As global trade policies continue to evolve, companies engaged in cross-border commerce must navigate a landscape marked by high tariffs, intensified customs enforcement, and growing legal scrutiny. From the shifting status of Trump-era tariffs to the U.S. government’s heightened focus on importation risks and trade compliance, businesses face significant challenges that demand strategic planning and precise execution.

Join Gregory Husisian, Partner at Foley & Lardner LLP, and Natalie Zink, Attorney at Schulz Trade Law PLLC, as they explore the latest developments in U.S. trade enforcement. This CLE international trade law webcast will provide practical guidance on navigating customs risks, understanding enforcement priorities, and strengthening compliance protocols in today’s high-stakes trade environment.

Key Topics:

  •  Trump-era tariffs: Current status, litigation updates, and future outlook
  • Best practices for managing expiring exclusions and potential tariff reinstatements
  • Heightened importation risks and new enforcement priorities from Customs and DOJ
  • Key compliance challenges: country of origin, classification, valuation, and USMCA
  • Customs compliance strategies: audits, recordkeeping, broker oversight, and risk mitigation
  • Practical steps to avoid penalties in a high-tariff enforcement landscape

  1. The current state and outlook of the Trump tariffs
    1. Where we are on the various “buckets” of Trump tariffs (global, reciprocal, section 232, China, Canada/Mexico) and the likely landing spot for each.
    2. Litigation update and potential impact
    3. Best practices and planning for clients, expiration of exclusions, potential for reinstatement of exclusions, and potential expansions of derivative products for section 232
  2. Heighted importation risks and enforcement priorities
    1. Understanding why Customs has unprecedented insight into import activity and how it is using 7501 entry summary data for data mining
    2. Coping with the new key risk areas: (1) country of origin/China +1; (2) classification; (3) USMCA compliant goods; and (4) valuation
    3. DOJ elevation of tariff evasion to number 2 enforcement area and new emphasis on Customs FCA
    4. Increased scrutiny on first sale claims, valuation manipulation, and antidumping circumvention, and best practices for clients
  3. Customs compliance best practices for risk mitigation
    1. Country of origin/revisiting China +1 strategy
    2. HTS classification and the conduct of classification review/Customs audit
    3. Valuation and why internet claims of “unbundling” of costs will not work
    4. USMCA compliance
    5. Why reasonable care memos, proper Customs broker oversight, good post-entry procedures, and good recordkeeping are important in the new high-tariff, high-penalty environment
    6. Proper marking and country of origin (small mistakes = big penalties)
  4. Legal and practical considerations around evolving trade policy.
    1. This might be covered in above already.
    2. Section 232, 301, and de minimis reform, and best practices for clients.
