International trade agreements such as CUSMA, CETA, and CUKTCA grant substantial tariff preferences, yet claiming these benefits requires rigorous proof of origin.

Students examine the Canada Border Services Agency's enforcement strategies, targeting verification priorities across industrial machinery, chemical derivatives, and automotive components. Through comprehensive case studies and authentic audit simulations, participants learn how to build indefensible audit trails and draft accurate origin certifications that withstand regulatory scrutiny.
