Big Box Ready: Winning Import Compliance & Tariff Strategies Webinar

October 14 at 12:00 pm 1:00 pm

Supplying imports to the nation’s largest retailers comes with unique hurdles — from ever-shifting tariff structures to heightened compliance expectations and rigorous contract terms. Please join Allison Raley and Michelle Davis, attorneys in AGG’s Global Trade & Sanctions practice, and Jay Cho, Managing Director, Tariffs and Customs at Aprio, for a practical discussion on how suppliers to big box retailers can anticipate risk, stay compliant, and negotiate agreements that protect both margins and market access.

Topics include:

  • Key import compliance considerations for suppliers to the big boxes.
  • Tariff risk mitigation strategies, including classification, origin planning, refund opportunities, customs valuation, and the First Sale Rule.
  • Drafting and negotiating supply agreements that address liability, allocation of tariff costs, and compliance responsibilities.
  • Practical takeaways from recent enforcement trends and how they affect supplier–retailer relationships.

Plus, learn how one U.S.-based supplier overcame significant pressure from surging tariff rates by implementing these strategies to avoid enforcement exposure and recapture tariff costs, ultimately strengthening its retailer relationships.There will be an opportunity for Q&A at the end of this webinar.

Credits: 1 hour of CLE credit is pending approval by the State Bar of Georgia
