What We Do
80% of the cost and effort associated with determining a trade attestation involves gathering information about the good itself.
Welcome to OriginBX!
We are responsible for the governance and creation of data standards encapsulating product attributes and the determination and auditability of tax and trade attestations. In addition to preferential and non-preferential country of origin for qualifying a good for tariff savings, our work covers forced labor, sustainability, HTS classification, export controls, customs value, and other admissibility attestations. Tax residency/origin certifications for withholding tax relief at source are also being addressed.
Legacy tax and trade management systems, supply chain track and trace blockchain platforms, eCommerce platforms, and tax and customs government agencies will benefit from the OriginBX data standards. Our tax and trade specific message sets will significantly reduce the redundancy and volume of emails with attachments when exchanging sensitive data about a good, entity, or individual for purposes of determining and communicating critical time sensitive tax and trade attestations.
