Through this discussion\, CIPE is seeking firsthand insights from USABC members on the evolving rules of origin landscape\, particularly in Indonesia\, including:\nKey challenges companies face in navigating the current ROO regulatory environment\;Measures and best practices companies are implementing to strengthen ROO compliance and origin management\;Ongoing or planned engagement with government stakeholders on ROO-related issues\; andOpportunities for policy and regulatory improvements to support more efficient trade facilitation.This discussion provides members with an opportunity to directly inform CIPE's research and the development of its final public report and policy recommendations.
