Markets Pro preferential trade agreement support

Summary
Markets Pro now supports preferential trade agreements in duties calculations and customs documentation. Merchants should review their products’ country of origin to allow international buyers to take advantage of preferential duties treatment.

Details:
Markets Pro now supports preferential treaties, which result in lower duty rates. For example, the United States-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) free trade agreement enables US merchants to ship their products to Canada and Mexico with reduced import fees when the products are manufactured in North America.

Merchant action:
Markets Pro uses the country of origin specified on each product variant to calculate duties. If no Country of Origin is provided on a given product, Markets Pro will use Taiwan. You can change the default country of origin used by Markets Pro by contacting Shopify support.
