Over its first eight months, the Trump administration has issued dozens of new forms of tariffs, including global 10% tariffs, reciprocal tariffs of up to 50%, special China tariffs, and sectoral tariffs on automotive, steel, aluminum, copper, and lumber products 鈥 with more sectoral tariffs on deck. To help manage these unprecedented tariff and international trade risks, the Foley 聽practice presented a comprehensive three-part 鈥淭ariff Blitz鈥 webinar, covering the significantly changing international trade landscape under the Trump administration as follows:
- Tariffs & Customs Enforcement in the New International Trade Environment: Greg Husisian, Partner and Chair of the Foley International Trade Team, Matt Krueger, Partner, John Turlais, Of Counsel, and Lindsey Zirkle, Associate, will provide an overview of the current status of the various tariff proposals, the strategy of the Trump international trade team, and the risks posed by the new tariff enforcement strategy of CBP and the Department of Justice.
- Customs Compliance in the New International Trade Environment: Greg Husisian and Mary Cagle, a former auditor at U.S. Customs and a current Customs and International Trade Consultant, will focus on coping strategies that importers can implement to cope with the new tariff and enforcement environment, including strategies for enhancing Customs compliance, best practices for post-entry checks, and using voluntary self-disclosures to minimize potential penalties.
- Doing Business in Mexico and Latin America in the New International Trade Environment: Alejandro Gomez, Partner, Marcos Carrasco, Partner, Olivia Singelmann, Partner, and Jose Sanchez, Partner, will discuss how the Trump administration麓s trade and government enforcement priorities have affected doing business in Mexico and Latin America, and the proactive measures businesses can take to adapt to and lower their risk profiles in the current environment.
