Nearshore supply for North America
For US buyers, Altus supplies wire, harnesses and assemblies made in El Salvador under CAFTA-DR: closer than Asia, in your time zone, with preferential access for qualifying products.
CAFTA-DR origin for qualifying productsWhat CAFTA-DR is
CAFTA-DR is the free trade agreement between the United States, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. Originating goods that meet its rules of origin can enter the US duty-free.
Why it matters for your project
- — CAFTA-DR origin for qualifying products, documented in every quote.
- — Short sea transit to US ports, versus weeks from Asia.
- — El Salvador runs on US Central Time: your team and ours work the same hours.
- — One supplier for cable, 4S cable harnesses, harnesses and disconnect boxes.
- — Support in English and Spanish.
Certification for the US market
UL certification of the Ateos plant is in progress through our partner WTEC. Every quote states which certifications apply to the product.
