We provide tailored legal services under WTO and USMCA frameworks to address trade challenges in the automotive and auto parts industries
The automotive sector faces some of the most detailed and stringent trade rules under the WTO and USMCA frameworks. Our practice delivers high-level legal counsel to multinational corporations, industry associations, and governments on issues such as rules of origin compliance, tariff treatment, and market access.
We specialize in advising on the USMCA’s automotive-specific provisions, including regional value content (RVC) thresholds for vehicles and core parts, labor value content requirements, and North American steel and aluminum sourcing mandates. Additionally, we represent clients in disputes involving customs enforcement, origin verification processes, and tariff classifications.
Whether our clients need guidance on structuring supply chains to meet RVC requirements or defending against claims in trade disputes, we provide precise legal strategies to protect their interests in this highly competitive and globally-integrated industry.
