Input by input
Without proof an input counts as non-originating, and Inferred asks its supplier for it.
Does it qualify? See why, input by input.
Inferred checks your bill of materials against each agreement's rules of origin, collects the supplier declarations you need and shows what a claim is worth.
Each agreement's own provisions.
How each one works- Product-specific rules
- The agreement's rule for your product's code, applied word for word.
- Tariff shift
- Every imported input has to change code on its way into the product.
- Regional value content
- Build-down, build-up and focused value, as each agreement sets them.
- De minimis
- The small share of inputs allowed to miss the rule.
- Cumulation
- Materials from partner countries count as your own.
- Proof of origin
- Bought inputs count once their supplier's declaration is on file.
Every input judged on its own facts. Made parts by their own bill of materials, bought parts by their supplier's proof. You approve every result.
What a claim is worth
See the full rate next to the rate under every agreement that could apply, route by route.
Asked from the product
A request names the part and what's needed, and the supplier answers in their own account.
Read from the document
AI reads their declaration and matches its goods lines to your parts for you to confirm.
Kept in date
Every declaration is checked for issuer, dates and contents, and renewed before it runs out.
Checked again when sourcing changes
A new supplier puts the result back under review while the approved one stays in place.
Qualifying, the usual way and with Inferred.
The usual wayWith Inferred
Applying the rule
The usual wayRead the annex, then work out the value by hand in a spreadsheet.
The rule runs over the whole product tree, and every alternative is tried and shown.
Inputs without proof
The usual wayAssumed to originate, or chased by email when someone notices.
Treated as non-originating until the proof arrives, and its supplier is asked for it.
Checking a declaration
The usual wayRead by eye against a checklist, if there is one at all.
AI reads the PDF, matches it to your parts and checks it against what the agreement requires.
Keeping it in date
The usual wayNoticed only once it has lapsed and a claim relied on it.
Tracked by date. Inferred asks for a renewal before it ends and stops relying on it the day it does.
An audit
The usual wayRebuild what was decided and why, from files and memory.
Export any decision as a report with the result, the rule, the inputs and who approved it, and when.

How deep does it look into the bill of materials?
Every level. Parts you make are judged by their own inputs, and bought parts by their supplier's proof of origin.
Can suppliers just send the declaration they have?
Yes. They upload it to the request and it's read and checked against the agreement. Or they can run the check on their own data.
Does AI decide whether a product qualifies?
No. AI imports your spreadsheets, reads supplier documents and classifies products. The agreement's rules decide, and you approve every result.
