How we can help
- Risk assessments. We can work with you to review the country of origin, valuation, and classification of your imports. For imports into the United States, country of origin and valuation will be most important for across-the-board tariffs. We can help you to make adjustments and assess the impact of changes on your imports.
- Contract reviews. We can help you to assess existing contractual provisions to determine which party bears the cost of certain tariffs, whether the force majeure or termination provisions can be invoked based on these new government orders, and how surcharges can be used to mitigate the unexpected expenses.
- Monitoring changes around the globe and providing the latest updates. Our internationally recognized team helps clients to cut through the noise and focus in on the key changes that impact them directly through timely updates on our Trade Compliance Resources Hub, including our Trump 2.0 tariff tracker.
