, invoices and calculation)
  • Update routine when a supplier or price changes
  • Exception dashboard

What we measure

  • items with proven origin
  • time per dossier
  • estimated tariff saved

Metrics are agreed before we start. With the numbers in hand, you decide whether to move to production.

09Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to document product origin under the EU–Mercosur agreement?

Every project is quoted after a free assessment, based on scope, volume and the systems involved. You get a fixed-price proposal in writing before any work starts.

How long does it take to prove origin for an export catalog?

The pilot takes 3 to 5 weeks. Typical scope: 20 to 50 exported items.

Do you issue the certificate of origin?

No. We calculate and document each product's origin; issuance stays with the authorized body (such as the state industry federation) and clearance with your customs broker.

Which products have the most to gain?

Those with a relevant EU import tariff and many purchased components, such as machinery, motors, compressors, fasteners and furniture. The pilot estimates the tariff saved per item.
