The opportunity

Redwood Materials was founded in 2017 by JB Straubel, co-founder and former CTO of Tesla, on a simple but radical idea: the critical minerals powering the energy transition already exist. They just need to come back.

What you'll do

  • Apply and verify Schedule B and Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS): classification for exported materials, and prepare origin documentation supporting preferential claims, including United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and Korea–U.S. Free Trade Agreement (KORUS FTA) certificates
