Usually lower import costs result in increased sales and substantially increased profit obtainable from the sale of each individual product. MIC OCS helps you to exploit exactly these benefits, so that you can be ahead of your competitors. MIC OCS, our origin calculation system satisfies all global market origin tracking requirements within Customs. It enables you to solicit and store origin data from suppliers and to calculate origin for manufactured products. Moreover, you can store and process rules of origin for an unlimited number of unique preferential / free trade agreements.MIC OCS' supply chain solicitation system makes it easier to generate and track origin requests through various options including a web-based supplier portal.
