customs-origin-usmca-decision

customs-origin-usmca-decision is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from deciqAI/knowledge-skills. It costs 79 tokens per session (738 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A decision tree for determining where goods legally come from and whether they qualify for duty-free treatment under USMCA, the United States–Mexico–Canada trade agreement, or another free-trade agreement.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps assess origin, product marking, tariff-shift rules, regional value content, small-value allowances, and the supporting certification.
Why use it?
It helps replace guesswork with a documented sequence of tests for goods made with inputs from more than one country.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

customs-origin-usmca-decision scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Customs — Country of Origin & USMCA Qualification

Industry front door for decision-tree. Adds domain triggers, example, packs only. Parent Process unchanged. Not legal advice. Origin is rule-specific; verify against the current USMCA text and CBP guidance.

Activate when: determining country of origin; testing USMCA (or other FTA) preference eligibility; marking; "does this qualify for duty-free?"; goods with multi-country inputs. Do NOT activate when: wholly-obtained single-country goods with no preference question.

Why this variant

The parent decision-tree maps branching qualification logic. Origin/preference is a decision tree: wholly obtained? → tariff-shift met? → RVC threshold met? → de minimis? Each branch leads to duty-free, MFN, or special treatment.

Domain inputs → parent's Process

Walk the branches:

  • Wholly obtained/produced entirely in territory? → originates.
  • Else: does each non-originating input meet the product-specific rule (tariff shift)?
  • If not by shift: is Regional Value Content (transaction-value or net-cost) met?
  • De minimis allowance for small non-originating value?
  • Confirm certification of origin support + marking rules (substantial transformation for marking).

Worked example

Assembly in Mexico using Chinese components. → Tree: check the PSR — do the Chinese inputs make the required tariff shift on assembly? If yes → USMCA-eligible with a valid certification; if no → test RVC/de minimis. Fails all → MFN duty + China Section 301 exposure. Document the path.

Compliance anchors

  • USMCA product-specific rules, RVC, de minimis; certification of origin recordkeeping; marking (19 CFR 134).

Packs

  • Solo broker: origin worksheet per product/BOM.
  • Brokerage: supplier solicitation for origin certs; PSR library.

Red flags

  • Claiming preference without the PSR/RVC actually met.
  • Confusing marking origin with preference origin.
  • No supporting certification retained.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
