The global trade landscape is shifting rapidly, and the stakes have never been higher for importers, exporters, and manufacturers navigating new U.S. tariff policies. Join us on June 5, 2025, for a live virtual webinar featuring Luis Arandia, Partner in Barnes & Thornburg’s International Trade Practice Group, as he unpacks the latest developments in new and proposed tariff actions, enforcement risks, and tariff mitigation strategies.
With recent actions under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, many businesses face significant cost increases, compliance complexities, and operational uncertainty. Luis will provide timely insights on:
- The status of IEEPA-driven reciprocal tariffs and sector-specific Section 232 actions on steel, aluminum, automotive parts, semiconductors, and more
- Recent Executive Orders and federal agency updates affecting tariff stacking, refunds, and implementation timelines
- Best practices for tariff mitigation, including classification reviews, customs valuation strategies, country-of-origin planning, and the use of Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZs)
This session is ideal for supply chain professionals, compliance teams, legal teams, and business leaders who need actionable information to navigate the fast-evolving global trade environment.
Don’t miss this opportunity to stay informed and prepare your business to manage risk, maximize opportunity, and remain compliant in today’s dynamic trade climate.
A link to the virtual training will be sent to registrants 24 hours
before the start of the session.
