Origin Verifier is an AI worker that autonomously qualifies products for Free Trade Agreement benefits.
It decomposes BOMs, calculates RVC thresholds, solicits vendor affidavits, and generates Certificates of Origin-reducing compliance cycles from 7 days to 1.5 days while cutting governance costs 40-60%.
What is Origin Verifier?
- FTA Qualification Engine. Many companies utilize less than 50% of available FTAs due to operational complexity. This agent navigates Rules of Origin for USMCA, EU-UK TCA, and RCEP-decomposing multi-level BOMs to trace every screw, chemical, and sub-assembly. Automates the entire qualification lifecycle.
- Mathematical Precision. Performs "Tariff Shift" analysis and "De Minimis" calculations instantly. Executes Regional Value Content (RVC) thresholds using Transaction Value or Net Cost methods. Updates logic engine continuously with HS code revisions and treaty amendments.
- Supplier Solicitation. Initiates automated multi-channel campaigns to gather Long-Term Vendor Declarations (LTVDs) and affidavits. Uses NLP to validate documents, flag missing signatures, and track non-responsive vendors. Reduces supplier management effort by up to 80%.
- Compliance Firewall. Generates Certificates of Origin only when all data points are validated. Creates "Reasoning Packages" with BOM snapshots, applicable rules, calculation logic, and vendor affidavits-protecting against False Claims Act violations.
Replaces:
- Line-by-line BOM spreadsheet reviews for tariff shift analysis.
- Manual vendor chasing for affidavits with automated tracking campaigns.
- Fragile Excel RVC formulas with dynamic calculation engines.
- Manual cross-referencing against hundreds of FTA legal text pages.
- Post-audit scrambles with real-time transaction-level logging.

Why Origin Verifier?
- Maximize Duty Savings. Ensures 100% FTA utilization. Optimizing origin management reduces governance and compliance costs by 40% to 60% while unlocking millions in duty drawbacks and exemptions.
- Mitigate Non-Compliance Risk. Global trade compliance fines surged to $4.6 billion in 2024. Every Certificate of Origin is backed by defensible digital audit trails validating specific rules like "Change in Tariff Classification."
- Accelerate Supply Chain Velocity. Reduces compliance processing times from 7 days to 1.5 days. Documentation moves as fast as physical cargo, preventing border delays.
- Automate Supplier Collaboration. Tracks which suppliers have responded vs. non-compliant. AI interprets incoming affidavits automatically, reducing manual supplier management by up to 80%.
How It Works
Workflow Automation
How Origin Verifier integrates with your systems
Receives product data via webhook, pulls BOM and sourcing records, applies AI origin rules and value-added calculations, generates a Certificate of Origin, and sends it to the customs broker.
- BOM Ingestion and Classification. Ingests Bill of Materials from ERP. Maps components to HS codes; suggests missing codes based on part descriptions.
- Rule of Origin Application. Selects relevant FTA and retrieves Product Specific Rule (PSR). Determines qualification method: Tariff Shift, RVC, or processing requirement.
- Supplier Solicitation. Triggers automated requests for unknown origins. Calculates qualifying value using "Intermediate Materials" and "Accumulation" clauses.
- Certificate Generation. Generates official COO when eligibility confirmed. Compiles immutable "Reasoning Package" for audit defense.
