Origin engineering is a strategic practice employed in international trade that involves the deliberate relocation of specific manufacturing processes from one country to another. The primary objective of origin engineering is to bypass trade restrictions, such as higher duty rates or quotas, imposed on goods originating from a particular country. By shifting manufacturing operations to a different country, businesses aim to change the origin of the final product, thereby accessing more favorable trade conditions. Origin engineering allows companies to mitigate the impact of trade barriers and gain a competitive advantage by circumventing restrictive measures and potentially reducing costs associated with tariffs or quotas. This practice requires careful analysis of trade regulations and supply chain considerations to ensure compliance and maximize benefits.
