Regional Trade Agreements.

Analyze the consequences of choosing wrong characteristics when classifying products for tariffs. (Use the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) site by the U.S. International Trade Commission in your analysis.) Choose one of the following options:
Option A: Choose a product your company sells globally that has various tariff schedules depending on region, which you can find using the HTS page. Using this page, examine the various tariffs that can be applied depending on the source and type. How much will it affect your profitability? Would it be worth spending the time to figure out source and type?
Option B: Assume your company is importing salmon from Finland. You do not know where it originates or what type of salmon it is. Using the HTS page, examine the various tariffs that can be applied depending on the source and type. How much will it affect your profitability? Would it be worth spending the time to figure out source and type?
Apply the NAFTA tribunal process to navigate laws that may impact the selected company. Choose one of the following options:
Option A: Locate a city in Mexico or Canada where your company is operating. Recently, this small town has enacted green effluent laws that will affect your profitability. Assuming your margin is very small, any increase in costs will damage your profitability. What recourse do you have? How would you go about handling this issue? Identify areas of uncertainty and/or knowledge gaps that may impact your strategy.
Option B: Your company processes and cans salmon in Delores Hidalgo, Mexico. Recently, the small town has enacted green effluent laws that will affect your profitability. Assuming your margin is very small, any increase in costs will damage your profitability. What recourse do you have? How would you go about handling this issue? Identify areas of uncertainty and/or knowledge gaps that may impact your strategy.

Do you find your company to be following best practices, using the 4R model versus the APICS report?
What are the consistencies and inconsistencies you find?

Use Part 1 of the Supply Chain Risk Assessment Survey as a reference point.
