Hello. I am wondering how users are handling NAFTA preference and paperwork. We have a project and the list of rules for our product families. Trying to incorporate the rules into code has been quite a task.

How are other companies handling this housing of the information and printing of the documents.

Thanks for any input.

Hi Dan,

Funny you should ask, but I just finished putting together a quick solution that is working quite well for us.

Starting at the Shipments (whinh4630m000) session, I customized a Print NAFTA Certificate of Origin session that prints the NAFTA document.

We get the Item, Description, Country of Origin from the Items - General table and the harmonized tariff code is calculated based on the Item Group in the Items-General table. All of the coding is in the customized report script.

I found the proper Tariff Codes for our products at http://www.foreign-trade.com/schedules.htm

The NAFTA Certificate of Origin was designed using Hidox FormDesigner.

Attached are screen shots.

Hope this helps get you started.

Mike
