USMCA Compliance

Maximize Savings. Simplify Trade. Stay Competitive.

At CaliBaja, we specialize in contract manufacturing solutions that are fully compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Partnering with a USMCA-compliant manufacturer means unlocking powerful advantages—from reduced tariffs to streamlined cross-border logistics. Whether you’re reshoring your operations or expanding into North America for the first time, we make the process seamless, cost-effective, and fully aligned with today’s trade realities.

What It Takes to Be USMCA Compliant

To qualify for USMCA benefits, manufacturers must meet specific rules of origin, ensuring a significant percentage of a product’s content is sourced or manufactured within North America. CaliBaja ensures strict compliance through:

  • Detailed origin tracking and documentation

  • Materials sourcing within USMCA regions

  • Adherence to labor value content (LVC) requirements

  • In-house regulatory expertise and compliance audits

Our team handles the complexities so you don’t have to. We ensure every shipment you receive is fully documented and compliant—maximizing your benefits and minimizing your exposure to international tariffs.

Why USMCA Compliance Matters

The USMCA, which replaced NAFTA, is designed to modernize trade across North America. Manufacturers that meet its origin requirements can qualify for duty-free import and export, dramatically reducing landed costs for U.S. and Canadian companies working with Mexican manufacturing partners.

Benefits of USMCA compliance include:

  • Zero Tariffs on qualifying goods across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada

  • Simplified Customs Procedures and faster cross-border clearance

  • Strengthened Supply Chains closer to your end markets

  • Enhanced Protections for intellectual property and investment

Save Big on Tariffs and Import Costs

Choosing a USMCA-compliant partner like CaliBaja can dramatically reduce the cost of doing business. For companies currently paying high tariffs on goods manufactured in non-compliant countries (like China), the savings can be substantial.

Here’s how you save:

  • 0% duty rates on qualified goods instead of tariffs ranging from 5–25% on many imports from Asia

  • Lower logistics costs due to proximity and infrastructure connectivity

  • Avoidance of Section 301 tariffs on goods from China

  • No need for complex trade workaround strategies

With CaliBaja, you’re not just manufacturing—you’re building in a way that’s financially smarter and strategically future-proof.

Ready to Move Your Manufacturing from China to Mexico?

If you’re currently manufacturing in China, now is the time to rethink your supply chain. Rising labor costs, shipping delays, geopolitical instability, and tariffs have made Chinese manufacturing less attractive—and less reliable—than ever.

CaliBaja simplifies the transition from China to Mexico with a proven, step-by-step approach:

  1. Initial Assessment: We analyze your current manufacturing setup and identify opportunities for cost reduction and compliance.

  2. Custom Transition Plan: Our team handles site selection, workforce recruitment, and equipment transfers.

  3. Turnkey Setup: From permits to production, we manage every detail so your team can stay focused on business growth.

  4. Ongoing Support: Benefit from bilingual staff, robust infrastructure, and North American time zones for real-time coordination.

The result? You’ll enjoy shorter lead times, lower transportation costs, and duty-free access to U.S. and Canadian markets—all while keeping quality and operational control.
