Free Trade Agreement (FTA) Management

The ONESOURCE Free Trade Agreement (FTA) Management solution allows Importers, Manufacturers and Exporters to significantly reduce the time and effort required to manage any Free Trade Agreement (FTA) through its entire lifecycle.

The system can be used to solicit Suppliers for a Preferential Certificate or Origin, to determine product eligibility based on the Rules of Origin, or to generate Certificates of Origin.

FTA Management stores Supplier-provided supporting documentation, Bill of Material (BOM) analysis results, and generated Preferential Certificates of Origin in a central location to support paperless record keeping.

With the ONESOURCE FTA Management software in place, you can significantly reduce the time needed to qualify goods for FTAs by automating the Supplier Solicitation, BOM Analysis, and certificate generation processes.
