What does OrigynLX actually check?+
It runs your bill of materials against the USMCA rule of origin that governs your HS code: usually a Regional Value Content test under the transaction-value or net-cost method, with de minimis handling and product-specific thresholds. The agreement is known as USMCA in the United States, CUSMA in Canada, and T-MEC in Mexico; the rules are the same. You get a qualify, fail, or needs-review result with the full calculation trail.
How does the free tier work?+
Twenty-five product checks every calendar month, free, with no signup and no card, and the counter resets on the first of each month. A license unlocks unlimited checks, unlimited certificates, batch qualification, Excel export, the vault, and rule watch: 19 USD for 30 days or 149 USD for twelve months.
What is the difference between the monthly pass and the annual license?+
Access is identical: unlimited checks, unlimited certificates, batch qualification, the vault, and rule watch. The monthly pass is 19 USD for 30 days and does not auto-renew; you buy another month whenever you need one. The annual license is 149 USD for twelve months, which works out to about 12 USD a month, the better deal if you ship year-round.
Do I need to create an account?+
No. Your license key is your account. The browser remembers it, a secure cookie restores it automatically if your session is lost, and a one-time email link moves it to a new device. No passwords, no profile, no password reset emails.
Is the result a legal certification?+
No. OrigynLX is a pre-screening and document-preparation tool, not a certification service. The importer, exporter, or producer is the certifying party and remains legally responsible for the origin claim. The tool gives you the numbers, the format, and the audit trail; the judgment and the signature stay with you and your broker.
Which rules does the engine use, and where do they come from?+
Rules are sourced from the USMCA agreement text, including product-specific rules of origin by HS code. When more than one rule could govern a product, or your CSV method differs from the governing rule, the result is flagged for review instead of silently guessed.
Can it process my whole catalog at once?+
Yes. The batch tool takes a catalog CSV and returns a color-coded qualify, fail, or needs-review matrix for every SKU, with up to 5,000 rows per export. The matrix preview is free; licensed users export styled Excel or CSV results.
What documents do I get?+
A draft Certificate of Origin with the nine CBP-required data elements, an audit worksheet showing the full calculation trail, and a broker-ready review package, all as PDFs, plus styled Excel or CSV results from batch runs.
Does it flag Section 232 steel and aluminum exposure?+
Yes. Components classified under HS 7318 (steel fasteners) and HS 7616 (aluminum goods) are flagged automatically, so your broker sees remedy exposure before entry, not after.
What is my data used for?+
The single-product calculator runs its math in your browser. Batch files are uploaded only to process your run, and vault records are stored under your license key so you can reopen them. Your data is never sold or shared.
What happens when the rules change?+
Rule watch monitors USMCA rule, method, and threshold changes and alerts you. The vault tracks blanket-period expiry with renewal reminders, so an expiring certificate never takes you by surprise.
Why does a needs-review flag exist?+
Because a confident wrong answer is the worst output a compliance tool can produce. When data is missing, ambiguous, or the governing rule is unclear, OrigynLX marks the row for human review instead of guessing. Honest flags are the feature, not a limitation.
