As TCEPro 2026 advances into Module 6, the focus shifts to enforcement, audit exposure, and real-world case practice under the USMCA. This module examines how USMCA rules are applied in practice. From origin verification and documentation to audits, penalties, and dispute resolution, in an increasingly enforcement-driven environment.
This module provides an execution-focused view of USMCA compliance, helping organizations understand how authorities assess origin, documentation, and eligibility, and how companies must respond to challenges, denials, and retroactive assessments to protect market access and mitigate risk.
Participants will explore:
- USMCA enforcement architecture: roles of CBP, CBSA, SAT, and interagency bodies
- Origin certification, documentation, and recordkeeping requirements
- Verification procedures, audits, and information requests under USMCA
- Managing substantial transformation challenges in enforcement scenarios
- Country-of-origin marking, labeling, and penalty exposure
- Responding to CBP origin challenges, CF-28s, and requests for information
- Handling denials of preferential treatment and retroactive duty assessments
- Dispute resolution mechanisms and automotive case practice under USMCA
- Data governance, technology, and AI for USMCA compliance and audit readiness
