Host: Cindy Allen Published: January 2, 2026 Length: ~15 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary The first Cindy's Version episode of 2026 kicks off with reflection, perspective, and a clear-eyed look at how fundamentally global trade has changed. Inspired by Taylor Swift's Right Where You Left Me, Cindy Allen explains why many trade professionals feel stuck between old rules and a completely new enforcement reality. While the holidays brought a brief pause in activity, the underlying shifts from 2025 are still very much in motion. From tariff threats that didn't materialize, to delayed Section 232 actions, to long-awaited automation updates from CBP, Cindy walks through what changed—and what didn't—over the past two weeks. More importantly, she explains why 2025 will be remembered as a pivotal year in trade history, on par with other transformational moments like containerization, air cargo, and automated clearance. This Week in Trade • Proposed 92% antidumping duties on Italian pasta were ultimately set far lower, avoiding combined duty rates exceeding 100% • Section 232 cases on upholstered furniture and kitchen cabinets were delayed for one year • Importers planning remodels may benefit from acting within the next year • The trade community continues to wait on Supreme Court decisions related to IEEPA reciprocal and fentanyl cases • Attention now shifts to when the Court returns to session CBP & Regulatory Updates • CBP announced all duty refunds will be issued electronically beginning in February • Electronic refunds become mandatory in March • CBP clarified procedures for refunds owed to brokers or third parties using Form 4811 • Industry hopes this signals a move toward fully electronic payments, including: • Protests • Post-Summary Corrections • Other remittance processes COAC Updates • COAC will meet virtually on January 14 • Previous subcommittees and workgroups were dissolved last year • Industry is watching closely for: • A new COAC structure • New workgroups or subcommittees • Applications for new COAC members closed in December • Several current members are rolling off after reaching term limits • Appointments are expected later in the year, not at the January meeting Why “Right Where You Left Me” Fits This Moment Cindy explains that while trade professionals earned every bit of their experience in 2025, the rules of engagement have changed. Enforcement is heavier, actions are more industry-specific, and governments are using every tool available—sometimes in new and unexpected ways. Formal announcements are often replaced by rumors, social media posts, or informal signals, forcing the industry to operate in a constant state of readiness. At the same time, the government expects the trade community to adapt just as aggressively—leveraging automation, data, and new technologies to meet rising compliance expectations. What was once a rigid, compartmentalized system has become layered and complex, operating simultaneously at the country, industry, company, and even product level. The challenge now is not getting stuck in the way trade “used to be,” but learning how to move forward in a system that no longer looks the same. Key Takeaways • 2025 marked a fundamental shift in how trade policy is applied and enforced • Tariffs and trade remedies are increasingly industry-, company-, and product-specific • Automation and data will play a critical role in future compliance • Informal signals now often precede formal policy announcements • Trade professionals must evolve—or risk being left behind RESOURCES & MENTIONS • Global Training Center • TradeForce Multiplier Credits Host: • Cindy Allen – LinkedIn • Trade Force Multiplier Producer: • Lalo Solorzano – LinkedIn Subscribe & Follow New episodes every Friday.

Host: Cindy Allen Published: December 19 Length: ~15 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center In this year-end “Cindy's Version” of Simply Trade, Cindy Allen, CEO of TradeForce Multiplier, uses Taylor Swift's “The Manuscript” to frame a look back at 2025's trade story. She recaps the latest developments—from the Court of International Trade's surprise ruling on the Costco injunction and IEPA liquidation concerns to a new Switzerland–Liechtenstein trade deal and CBP's long‑awaited “stacking” spreadsheet. Cindy also highlights the U.S. government's announcement that it collected 200 billion dollars in new tariffs this year, and what that really means for importers' bottom lines. Using “The Manuscript” as a metaphor, Cindy walks through the big chapters of this year in trade: unprecedented use of authorities like IEPA and 232, the temporary shock of 145% China tariffs, the demise of de minimis, a jump in effective average duty rates, and a surge in complexity around stacking, derivative tariffs, and country‑of‑melt reporting. She also touches on ACE edit‑check gaps, compressed implementation timelines, expanded ACAS data requirements, and pilots like the Global Business Identifier that signal a move toward progressive filing and deeper supply chain visibility. Cindy closes by reflecting on the vital role of trade associations, community, and collaboration—and shares her hope that next year's “manuscript” reads more like a romantic comedy than an action thriller. What You'll Learn in This Episode What the CIT's ruling in the Costco/IEPA case really means for injunctions and refunds Key updates: Switzerland–Liechtenstein trade deal, CBP stacking spreadsheet, and tariff collections How IEPA and 232 were used in new, expansive ways—including derivative and fentanyl‑related tariffs The “demise of de minimis” and its impact on trade flows and compliance workloads Why average effective duty rates have jumped from ~2–3% to around 17% How trade “deals” differ from formal FTAs and why they complicate stacking rules New data, timing, and ACE challenges: melt/cast reporting, missing edit checks, and 1‑day rollouts The growing role of pilots like GBI and progressive filing in reshaping future entry processes Why uncertainty itself—legal, financial, and operational—has become a major cost driver Key Takeaways 2025's trade “manuscript” is defined by unprecedented authority use, higher duty rates, and much more complexity. Rapid‑fire changes, thin guidance, and limited ACE edit checks have shifted more risk and responsibility onto importers, brokers, and software providers. Community, collaboration, and strong industry groups (ICPA, NCBFAA, AAEI, COAC) are essential to interpreting and managing ongoing change. As the trade community turns the page to a new year, the goal is a calmer, more predictable “script”—with fewer action scenes and more stability.

Send us a textUnderstanding Office Politics in the WorkplaceOffice politics can make many people uncomfortable, but it's actually an important skill to develop, especially for managers. It's not about tricking others or using unfair tactics; instead, it's about understanding the relationships and dynamics that exist in your workplace so you can work effectively towards shared goals.At its core, office politics is about influence. This means how decisions are made, how resources get distributed, and how relationships are built within a company. Research shows that knowing how things work in your organization can lead to better teamwork and a healthier workplace overall.فهم السياسة في مكان العمليمكن أن تجعل السياسة في المكتب الكثير من الناس غير مرتاحين، لكنها في الواقع مهارة مهمة يجب تطويرها، خاصة بالنسبة للمديرين. ليست هذه السياسة متعلقة بخداع الآخرين أو استخدام أساليب غير عادلة؛ بل تتعلق بفهم العلاقات والديناميات الموجودة في مكان عملك حتى تتمكن من العمل بفعالية نحو الأهداف المشتركة.في جوهرها، تتعلق السياسة في المكتب بالنفوذ. وهذا يعني كيفية اتخاذ القرارات، وكيفية توزيع الموارد، وكيفية بناء العلاقات داخل الشركة. تظهر الأبحاث أن معرفة كيفية عمل الأمور في مؤسستك يمكن أن يؤدي إلى تحسين العمل الجماعي وصحة مكان العمل بشكل عام.
