SAT Verification of Origin Audits
• Focus on textiles & apparel began in 2011 in an effort to combat illegal transshipment.
• Many affected companies contacted USG to request assistance because of the broad scope and nature of the documentation SAT requested.
• In February 2012, SAT committed to adopt an improved, less burdensome process for audits.
• New procedures have been implemented on a case-by-case basis, including the use of “selective sampling.”

SAT Audits: Best Practices
• Keep all documentation related to NAFTA transactions on file for at least 5 years.
• Read the letter carefully and contact SAT immediately with any questions.
• Respond within the designated timeframe (usually 30 calendar days).
• Ask the designated SAT contact person if your company is eligible for an audit under streamlined procedures, which include the use of selective sampling on a case by case basis.
• Keep detailed records of all communications with SAT.
