  • [TIPS]: Communications: Cutting Through the Noise

    [TIPS]: Communications: Cutting Through the Noise
    Sep 9 2025

    Hosts: Renee Chuichiarelli & Julie Parks Published: [Insert publish date here] Length: ~4 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center

    In the final installment of the Tariff Chaos mini-series, (dont worry, we have several other series coming up) Hammer & Heels (Renee & Julie) tackle the one thing that makes or breaks a trade compliance strategy: communication.

    With tariffs shifting weekly, how you frame updates and who you deliver them to is just as important as the analysis itself. This episode dives into practical ways to avoid “tariff fatigue” while keeping your executives and teams engaged.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    1. Identify Your Audience – Determine who needs tariff updates: executives, task forces, committees, or broader staff groups.

    2. Set the Right Cadence – In today’s environment, weekly updates may be necessary to keep leadership informed and reduce uncertainty.

    3. Engage Other Departments – Finance, supply chain, and other functions should be part of the conversation. Call out their contributions to strengthen alignment.

    Julie’s FIO (Figure It Out)

    👉 This week’s action item: Map out your comms path. Decide who gets tariff updates, how often, and in what format (newsletter, task force meeting, executive brief, etc.). Move from ad hoc emails to a consistent, repeatable approach.

  • [ROUNDUP]: The De Minimis Fallout with Marianne Rowden

    [ROUNDUP]: The De Minimis Fallout with Marianne Rowden
    Sep 8 2025
    Host: Annik Sobing Guest: Marianne Rowden (CEO & Director, E-Merchents Trade Council) Published: September 8, 2025 Length: ~42 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center 🌍 Life After De Minimis: What E-Commerce Importers Need to Know In this week’s Simply Trade Roundup, host Annik Sobing welcomes back Marianne Rowden, CEO of the E-Merchants Trade Council, for an in-depth discussion on the fast-moving crisis following the end of de minimis entry benefits on August 29. Marianne breaks down what the loss of de minimis really means for importers, e-commerce sellers, and global supply chains — from skyrocketing compliance costs to postal suspensions and the new wave of IEEPA tariffs. She explains why this shift is far more than a duty issue, and how small businesses are now being forced into a maze of tariffs, complex customs filings, and compliance risks that could reshape the entire e-commerce landscape. 🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: 📦 The De Minimis Exit – Why this long-standing provision was critical for e-commerce and why its end is creating shockwaves. 💰 Tariffs on Tariffs – How overlapping IEEPA tariffs stack up, raising effective duty rates beyond 50% for some countries. 📮 Postal Suspensions – Why more than 30 countries have halted shipments to the U.S., and what carriers are doing to adapt. 🏬 Business Model Pivots – The rise of B2B2C structures, bonded warehouses, and changes in Incoterms — and why many of these “quick fixes” may not work. ⚖️ Compliance Pitfalls – First Sale, transfer pricing, and tariff engineering — which are legitimate tools and which could get you into serious trouble. 🚨 New Enforcement Landscape – How DOJ’s expanded trade fraud task force changes the risk equation for importers and e-sellers. 🔑 Key Takeaways: De minimis was about simplified compliance as much as it was about duty savings. The removal forces importers into a high-tariff, high-complexity environment. Quick fixes like transfer pricing or misused Incoterms can backfire — small importers must tread carefully. Postal systems weren’t ready — the six-month “tiered duty” workaround is only temporary. DOJ’s involvement means trade fraud enforcement will be broader and harsher than ever. 📌 Resources & Mentions: E-Merchants Trade Council White House Fact Sheet: Executive Order Eliminating De Minimis for China and Hong Kong FlavorCloud: The End of the U.S. $800 De Minimis Rule — What It Means for Consumers AInvest: De Minimis Exemption Reshaping Commerce, Retail Margins, and Supply Chain Risks CBP FAQ on IEEPA Reciprocal Tariffs CRS: Court Challenges to IEEPA Tariffs Credits Host: Annik Sobing - LinkedIn Guest: Marianne Rowden - LinkedIn Producer: Lalo Solorzano - LinkedIn Subscribe & Follow: New Roundup episodes every week.

  • [Cindy's Version]: Bad Blood

    [Cindy's Version]: Bad Blood
    Sep 5 2025

    Host: Cindy Allen Published: September 5, 2025 Length: ~13 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center

    💡 Bad Blood in Trade: De Minimis Fallout, Court Battles, and Postal Standoffs

    In this week’s Cindy’s Version, Cindy Allen — the Taylor Swift of Trade — takes on Bad Blood to explain the rising tensions across global trade. From the elimination of de minimis to international postal suspensions, legal fights over tariff authority, and new duty structures in Japan, Cindy breaks down why there’s “bad blood” between governments, carriers, and traders alike.

    She also covers the latest on the IEEPA court case, potential Supreme Court review, and how importers should prepare for refunds and liquidation monitoring.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    • The federal appeals court ruling on IEEPA tariffs and what’s next at the Supreme Court

    • How importers can monitor liquidation reports and protect potential refunds

    • Japan’s new trade deal structure mirroring the EU’s 15% cap system

    • The impact of de minimis elimination on postal shipments — with some countries halting package delivery to the U.S.

    • Why carriers are refusing to act as duty collectors, leaving space for new third-party solutions

    • The Universal Postal Union’s surprising reversal in supporting U.S. customs authority

    • The role of the STOP Act in allowing USPS to appoint brokers as nominal consignees

    Key Takeaways:

    • Importers should closely monitor liquidation reports to safeguard refund eligibility.

    • New duty collection models are emerging as carriers step back from responsibility.

    • The elimination of de minimis has caused international postal disruptions and strained relationships.

    • UPU’s shift marks a major acknowledgment of U.S. customs authority over inbound shipments.

    • Interim solutions may stabilize the situation, but bad blood remains across global trade partners.
