Country of Origin Assessment for Production Relocation
The key question this service answers is where production should be located to reduce duty exposure, improve FTA eligibility, and avoid origin-related surprises - before you commit capital.
Global trade rules are getting stricter and preferential agreements are more complex. Many relocation plans fail because origin outcomes don't change as expected.
In practice, this means: we map your current origin logic, model relocation scenarios across Southeast Asia, and show what would need to change for a valid origin shift, including documentation considerations and risk.
You receive a clear comparison of scenarios, risks, and recommended next steps, not just theory.
Key question: Based on our products and target markets, which relocation scenario gives the best trade and duty outcome, and what would it take to make it valid?
Why Relocations Fail for Many Companies
Companies often move production from China to another Asian country but later discover serious problems:
Relocating production without proper origin analysis is a high-risk decision that can undermine the entire business case for moving.
What This Origin Assessment Actually Is
This is a scenario-based origin and trade assessment. We review your product and process data, then compare relocation scenarios across Southeast Asia to understand duty exposure, FTA eligibility, and what changes would be required.
