PlatformCertifications of origin for USMCA and every FTA you claim

Claim preferential duty,
prove the origin.

Stable Certificate of Origin solicits certifications from your suppliers, validates all nine USMCA data elements, origin criteria, and regional value content, manages blanket periods and renewals, and stores everything so every preference claim on your entries is defensible under a CBP verification.

What it does

Six capabilities for the
certifications that back your claims.

Every feature is built for the team that has to produce a valid certification of origin, then defend it when CBP asks. Not a generic document tool retrofitted for trade.

01: USMCA CERTIFICATIONS

All nine required data elements, on any document you choose.

USMCA prescribes no government form. A certification of origin is valid as long as it carries the nine elements, and it can sit on a standalone certificate or right on the commercial invoice. Stable assembles them all: certifier and type, exporter, producer, importer, HS classification, origin criterion, blanket period, signature, and the certification statement.

02: EVERY FTA + NON-PREFERENTIAL

One workflow for every agreement you claim under.

USMCA, and beyond it each FTA with its own certification, plus non-preferential certificates of origin for destination-country and letter-of-credit requirements, including chamber-of-commerce and eCert issuance. Pick the template; Stable enforces that agreement's data and origin rules.

03: SUPPLIER SOLICITATION

Chase certifications out of your suppliers, on a schedule.

Stable requests certifications from the exporters and producers who owe them, tracks who has responded, escalates the stragglers, and files each returned document against the right part and blanket period. You stop claiming preference on a promise.

04: ORIGIN VALIDATION

Tariff shift, RVC, and de minimis, checked before you claim.

Every certification is tested against the origin criterion it asserts: the tariff-shift rule for its HS heading, regional value content under the transaction-value or net-cost method, and de minimis tolerances. Fail the rule and the claim never reaches an entry.

05: BLANKET PERIODS

Twelve-month coverage, renewed before it lapses.

A blanket period lets one certification cover up to a year of identical shipments. Stable tracks each period's window, flags certifications about to expire, and re-solicits renewals ahead of the lapse, so no claim ever rides on an out-of-date certification.

06: RECORDS + VERIFICATION

Five years of defensible origin, ready when CBP asks.

The importer must hold a valid certification at the moment it claims preference and keep it for five years. Stable stores each one with its full validation lineage, feeds valid claims onto your entries, and assembles the packet CBP wants when it opens an origin verification.

How it works

From supplier request
to preference on the entry.

Four steps from soliciting a certification to placing a defensible preference claim on your entry, validated at every point that matters.

01: COLLECT

Solicit and gather certifications from your suppliers.

Request certifications from the exporters and producers who owe them, or build your own as certifier. Stable tracks outstanding requests, ingests returned documents, and reads the nine data elements off each one.

02: VALIDATE

Check every origin criterion, RVC, and blanket date.

Stable confirms all nine elements are present, tests the asserted origin criterion against the tariff-shift and regional-value-content rules for the HS classification, and verifies the blanket period is current.

03: ISSUE & STORE

Render the certification and file it for five years.

Issue on a standalone form or on the commercial invoice, apply the authorized signature, and store the certification with its full validation lineage in the five-year record.

04: CLAIM

Feed valid preference onto the entry.

Only certifications that pass validation flow to a claim. Stable places the preference and origin criterion on the entry summary and keeps the certification linked, ready for CBP.

Connections

Reads the systems your certifications already live in.

Stable connects to your customs filing software, the ERP and PIM where your parts and bills of materials live, your suppliers, and the chamber and eCert systems behind non-preferential origin, so building and claiming a certification is a handoff, not a data-entry project.

Common questions

What compliance teams ask
before they claim preference.

No. USMCA prescribes no government form. A certification of origin is valid as long as it contains the nine required data elements, and it can appear on any document, including the commercial invoice. Stable builds a compliant certification on whichever document you prefer and enforces that all nine elements are present before it can back a claim.
Certifier (and whether the certifier is the importer, exporter, or producer), exporter, producer, importer, a description and HS tariff classification of the goods, the origin criterion, the blanket period, an authorized signature and date, and a certification statement. Stable validates all nine on every certification and blocks any that is incomplete.
Yes. Stable requests certifications from the exporters and producers who owe them, tracks outstanding requests, escalates the ones that are late, and files each returned certification against the right part and blanket period, so you never claim preference on a certification you do not actually hold.
Each certification is checked against the origin criterion it asserts: the tariff-shift rule for the goods' HS classification, regional value content under the transaction-value or net-cost method against the agreement's threshold, and any de minimis tolerance. Certifications that fail the rule are flagged and never reach an entry.
The importer must hold a valid certification at the time it claims preference and keep it for five years. Stable stores every certification with its full validation lineage — the nine elements, the origin criterion, the RVC calculation, the blanket period, and the signature — and assembles it into the packet CBP requests when it opens a verification.
