  • [Cindy's Version] The Moment the World Knew: U.S. Trade Loses Its Pull

    [Cindy's Version] The Moment the World Knew: U.S. Trade Loses Its Pull
    Jan 23 2026
    Host: Cindy Allen Published: Friday, January 23, 2026 Segment: Simply Trade – Cindy’s Version (song: “The Moment I Knew”) In this episode of Simply Trade – Cindy’s Version, Cindy Allen uses Taylor Swift’s “The Moment I Knew” to frame a sobering realization: the rest of the world is increasingly moving on with trade—without the United States at the center. She opens with concrete developments, including Canada and China finalizing a trade agreement as China becomes Canada’s number one trade partner, and a large EU delegation touring Asia (China, Vietnam, and others) to explore a broad EU–Asia trade bloc arrangement.​ On the policy front, Cindy notes the administration has walked back its threat to impose tariffs on NATO countries that opposed a U.S. move to “buy” Greenland, easing immediate sovereignty‑driven tension. But legislative activity is heating up: Senator Cassidy’s customs bill, a proposed import licensing regime (including possible restrictions on non‑resident importers) that could morph from “trusted trader” incentives into a broad tariff scheme, and a new proposal to apply a 20% flat rate on express courier imports, mirroring the postal model and positioned as a de minimis replacement. She explains how the elimination of de minimis has already hit express integrators hard—FedEx alone reported a one‑billion‑dollar “headwind,” with average de minimis values around 25 dollars now requiring full entries on vast volumes of low‑value packages.​ Cindy also touches on potential one‑year extensions of AGOA and the Haiti Help Act, still being tracked through budget legislation, and confirms the IEPA Supreme Court decision did not appear before the Court went out of session, pushing any announcement into mid‑to‑late February at the earliest. She warns that the longer the delay, the more likely a significantly drawn‑out process for any eventual tariff relief, even if importers prevail. Meanwhile, CBP continues ramping up 28s and enforcement on steel and aluminum 232s, with early, non‑binding indications from the Base Metals Center that raise new questions about how to back out raw material costs and properly calculate dutiable value—prompting AAEI to form a working group to engage CBP.​ The emotional core of the episode comes from Davos, where Cindy sees “the moment” the global system recognized a fundamental break: the U.S. arrived with a strong America‑First message that was audibly booed by attendees, while other leaders—especially Canada’s prime minister—signaled a deep sense of betrayal and a hard pivot toward building trade agreements around, rather than through, Washington. For Cindy, this is the moment the world “knew” the old gravitational pull of U.S. trade leadership may not return even after this administration or the next election cycle: global trade volumes and cooperation remain strong, but the center of gravity is shifting as partners organize new paths forward.​ What You’ll Learn in This Episode Key new developments: Canada–China agreement, EU–Asia trade bloc talks, and the rollback of threatened NATO tariffs over Greenland.​ How proposed U.S. import licensing, non‑resident importer limits, and a 20% courier flat rate could reshape tariff burdens and de minimis workarounds.​ Why express couriers have been hit so hard by de minimis elimination, and what a flat‑rate model might change.​ The latest on IEPA Supreme Court timing, 232 steel/aluminum enforcement, and AAEI’s efforts to clarify valuation expectations.​ Why Davos 2026 may mark the “moment the world knew” U.S. trade leadership has fundamentally changed—and what that means for future agreements.​ Key Takeaways Traditional allies are actively deepening trade with China and Asia, signaling a more multipolar trade system.​ U.S. legislative proposals could push more cost and complexity onto importers and express carriers, even as they seek new facilitation models.​ IEPA relief, if it comes, will likely be slow and process‑heavy; companies should not bank on quick cash refunds.​ Global forums like Davos are now openly questioning U.S. reliability as a trade partner, accelerating moves to diversify away from U.S. gravity. ---------------------------------------- Presented by: Global Training Center​ Listen & Subscribe Simply Trade main page: https://simplytrade.podbean.com​ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/simply-trade/id1640329690​ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/09m199JO6fuNumbcrHTkGq​ Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8de7d7fa-38e0-41b2-bad3-b8a3c5dc4cda/simply-trade​ Connect with Simply Trade Podcast page: https://www.globaltrainingcenter.com/simply-trade-podcast​ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/simply-trade-podcast​ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SimplyTradePod​ Join the Trade Geeks Community Trade Geeks (by Global ...

  • Mexico’s New Tariffs Don't Get Caught Off-Guard with Brenda and Francsisco

    Mexico’s New Tariffs Don't Get Caught Off-Guard with Brenda and Francsisco
    Jan 22 2026
    Hosts

    Lalo Solorzano Andy Shiles

    Guests

    Brenda Cordova, Partner, Córdoba Law Group (Mexico) Francisco Cordova, Partner, Córdoba Law Group (Mexico) Of Counsel to Braumiller Law Group (U.S.)

    Published

    January 22, 2026

    Length

    Approx. 50 minutes

    Presented by

    Global Training Center

    Episode Summary

    Mexico quietly flipped the switch on a major tariff regime change — and unlike past proposals, this one actually took effect on January 1. In this episode, Lalo and Andy are joined by Brenda and Francisco Cordova of Córdoba Law Group in Mexico to break down what’s happening, why it matters now, and how U.S. companies could be caught off guard if they’re not paying attention.

    From new Mexican import tariffs ranging as high as 50%, to exemptions tied to free trade agreements, to the real-world impact on supply chains and pricing models, this conversation brings much-needed clarity to a fast-moving issue that many companies are only now discovering — after the law is already live.

    If your business touches Mexico in any way, this is a must-listen.

    Key Topics Covered

    • Mexico’s new tariff law effective January 1 — no prórroga, no delay

    • Why this change surprised even seasoned trade professionals

    • Tariff ranges reportedly spanning 15% to 50% across hundreds of tariff lines

    • How free trade agreements factor into exemptions — and where they don’t

    • What this means for companies relying on USMCA

    • Why Mexico trade policy is now one of the hottest conference topics in the industry

    • Practical considerations for importers, exporters, and compliance teams

    Why This Episode Matters

    Many companies assume Mexico policy changes follow long consultation periods or last-minute extensions. This time, that assumption was wrong.

    Brenda and Francisco explain what changed, why it changed, and what companies should be doing right now — before costs, compliance issues, or operational disruptions escalate.

  • [TIPS] Products, Entities, and Trade Data Automation

    [TIPS] Products, Entities, and Trade Data Automation
    Jan 20 2026

    Hosts: Renee Chiuchiarelli Julie Parks

    Series: Trade & Technology Episode: Tech Series – Episode 2a Format: Simply Trade Tips (Hammer & Heels) Length: ~10 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center

    Episode Summary

    In this episode of Simply Trade Tips, Renee Chiuchiarelli and Julie Parks zoom out to look at the big picture of trade technology, focusing on two foundational elements: products and entities.

    As companies face increasing scrutiny, data volume, and regulatory complexity, this conversation explores how trade technology can manage, automate, and store trade-critical data upstream—long before a “screaming shipment” hits the dock.

    This episode builds on the Tech Series by explaining how trade professionals can move away from transaction-level firefighting and toward scalable, reusable, and compliant trade data frameworks.

    Key Topics Covered 🧩 Products & Trade Data

    Renee and Julie discuss how technology supports the sub-processes behind product-related trade decisions, including:

    • Trade numbering (HS, Schedule B, ECCN, USML, CCCN)

    • Partner Government Agency (PGA) requirements

    • Country of origin determination (especially critical in today’s tariff environment)

    • Transaction value and valuation sub-processes

    • Managing product attributes once so they can be reused across all transactions

    The key takeaway: 👉 Trade data should live with the product — not be recreated for every shipment.

    🏢 Entities & Trade Compliance

    The conversation then shifts to entities and how technology can manage trade-related data that isn’t tied to a single order but affects every transaction:

    • Restricted party screening (and why re-screening matters)

    • Sanctions and due diligence

    • Supply chain mapping and forced labor compliance

    • Ownership, related-party indicators, and M&A activity

    • Using technology to support CBP enforcement trends and data analytics

    The message is clear: 👉 Entity-level data is foundational to modern trade compliance and enforcement readiness.

    Why This Matters

    Julie and Renee emphasize that technology isn’t about replacing trade professionals — it’s about:

    • Handling high data volumes efficiently

    • Reducing manual, repetitive work

    • Freeing up time for strategic trade decisions

    • Creating a single source of truth for product and entity trade data

    When trade answers are attached at the product and entity level, they flow automatically into every import and export transaction — improving consistency, compliance, and confidence.

    🧠 FIO (Figure It Out) – This Week’s Action Item

    Take time this week to:

    1. Identify your biggest product or entity data challenges

    2. Ask where trade answers (classification, origin, valuation, screening) currently live

    3. Evaluate how well those answers are married to your product or entity data

    4. Think about how that data could be reused — not re-created — across transactions

    Then, bring your insights to the Trade Geeks Community and share what you’re discovering.
