Summary
This episode of Global Trade with Fexingo digs into the surprisingly consequential rules of origin — the fine print that decides whether a car made with Chinese batteries and Mexican assembly qualifies for tariff-free entry into the US. Lucas and Luna walk through the specific case of USMCA auto rules, where 75 percent regional value content reshaped supply chains from Detroit to Monterrey. They explore why these rules matter more than headline tariff rates for multinational companies, how electronics and pharmaceuticals face their own origin tests, and why the World Trade Organization hasn't harmonized any of it. If you've ever wondered why a 'Made in Vietnam' label might actually mean 60 percent Chinese inputs, this episode explains the regulations behind the sticker. #RulesOfOrigin #USMCA #SupplyChains #WTO #Tariffs #GlobalTrade #TradePolicy #Manufacturing #Electronics #Pharmaceuticals #RegionalValueContent #FTA #Monterrey #Detroit #TradeCompliance #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
