Preferential origin

AI-issued preferential origin
statements under every FTA.

Generate EUR.1, EUR-MED, REX statements on invoice, USMCA / RCEP certifications, A.TR. and Form A with the right legal text, validity, exporter and producer details, and a verified rule of origin per goods line.

9

statement types covered (EUR.1, REX, USMCA, RCEP, A.TR., Form A…)

PSR

rule-of-origin verified before issue

Audit

supplier evidence kept line-by-line

Renewal

validity & blanket-period tracked

Digicust selects the correct statement type for each shipment, applies the legal text of the chosen agreement (EU-UK TCA, CETA, EU-Japan EPA, EU-Vietnam, PEM, USMCA, RCEP, GSP, EU-Türkiye), captures exporter, producer, consignee and importer details, and confirms the Product Specific Rule (PSR) is satisfied before anything is issued. Each line carries an HS code, country of origin and origin criterion; supporting evidence such as long-term supplier declarations, BOM, costing sheets and BTI rulings is kept on file. REX numbers and approved-exporter authorisations are applied automatically where required.

How it works

From source data to filed and tracked

The same agentic workflow that runs your customs declarations runs this sub-solution, connected to your data, your authorisations and your existing systems.

Step 1

Pick the agreement and statement type

From the destination, exporter status and shipment value, the agent selects the right FTA and statement, including EUR.1 vs. statement on invoice vs. REX, USMCA vs. RCEP, and A.TR. for EU-Türkiye, then pulls in exporter, producer, consignee and importer data.

Step 2

Verify the rule of origin per line

Each HS code is matched to the agreement's PSR. The agent compares it against BOM, supplier LTSDs and costing data, sets the origin criterion, and only marks the line originating when the proof holds. Missing evidence is flagged before anything is issued.

Step 3

Issue, file and track validity

The statement is generated with the correct legal text, REX or approved-exporter reference, validity dates and place of issue. Evidence is archived, and renewal alerts fire before the next shipment crosses the border.

Capabilities

What the AI does for you

Each capability runs as part of the same agent, with no separate tools and no additional integrations.

Right statement, every time

Picks EUR.1, EUR-MED, statement on invoice, REX, USMCA Certification, RCEP DOO, A.TR. or Form A based on agreement, value threshold and exporter status.

Agreement-aware legal text

Generates the statutory wording for EU-UK TCA, CETA, EU-Japan EPA, EU-Vietnam, PEM cumulation, USMCA, RCEP, GSP and bilateral FTAs, or accepts a custom GENERIC override.

Rule of origin verified

Checks the applicable Product Specific Rule against your BOM and supplier declarations before marking RuleOfOriginConfirmed=true. No origin claim without evidence.

Per-line origin criterion

Each goods line carries the right code for the agreement: 'A/B/P' for EU PEM, 'A/B/C/D' for USMCA, and 'WO/PE/CTC/RVC' for RCEP, with HS code, weights, quantity and invoice line value.

Validity & blanket periods

Sets validity (12 months for most FTAs, 24 months blanket for USMCA), tracks expiry and triggers renewals before the next shipment ships.

REX & approved exporter

Applies your REX number on shipments above EUR 6 000 or your approved-exporter authorisation, and renders the correct reference in the printed statement.

Evidence pack on record

Long-term supplier declarations (LTSD), short-term declarations (STSD), BOM, costing sheets, BTI rulings and supplier invoices are linked to every issued statement.

Print-ready output

PDF or invoice-embedded statement in the required layout, exporter / producer / consignee details, place and date of issue, and signatory block, ready to ship.

Frequently Asked Questions

EUR.1 and EUR-MED movement certificates, statements on invoice (including REX), USMCA Certifications of Origin, RCEP Declarations of Origin, A.TR. movement certificates for EU-Türkiye, GSP Form A and a generic origin declaration with custom legal text.

Each goods line is matched to the Product Specific Rule of the chosen agreement and verified against your bill of materials, supplier long-term declarations (LTSDs) and, where needed, costing data. The line is only marked as originating when the proof is on file. Anything else is flagged before the statement is issued.

Yes. Your REX number is applied automatically on shipments above EUR 6 000, and approved-exporter authorisations are rendered in the statement reference where you hold one. Where neither applies, Digicust falls back to EUR.1 instead of issuing an invalid statement on invoice.

Each issued statement carries a validity range, typically 12 months or 24 months for USMCA blanket periods. The system tracks expiry per customer, product and agreement, and triggers renewal before the next shipment crosses the border.

Yes. Supplier LTSDs collected through Digicust feed straight into preferential-origin checks, and customer-facing LLEs you issue are linked to the same product and origin data. There is no double-keying between supplier intake and customer issuance.

Then no preferential statement is issued. Digicust marks the goods as non-originating, explains which step of the PSR fails, and flags missing evidence such as supplier declaration, BOM line or costing before anyone signs. The decision is logged for audit.

When the same data is used for export filings, the preferential proof reference (REX number, statement type, agreement) flows into the export declaration, and the matching origin criterion is applied to each line without re-keying.

From source data to an approved customs result

Preferential origin software backed by rules and supplier evidence

Digicust evaluates the relevant agreement and product rule while keeping missing evidence and human responsibility visible.

01

Inputs

Bills of materials, tariff codes, material values, production steps, supplier declarations, countries and the intended trade agreement.

02

Automated workflow

Select the applicable rule, evaluate materials and processing, calculate thresholds, identify evidence gaps and prepare the origin result.

03

Checks and sources

Agreement scope, product-specific rule, originating status, tolerance, cumulation, insufficient processing and supplier-document validity.

04

Outputs

A reasoned origin assessment, calculation details, failed conditions, missing evidence and data for the appropriate proof of origin.

Automation and human control

The system calculates and explains the result. Responsible specialists approve the interpretation, evidence and issued origin statement.

Illustrative workflow

A bill of materials meets the value threshold but one supplier declaration has expired. The result remains pending until valid evidence is supplied.
