This week, the US Customs broke the new rule of "Rocket"! The fully upgraded origin verification system on April 15th is like a deadly move on the international trade chessboard.

Under the storm of the US China tariff war, many import and export enterprises have suffered greatly and are trying to find a way out through transit trade, studying rules of origin one after another.
This regulatory storm under the guise of 'compliance' is pushing transit trade into the eye of the storm


How US Customs' Encirclement 'Transit Trade


This system upgrade is not just a technical iteration, but a precise combination of punches to combat transit trade. The core weapons include:


Three core documents
1. Production process diagram: Enterprises are required to display the entire production process like X-rays
2. Raw material procurement voucher: The supply chain must be able to trace back to the "raw material birth certificate"
3. Energy consumption data table: Restoring the actual production capacity of the factory using electricity flow records

Five key countries with zero tolerance

Popular transit destinations such as Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Mexico are facing "triple" regulation:

1.100% unpacking inspection rate to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of the origin information of the goods. Clearance time may be extended by 3-5 times

2.300% punitive tariff, allowing the cost of violations to surpass the sky


The 2010 profit recovery and account freeze can be regarded as a "death sentence" for enterprises


What is even more alarming is that the ongoing "Protect American Industries and Labor Act" will include criminal accountability in the law - evading tariffs in the future may face imprisonment! This has gone beyond the scope of economic sanctions and escalated into a strategic trade confrontation.


How can foreign trade enterprises prevent lightning strikes

EPP suggests that all bosses temporarily suspend all shipments to the United States through third countries and focus on verifying:

Can the certificate of origin withstand microscopic inspection?
Is there a "temperature difference in ." .commercial invoices and customs declarations?
Can the logistics trajectory provide a complete digital evidence chain?

This regulatory upgrade is not an isolated event, but the tip of the iceberg in the global supply chain restructuring.


The data reveals a surprising trend: the volume of goods transshipped through Southeast Asia to the United States in 2023 has surged by 47% year-on-year, and this new regulation is like a precision guided strike. It is recommended that companies include compliance costs in their strategic budgets, as in the new Cold War era of trade, "compliance" has become the most precious passport.
