MIC calculates origin and preference—but a preference result is not supplier-origin evidence

MIC's official product page describes collecting supplier declarations and calculating preferential origin from bills of materials across free-trade agreements, with archived calculations and certificates. A favorable result can support a claim only when the underlying declarations, product structure, rule version, dates, and authorized review remain traceable and valid for the transaction.
