MVE by industry
The textile industry faces unique MVE challenges: properly valuing branded garments with royalties, declaring materials and designs supplied to the manufacturer, and handling maquila operations with re-entry of goods. Camtom automates these complex calculations so textile importers comply with Rule 1.5.1 without errors.
Declaring brand royalties as additions when they are a condition of sale
Valuing materials, patterns and designs supplied to the manufacturer as assists (Art. 65-II LA)
Handling maquila valuations where the importer supplies inputs to the foreign manufacturer
Determining the correct value when retroactive or volume discounts are not reflected in the invoice
Correctly classifying mixed-composition garments that affect the tariff code and therefore the value
Camtom automatically detects whether brand royalties qualify as additions under Art. 65 section III LA
Calculates the value of supplied materials and designs and adds them to the transaction value in the MVE
Generates MVEs specific to maquila operations with the correct breakdown of supplied inputs
Adjusts value when documented discounts exist, maintaining traceability for audits
Links tariff classification with declared value to ensure consistency in the customs declaration
