Over 4 years after taking effect, the USMCA remains the most important trade agreement for any company moving goods in North America.
And yet, many businesses are still operating it as if it were NAFTA.
The USMCA isn't just a legal framework. It's a competitive advantage for those who understand and use it well.
What changed with the USMCA?
→ Stricter rules of origin for products manufactured in the region
→ Updated and more agile customs procedures across all 3 countries
→ Greater legal certainty for cross-border trade operations
→ A favorable framework for nearshoring that is transforming the regional supply chain
At ARC, we've been operating within this regulatory framework for over 20 years — before NAFTA, through it, and now under the USMCA.
Is your company already optimizing its logistics under the USMCA?
