Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest-running podcast in compliance. In this episode, Tom welcomes back Matt Ellis to discuss a newly announced FCPA enforcement action involving Scoular Company. The case invoiced about $400,000 in payments labeled as “reinspection fees” to Mexican customs and food inspectors to move agricultural goods across the Mexico–U.S. border. border, allegedly generating over $6.5 million in avoided costs and raising concerns about cartel-linked beneficiaries. They discuss why customs and customs brokers are recurring high-risk areas in Mexico, how long-running employee involvement suggests broader controls and tone-from-the-top failures, and why these payments are not facilitation payments under Mexican law and given discretionary official acts. Ellis emphasizes analytics on customs documents and broker invoices, stronger third-party diligence beyond traditional screening to address cartel/TCO risks, and defensible governance for WhatsApp/off-channel communications. Despite no voluntary self-disclosure, the company received cooperation credit and a 25% fine reduction, and Ellis previews an ACI conference focused on cartels, TCOs, and compliance in Latin America.

It's a paradox that police and politicians say needs solving. Methamphetamine is a strictly banned and highly destructive drug. It's also illegal, according to Customs, to import or sell utensils for smoking meth. Despite that, you can buy meth pipes everywhere, even in corner dairies in the smallest towns in the country. Northland reporter Peter de Graaf has more.

Emery, Utah, rancher Kirk Christiansen says the lack of water in his town is changing how he does his job raising cattle. He joins us. And, amid a blistering drought, the federal government is drilling unpermitted water wells in New Mexico for use in border wall construction, according to the Office of the State Engineer. Customs and Border Protection says it doesn't need permission to tap the groundwater. Ranchers are concerned their already fragile aquifer will be pumped dry.

L'ex amministratore delegato di Autostrade per l Italia, Giovanni Castellucci, è stato condannato a 12 anni di reclusione per il crollo del Ponte Morandi avvenuto il 14 agosto 2018. È questa la sentenza di primo grado emessa dai giudici del Tribunale di Genova. L'ex numero uno di Aspi sta già scontando una condanna per la strage del viadotto di Monteforte Irpino (Avellino) del 2013, in cui perirono 40 persone. I giudici Paolo Lepri (presidente), Ferdinando Baldini e Fulvio Polidori, hanno anche condannato a 11 anni Michele Donferri Mitelli (ex numero tre di Aspi), per cui il pm aveva chiesto 15 anni e sei mesi. Si conclude così un processo in primo grado che si è snodato in 287 udienze. Alla sbarra, in attesa delle decisioni dei giudici , 57 imputati, tra i quali Giovanni Castellucci che, ai tempi del disastro, era amministratore delegato di Autostrade per l Italia. Per gli imputati, i Pm hanno chiesto 400 anni di carcere complessivi e un assoluzione. E la pena più alta, 18 anni e sei mesi, era stata chiesta proprio per l ex ad. Ne parliamo con Raoul de Forcade, Il Sole 24 Ore.Quando la difesa diventa infrastrutturaIl vertice NATO di Ankara ha confermato che il rafforzamento della difesa europea non passa soltanto dall'acquisto di sistemi d'arma, ma anche dalla disponibilità di capacità produttiva, reti logistiche, comunicazioni sicure e infrastrutture in grado di continuare a funzionare sotto pressione. È questo il significato più ampio della resilienza: non solo respingere una minaccia, ma impedire che un attacco, un sabotaggio o un'interruzione prolungata paralizzino il funzionamento di un Paese. Il quadro di riferimento resta quello fissato al vertice NATO dell'Aia del giugno 2025 e riconfermato ad Ankara: gli alleati si sono impegnati a portare la spesa complessiva al 5% del PIL entro il 2035, di cui almeno il 3,5% per la difesa in senso stretto e fino all'1,5% per spese di difesa e sicurezza allargata che comprendono esplicitamente la protezione delle infrastrutture critiche, la difesa delle reti, la resilienza civile e il rafforzamento della base industriale.Una rete elettrica, per esempio, non è un sistema d'arma, ma senza elettricità non funzionano basi militari, ospedali, telecomunicazioni, data center, aeroporti, porti, ferrovie, industrie e sistemi di pagamento. Le reti europee sono già sottoposte a investimenti significativi per sostenere l'elettrificazione, l'integrazione delle fonti rinnovabili e la crescente domanda dei data center; a queste esigenze si aggiunge ora la necessità di proteggere il sistema da blackout, cyberattacchi, sabotaggi e shock energetici. Approfondiamo il tema con Giacomo Calef, co-fondatore di Rheos Partners.Troppo caldo: in Italia a rischio 126 miliardi di Pil in 5 anniIl caldo estremo è ormai un rischio strutturale crescente soprattutto per l'Europa e in particolare per i Paesi del Sud Europa. Dal 1980 a oggi, gli eventi di stress termico sono aumentati di sette volte, mentre la mortalità media per evento è quintuplicata. L'Europa concentra un numero elevato di vittime: Italia, Francia, Spagna e Germania rappresentano insieme circa il 50% dei decessi globali legati alle ondate di calore registrati nel database analizzato. L'Italia da sola pesa per circa il 18% della mortalità mondiale censita. Secondo lo studio di Allianz Trade, oltre la soglia dei 30°C gli effetti economici del caldo peggiorano rapidamente. Ogni grado aggiuntivo tra 30°C e 35°C riduce la produzione oraria media di circa il 3%, mentre il consumo energetico aumenta dell'1,2% per grado a causa della maggiore domanda di raffrescamento. Gli economisti di Allianz Trade sottolineano che l'Europa è particolarmente vulnerabile perché dispone ancora di una diffusione limitata dell'aria condizionata: circa il 19% delle abitazioni contro il 90% degli Stati Uniti. Nello scenario elaborato per il periodo 2026-2030 basato sulla ripetizione degli anni più caldi registrati nell'ultimo decennio i costi macroeconomici risultano molto elevati. Le perdite cumulative di PIL potrebbero raggiungere: 206 miliardi di euro in Francia; 126 miliardi di euro in Italia; 112 miliardi di euro in Germania; 103 miliardi di euro in Spagna. Per Italia, Francia e Spagna ciò equivale a una riduzione cumulativa del PIL compresa tra il 5% e il 7% rispetto allo scenario climatico storico. Ne parliamo con Andrea Resteghini, Head of Credit Underwriting ( capo dei rischi ) Italia e MMEA Allianz Trade.«Dazi, tariffe illegali» e gli Usa rimborsano alle aziende 81 miliardiDonald Trump aveva promesso che i superdazi avrebbero riportato le fabbriche in America, ridotto il deficit federale e costretto il resto del mondo a negoziare alle condizioni di Washington. Ma la realtà dei conti pubblici si sta rivelando molto diversa. Il Tesoro americano ha rivelato di aver già restituito 81 miliardi di dollari alle aziende che avevano versato dazi poi dichiarati illegittimi dalla Corte Suprema. È la prima volta che vengono quantificati i rimborsi già effettuati, una cifra enorme che cancella una parte consistente degli incassi ottenuti con la politica protezionistica dell'Amministrazione Trump e contribuisce ad allargare il profondo rosso del bilancio federale.Negli Usa il contraccolpo delle scelte di Trump è forte e si avverte soprattutto sul piano giuridico e fiscale. I rimborsi riguardano i cosiddetti dazi del «Liberation Day» annunciati da Trump nell'aprile del 2025 e imposti sulla base dell'International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), una legge del 1977 che attribuisce al presidente poteri straordinari in caso di emergenza nazionale. La Casa Bianca sosteneva che gli squilibri commerciali costituivano un'emergenza tale da giustificare un dazio minimo di almeno il 10% sulle importazioni provenienti da quasi tutto il mondo, accompagnato da tariffe molto più elevate nei confronti di numerosi partner commerciali, a partire dalla Cina. Lo scorso febbraio, però, la Corte Suprema, con una maggioranza di sei giudici contro tre, ha stabilito che quella legge non autorizzava il presidente a imporre una tassa generalizzata sulle importazioni. Secondo i giudici, Trump aveva oltrepassato i limiti dei poteri affidatigli dal Congresso e l'Amministrazione è stata chiamata a restituire alle imprese il denaro già incassato. I nuovi dati del Tesoro mostrano per la prima volta l'entità dei rimborsi già effettuati. Dall'inizio dell'anno fiscale il governo ha restituito 81 miliardi di dollari, contro i circa 5 miliardi che vengono normalmente rimborsati ogni anno per contenziosi e rettifiche doganali. Approfondiamo il tema con Massimo Fabio, Partner KPMG, EMEA Regional Leader Trade & Customs services.

If you've ever found yourself scrambling for a pen on the plane to fill out one of those pesky paper cards before you reach Customs, fear not – after a two-year trial and much lobbying by the tourism industry, there will soon be a digital alternative to the Incoming Passenger Card (IPC). Rolling out over the next 12 to 18 months, the Australia Travel Declaration will make the bane of every groggy passenger's tray table a thing of the past, streamlining the border process and bringing Australia in line with other countries in the region and around the world. On this week's Australian Aviation Podcast, Jake and special guest host Hannah Dowling discuss the end of the paper IPC era, and what it will mean for passengers, airports, and government agencies. Plus, another big milestone for WSI with the arrival of its first freighter just two weeks from the official launch of commercial cargo flights.

Host: Lalo Solorzano Guest(s): Ashley Arnold Published: July 14, 2026 Length: 14:26 Presented by: Global Training Center Summary In this second July Tips episode, host Lalo Solorzano welcomes back Ashley Arnold for a timely conversation about CTPAT and why companies should not let their security programs sit untouched on a shelf. Ashley explains that CTPAT is becoming increasingly relevant again, especially in today's enforcement-focused trade environment. While many companies may already have a program in place, the real question is whether the procedures written in the manual are actually being followed on the warehouse floor, at the front desk, by security teams, and across the full supply chain. The conversation highlights the importance of reviewing and strengthening CTPAT programs, documenting actions, training personnel, and making sure employees understand the “why” behind security requirements. Lalo and Ashley also discuss how CTPAT connects to broader business functions such as logistics, procurement, finance, HR, IT, and cybersecurity. This episode is a practical reminder that CTPAT is not a one-time validation exercise. It is an ongoing partnership and a culture of security that requires attention, participation, and continuous improvement. Main Topic / Discussion This episode focuses on CTPAT and the importance of keeping security programs active, current, and understood throughout the organization. Ashley Arnold explains that companies should review whether their CTPAT manuals reflect what is actually happening in day-to-day operations. Lalo and Ashley discuss how training, audit trails, warehouse-level awareness, cybersecurity reviews, and cross-functional participation all support a stronger security profile. They also emphasize that CTPAT can provide real operational benefits, including stronger relationships with Customs, possible reduced exam risk, smoother cargo movement, and greater internal awareness of supply chain security responsibilities. Key Takeaways • CTPAT programs should be reviewed, updated, and actively used, not simply stored away for annual review. • Companies should make sure their written CTPAT procedures match what employees are actually doing. • Training matters because employees are more likely to follow security procedures when they understand the reason behind them. • CTPAT should involve multiple departments, including warehouse operations, HR, IT, logistics, procurement, finance, and trade compliance. • Cybersecurity is an important part of the broader supply chain security conversation. • The goal of CTPAT is not just passing validation once; it is building and maintaining a culture of security.

Host: Lalo Solorzano Published: July 10, 2026 Length: ~12 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary This week, Lalo Solorzano steps in behind the microphone while Cindy Allen enjoys a well-earned vacation—and instead of Taylor Swift, he's drawing inspiration from Metallica's "Sad But True." The title fits. Across CBP, the Department of Commerce, and the FTC, one message is becoming increasingly clear: trade compliance is becoming more data-driven, more electronic, and more demanding. From modernization initiatives and export controls to de minimis implementation and "Made in USA" enforcement, organizations are being expected to prove more, document more, and know more about every transaction. Rather than focusing on a single headline, this episode connects the dots between several regulatory developments to highlight a broader trend shaping the future of international trade. This Week in Trade CBP continues modernizing trade processes through expanded electronic filing initiatives, including e-bonds, export manifests, and vessel entry modernization. Rulemaking continues following the end of de minimis treatment, with new electronic filing requirements for informal entries and international mail shipments. CBP is evaluating additional importer identity verification requirements for customs brokers. The Department of Commerce continues advancing work on Section 232 actions, AD/CVD proceedings, and export control regulations. The FTC issued warning letters to companies regarding potentially improper "Made in USA" claims. Main Topic Although this week's news covers multiple agencies and regulatory actions, the underlying story is much larger than any one announcement. Lalo explains how CBP, Commerce, and the FTC are all moving toward the same objective: greater visibility into international trade through better data, stronger documentation, and increased accountability. Whether companies are filing customs entries, managing exports, making country-of-origin claims, or relying on e-commerce fulfillment models, compliance is becoming less about reacting to problems and more about demonstrating that internal controls, documentation, and processes are already in place. As Lalo puts it throughout the episode—"Sad but true." Key Takeaways Electronic filing and automation continue replacing paper-based trade processes. The post–de minimis environment requires greater attention to entry data and importer responsibilities. Companies should routinely evaluate potential AD/CVD exposure rather than relying solely on tariff classifications. Export compliance continues expanding into advanced technologies, software, AI, semiconductors, and biotechnology. "Made in USA" claims should be treated as compliance statements—not marketing slogans. Strong documentation and cross-functional collaboration are becoming competitive advantages.

Ravi Kapadia, who most recently lived in New Jersey, pleaded guilty last year in U.S. District Court in Chicago to a charge of conspiracy to defraud the United States and bring in jewelry from other nations by using false documents. ​Last month, a judge in Chicago sentenced Kapadia to ten months in federal prison, and to pay restitution to the United States. Kapadia was found guilty of evading more than $1.8 million in U.S. Customs duties.

Cruise News covers three developments across the industry. Holland America Line has revised three of its Zaandam Alaska sailings from Vancouver — departing July 15, August 19, and September 16, 2026 — adjusting departure times and dropping Tracy Arm Fjord service calls because of operating speeds and tidal constraints, including currents up to 15 knots at Seymour Narrows. In Vancouver, Canada Place projects a record cruise season, with roughly 290,000 passengers in July and an estimated 1.4 million across 360 calls in 2026, aided by facial-biometric processing that has cut U.S. Customs times to about 10 seconds. And six cruise ships remain on track for 2026 delivery, including Explora III, MSC World Asia, Adora Flora City, Seven Seas Prestige, Magellan Discoverer, and the hydrogen-powered Viking Libra.

Organizations are facing a new kind of security challenge: one defined by compressed timelines, emerging risks, expanding trust boundaries, and competing priorities. That urgency is only increasing. Recent White House Executive Orders make clear that quantum isn't a distant concern: the U.S. is accelerating quantum innovation while setting firm timelines to transition critical systems to post-quantum cryptography. In this episode, leaders from IBM, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and Entrust cut through the hype to focus on what matters now: where to prioritize, how to balance immediate risks with long-term transformation, and what it takes to prepare for a future where machines act autonomously and cryptographic trust must continuously evolve.

As China-Japan relations remain strained over Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's erroneous remarks on Taiwan and her administration's accelerated military buildup, Japan's economy is increasingly feeling the pinch, with critical mineral exports from China plunging, supply chains buckling under pressure and billions in potential GDP losses looming, experts said.专家表示，因日本首相高市早苗涉台错误言论及其政府加速扩军，中日关系持续紧张，日本经济承压加剧：中国关键矿产对日出口大幅下滑、供应链承压失灵，国内生产总值或将面临数百亿规模的潜在损失。What is truly pushing Japanese businesses into difficulty is not China's lawful measures to safeguard national security, but the systemic risks spawned by Japan's own misguided security trajectory, they added.专家补充称，真正让日本企业陷入困境的并非中国维护国家安全的合法举措，而是日本自身走偏的安保路线滋生出的系统性风险。According to the General Administration of Customs, China's exports of rare earth magnets to Japan plummeted 34.6 percent to 123 metric tons in May compared with April, while monthly shipments have remained below 200 metric tons for three consecutive months.海关总署数据显示，5月中国稀土永磁对日出口量环比大跌34.6%，仅123吨，对日月度出口量已连续三个月低于200吨。Since the start of 2026, China has banned shipments of dual-use items and technologies, including rare earth elements, to Japan. Such items and technologies have both civilian and military applications.2026年以来，中国已禁止向日本出口稀土等军民两用物项及相关技术，这类物资和技术可同时用于民用与军事领域。The ban came on the heels of a downward spiral in China-Japan relations, triggered by Takaichi's remarks and her administration's military-related moves.高市早苗相关言论及其政府一系列军事动作致使中日关系持续恶化，在此背景下中方出台上述出口禁令。China's tighter export controls have prompted Japan to take unprecedented steps. Recently, All-Nippon News Network reported that Japan has launched its first-ever program to extract rare earth elements from discarded household air-conditioners.中国收紧出口管制倒逼日本推出前所未有的应对举措。据全日本新闻网近期报道，日本首次启动从废旧家用空调中提取稀土的专项项目。Mitsubishi Electric, the Japanese company spearheading that recycling initiative, was added to China's export control list in late June for its involvement in defense electronics, radar and missile systems.牵头该回收项目的日本三菱电机，因涉足军工电子、雷达及导弹系统研发，于6月底被列入中国出口管制清单。The June decision, which imposed a total ban on dual-use item exports to 20 Japanese entities and implemented heightened scrutiny against 20 others, followed a similar decision in February that targeted 40 Japanese entities.今年2月中方已将40家日本机构纳入管制范围，6月新规进一步全面禁止向20家日本实体出口军民两用产品，并对另外20家实体实施从严审查。Shen Yi, a professor at Fudan University's School of International Relations and Public Affairs, said, "The Japanese government's bet that it can continue its military expansion and provocative rhetoric without paying a real price is doomed to fail."复旦大学国际关系与公共事务学院教授沈逸表示：“日本政府妄想一边持续扩军、发表挑衅言论，一边不用付出实质代价，这种盘算注定落空。”Shen noted that China accounts for roughly 70 percent of global rare earth mining and over 90 percent of smelting and separation capacity, giving the nation's policy tools the weight to alter Japanese corporate calculations.沈逸指出，中国稀土开采量约占全球70%，冶炼分离产能超全球90%，相关政策足以改变日本企业的经营布局。China boosts self-reliance中国加快产业链自主可控进程Experts said that Japan's attempts to leverage its edge in the semiconductor sector through potential export controls will ultimately prove futile, as foreign restrictions are only accelerating China's push for self-reliance, turning what was meant as a chokehold into a catalyst for domestic substitution.专家称，日本试图依托半导体优势实施出口限制的做法终将徒劳无功，外部打压反而加速中国自主研发，原本用来扼制中国的手段，反倒成为国产替代的助推力。For instance, there is "significant progress" in the domestic production potential of photoresist, the light-sensitive material essential for etching microscopic circuits onto silicon wafers, sources from leading Chinese chipmakers such as Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp and Huahong Group told China Daily.中芯国际、华虹集团等国内头部芯片企业相关人士向《中国日报》透露，用于在硅片上蚀刻微电路的感光材料光刻胶，国产量产能力已取得重大突破。Jiangsu Nata Opto-electronic Material Co, which developed one of China's first high-end deep ultraviolet photoresists, said the company's revenue from the product exceeded 10 million yuan ($1.5 million) in 2024, and it maintained a stable supply in 2025.国内首批高端深紫外光刻胶研发企业江苏南大光电表示，该产品2024年营收突破1000万元（折合150万美元），2025年实现稳定供货。According to data from Japanese research company Global Net, last year, three Chinese chip equipment manufacturers ranked among the world's top 20 by sales volume for the first time.日本调研机构环球网数据显示，去年有三家中国半导体设备厂商首次跻身全球销量前二十。This marks a sharp rise from just one company in 2022, prior to stricter restrictions imposed by the United States, underscoring China's accelerated progress in bolstering the domestic supply chain.对比美国出台严苛限制前的2022年仅有一家上榜，该数据大幅提升，凸显中国完善本土供应链的步伐持续加快。Roger Sheng, vice-president of research at US market research company Gartner, noted that the technological gap between Chinese companies and international industry leaders is continuously narrowing.美国市场研究机构高德纳研究副总裁盛陵海指出，中国企业与国际行业龙头之间的技术差距正在持续缩小。"This progress has provided strong support for domestic chip manufacturers in their technological upgrades and production expansion efforts, even amid restrictions on access to Japanese technology and equipment," Sheng said.盛陵海表示：“即便在日本相关技术与设备受限的环境下，上述技术突破仍为国内芯片厂商技术升级、扩产增效提供了有力支撑。”With the exception of lithography machines, domestic tools are now being increasingly used in Chinese semiconductor factories, he said, citing the example of Naura Technology becoming a key equipment provider for another Chinese company's advanced memory chips.他举例称，除光刻机以外，国产设备正大量应用于国内晶圆厂，北方华创已成为国内某企业先进存储芯片产线的核心设备供应商。erroneous /ɪˈrəʊniəs/错误的，不正确的plummet /ˈplʌmɪt/暴跌，大幅下降dual-use /ˌdjuːəl ˈjuːz/军民两用的photoresist /ˌfəʊtəʊrɪˈzɪst/光刻胶futile /ˈfjuːtaɪl/徒劳的，无效的lithography /lɪˈθɒɡrəfi/光刻（技术）

Ravi Kapadia, who most recently lived in New Jersey, pleaded guilty last year in U.S. District Court in Chicago to a charge of conspiracy to defraud the United States and bring in jewelry from other nations by using false documents. ​Last month, a judge in Chicago sentenced Kapadia to ten months in federal prison, and to pay restitution to the United States. Kapadia was found guilty of evading more than $1.8 million in U.S. Customs duties.

Host: Lalo Solorzano Guest(s): Ashley Arnold Published: July 8, 2026 Length: 11:26 Presented by: Global Training Center Summary What do the World Cup, Beyoncé's world tour, and international trade compliance have in common? More than most people realize. In this July Tips episode of Simply Trade, host Lalo Solorzano welcomes Ashley Arnold as the featured tips instructor for the month. Together, they connect major global events, concerts, soccer tournaments, trade shows, and traveling equipment to one important compliance tool: the ATA Carnet. Ashley explains how ATA Carnets work like a “product passport” for goods that temporarily enter a country and then leave again. From cameras and stage equipment to trade show booths and production gear, these items are not being sold, but they still cross borders and need proper documentation. Instead of paying duties and taxes and later trying to recover them, companies can use a carnet to simplify temporary importation. This episode makes a technical trade topic practical, timely, and easy to understand by showing how compliance plays a role behind the scenes of entertainment, sports, events, and business travel. Main Topic / Discussion This episode focuses on ATA Carnets and how they support temporary international movement of goods. Ashley Arnold explains that when equipment travels internationally but is not sold and must return home, an ATA Carnet can help avoid unnecessary duties, taxes, and documentation burdens. Using examples like the World Cup, Beyoncé's world tour, international camera equipment, stage gear, and trade show booths, Lalo and Ashley show how global events depend on trade compliance. They also clarify that items intended to stay in the destination country, such as promotional giveaways or merchandise for sale, generally do not belong on a carnet. Key Takeaways • ATA Carnets are useful for goods that temporarily enter another country and return home. • Carnets can help avoid paying duties and taxes upfront and then trying to recover them later. • Not everything crossing a border is for retail sale, and that distinction matters in trade compliance. • Carnets are commonly used for cameras, stage equipment, trade show booths, and other event-related gear. • Promotional items, giveaways, merchandise for sale, and goods that will remain abroad generally should not be placed on a carnet. • Customs brokers and specialized carnet service providers can help companies determine when and how to use one.

After a quick check on the Nina Totenberg embargo kerfuffle and one more revelation from Justice Thomas's memoir, we devote the episode to Chatrie v. United States, the Court's first major Fourth Amendment decision in years. We trace how the geofence-warrant ruling builds on — and goes beyond — Katz, United States v. Jones, and Carpenter v. United States, and what's left of the third-party doctrine and the mosaic theory. Will explains the positive law model of the Fourth Amendment; Dan tries to claim Justice Gorsuch's separate opinion for his general-law approach. We close with the dissents, the advisory-opinion objection, and whether the Court should be saying more about the Fourth Amendment or less about everything. Along the way: Venmo heroin deals, smart microwaves, whether Will has genuinely forgotten his passcode, and a field-trip assignment for Chicagoland listeners.Highlights[00:00:21] Cold open: three recording sessions in three days, and the theories swirling around the Nina Totenberg screw-up[00:02:04] Justice Alito's embargo story: the press-room idea he liked until he learned they have to let the journalists out of the room[00:03:04] My Grandfather's Son follow-up: Justice Thomas's over-cautious marijuana confession[00:04:35] Cleanup-order watch: GVRs still owed in light of Slaughter, Landor, and B.P.J.[00:04:57] The main event: Chatrie v.

Fitzhugh Brundage, author of A Fate Worse Than Hell, explains that prisoner exchanges were based on 18th-century European customs that sought to prevent the execution or enslavement of captured enemies. Armies used a calculus to trade soldiers, such as equating one colonel to twenty privates to ensure equity. When capture numbers were uneven, the parole system allowed surplus soldiers to return home on the condition they not fight until formally exchanged. This formalized process aimed to keep warfare humane and efficient for both sides until political tensions arose. (2)1865

Host: Cindy Allen Published: July 3, 2026 Length: ~15 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary This week on Simply Trade: Cindy's Version, Cindy Allen unpacks another busy week in international trade, covering updates on CAPE refunds, post-summary correction payments, Section 232 investigations, the future of USMCA, and a major Department of Justice settlement involving Alibaba. Using Taylor Swift's "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" as this week's theme, Cindy explores a broader question facing the trade community: Where should responsibility begin—and where should it end? As government enforcement expands beyond importers to brokers, online marketplaces, and other supply chain participants, the episode examines how increased accountability may reshape global trade while raising important questions about fairness, due diligence, and practical implementation. This Week in Trade Members of Congress urged USTR to allow the current Jones Act waiver to expire as scheduled. The Department of Commerce launched a new Section 232 investigation involving certain coal imports. Beginning August 5, CBP will require ACH payments for duties owed on Post-Summary Corrections. CAPE continues expanding, including refund eligibility for qualifying reconciliation entries, while CBP reported significant processing progress. The United States formally initiated the USMCA withdrawal process, beginning the review and renegotiation timeline. The Department of Justice announced a $600 million settlement with Alibaba related to alleged violations of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Main Topic The episode's central discussion focuses on the growing trend of expanding legal responsibility across the supply chain. Using the Alibaba settlement as an example, Cindy explores whether online marketplaces, customs brokers, and other intermediaries are increasingly being held accountable for actions traditionally associated with manufacturers or importers. She compares this trend to recent customs enforcement initiatives that place greater expectations on brokers and service providers to identify and report potential violations. The discussion raises an important question for trade professionals: How much responsibility can reasonably be placed on parties who facilitate commerce but may not own, manufacture, or control the products themselves? Key Takeaways CBP continues refining the CAPE refund process as filings increase. ACH payments will soon become mandatory for duties owed on Post-Summary Corrections. USMCA has officially entered its formal review and withdrawal process. The Alibaba settlement signals expanding government expectations for e-commerce platforms. Customs enforcement continues moving toward broader supply chain accountability. Companies throughout the supply chain should expect increasing due diligence expectations.

Adam's on the front porch watching one of those Oklahoma sunsets that make you forgive the state for everything else. Dave pulls up. Walks toward the house, chest out, confident, ready to record. Adam asks the only question that matters: did you bring the equipment? He did not. New baby syndrome. Joshua got his first bath that night, Lady Pamela's still on the mend and bending over a tub isn't on the menu yet, and somewhere between bathing the kids and getting out the door, the recording gear stayed home. So Dave logged a solid hour of windshield time driving back and forth across town to fetch it. The baby's worth it. Six days old and already back to birth weight, sleeping three hours at a stretch, an almost unfairly easy kid for a man who's had colicky ones before.The pour is a curveball: Saltire, a 14-year independent bottling distilled at Tomar, a first-fill Oloroso sherry cask. It's a Speyside, but nobody at the table would've guessed it. It drinks salty, like saltwater taffy, like it grew up near the ocean. The notes promise polished leather, dried cherries, tobacco, and, if you add water, burnt sugar, hazelnut, and "speckled chocolate milk," a phrase that derailed the conversation for a solid minute because nobody could agree what speckled chocolate milk is supposed to be. Cheers to Jesus. We're on the winning side.Then Adam reaches past the planned backbiting episode, grabs Francis Weiser's Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs off the shelf, and lands on something better: the Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, June 24th.Here's the hook that got him. The Church only celebrates three birthdays. Jesus. Our Lady. And John the Baptist. Everybody else gets honored on the day they die, because for a saint that's the real birthday, the day they enter eternal life. So why John? The tradition says all three were born free from original sin. John wasn't conceived without it like Jesus and Mary, but he was sanctified in the womb when he leapt at the sound of Our Lady's voice at the Visitation. Born clean. St. Augustine treats it as a settled tradition, and if the Fathers are in, the guys are in.The logic of the date is the part that'll stick with you. June 24th rides the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, and from there the light starts to wane all the way down to Christmas and the winter solstice, when it turns and climbs again. John said it himself: I must decrease, so that He must increase. That's not just a calendar coincidence. It's a map of the soul. The more room you take up in your own heart, the less there is for Christ. If you want Him to be king there, you've got to get out of the way.Then the fun: how to actually live it. Put it on the calendar and get to Mass. Pray the Benedictus as a family and light a candle. Build a bonfire on the eve, John the Baptist is one of the three fires on the Catholic year. Feed the kids honey sticks and, if you're brave, dried crickets, locusts and wild honey, desert food. Make it the anchor of your summer. This is the Establish pillar in the flesh, the small traditions that hand your kids an identity they'll carry for life. Catholic spice.

What kind of a reaction should you expect when you wire your military vehicles for music? Is it possible for the Guard to help at a base and everything goes well?  Find out, the answers to these questions and more on this weeks "sode" of The Cammo Comedy Show Podcast!If you have any funny military stories of your own that you would like to share, drop us a line at:stories@cammocomedy.com  or  Leave a voicemail at (531) 222-6146  Sadly, the voicemail will only record in 2 minute blocksWe are here to make you laugh, but behind this there is the imbedded philosophy of, "No One Left Behind." Sadly, 22 vets per day commit suicide, approximately 67,500 vets are homeless and thousands struggle with everyday life after service.  What we hope to accomplish is providing a fun place to gather that will have a similar feel to the conversations that happen at the VFW or American Legion between vets.  Since the latest generations of vets are not really going to these places anymore, we are making it happen online.  We believe that the sense of community will help some who struggle, while providing stories about the good times that we can all laugh at!An additional part of this show is capturing the oral history of the military over the past few decades, so if you happen to know a veteran who served during WW2, Korean War or Vietnam eras, we would love to hear from them.  Obviously, we want to hear stories from all eras, but we have special respect for the older generations.  Our Sponsors #Sponsors  Patriot Mobile Get one free month of service when you make the switch to Patriot Mobile and use Promo Code "WOLF"   https://patriotmobile.com/partners/wolfPatriot Mobile donates a portion of every dollar earned to organizations that fight for causes you care about.Patriot Mobile has exceptional 4G & 5G nationwide coverage and uses all the same towers the main carriers use.Patriot Mobile offers a Contract Buy-Out.
