Host: Cindy Allen Published: October 3, 2025 Length: ~13 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center The Life of a Trade Girl: Shutdowns, Tariffs, and the Struggle of Country of Origin In this week's episode, Cindy Allen draws inspiration from Taylor Swift's brand-new album The Life of a Show Girl—and reimagines it as The Life of a Trade Girl. With new Section 232 tariffs on lumber, cabinets, and vanities, plus looming duties on pharmaceuticals and medical devices, Cindy unpacks why navigating layered tariffs and multiple country-of-origin rules has trade professionals feeling the weight of confusion. From the ongoing government shutdown to CBP's enforcement posture and the uncertainty surrounding free trade agreements, this episode highlights both the resilience and the frustration of today's trade community. What You'll Learn in This Episode: How the current government shutdown is affecting CBP operations and other government agencies New Section 232 duties effective October 14 on lumber, kitchen cabinets, and vanities The administration's delayed rollout of 232 duties on pharmaceuticals and medical devices The role of exemptions for companies breaking ground on U.S. manufacturing facilities Why brand-name vs. generic pharmaceuticals will matter for tariff application How Ireland and Switzerland could be most affected by pharmaceutical tariffs The growing complexity of country-of-origin determinations across: • HTS reporting • Free trade agreement qualification • Section 232 applicability • Multi-layered duties on aluminum and steel Why brokers and importers are struggling with multiple overlapping tariff annexes Key Takeaways: CBP trade processing is continuing with minimal disruption despite the shutdown, though delays may occur with other government agency inspections. Importers face new uncertainty as layered tariffs create multiple, conflicting country-of-origin determinations. Pharmaceutical tariffs remain unclear, but exemptions may apply for U.S.-based or expanding manufacturers. Ireland and Switzerland are key pharmaceutical exporters likely to be heavily impacted. Customs brokers must navigate increasingly complex 232 annexes, requiring spreadsheets and case-by-case analysis.

Host: Annik Sobing Guest: Manuel Muñiz – Global Trade Expert Published: September 29, 2025 Length: ~37 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Mexico Aligns With the U.S. on Customs Reform In this Roundup episode, host Annik Sobing welcomes Manuel Muñiz, an expert in global trade, to unpack President Claudia Sheinbaum's ambitious 2026 proposals for Mexican customs reform. These reforms, introduced as part of the 2026 economic package, aim to reshape tariff codes, increase compliance obligations, and strengthen Mexico's alignment with the United States. Together, Annik and Manuel discuss what these sweeping changes mean for importers, customs brokers, and international businesses navigating U.S.-Mexico trade. From increased penalties to tariff hikes on over 1,300 products, this conversation offers a timely look at what companies should expect as Mexico seeks to tighten compliance and revenue collection. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why Mexico is reforming its customs and tariff laws in 2026. How customs brokers' responsibilities and liabilities will expand. What businesses importing from China should prepare for under the new tariff regime. The potential impact of higher penalties for misclassification and noncompliance. How these reforms tie into the upcoming 2026 USMCA renegotiation. Key Takeaways: Mexico is aligning customs and tariff policies more closely with the U.S. ahead of USMCA renegotiations. Customs brokers will face greater accountability for ensuring accurate declarations. Importers could see penalties of up to 300% of the goods' value for violations. Roughly 1,371 tariff codes will be affected, with duties rising between 10% and 50%. Businesses need to prepare now with compliance programs, technology, and proactive supply chain strategies.

Host: Cindy Allen Published: September 26, 2025 Length: ~15 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center 22: Confusion, Change, and Community in Trade This week, Cindy Allen — the Taylor Swift of Trade — channels 22 from the Red album to reflect on a trade environment that feels happy, free, confused, and lonely all at the same time. From new Section 232 tariffs announced by the Trump administration to the ripple effects on pharmaceuticals, trucks, furniture, and cabinetry, Cindy breaks down what these measures mean for importers, customs brokers, and compliance teams. She also highlights the EU deal implementation, the role of trade associations, and the looming Supreme Court case over IEEPA tariffs. At the same time, Cindy reminds trade professionals of the importance of staying connected and leaning on the trade community as we navigate rapid changes together. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Details of the Trump administration's latest Section 232 tariffs: • 100% on branded drugs (with exceptions for U.S. manufacturing) • 25% on heavy trucks • 50% on kitchen cabinets and bath vanities • 30% on upholstered furniture Why generics from India and China were not included in the new duties The pharmaceutical trade role of Ireland and Switzerland The EU trade deal rollout and CBP's reliance on Chapter 99 numbers How limited government communication impacts brokers and importers Why joining NCBFAA, AAEI, or ICPA helps importers and brokers stay informed Updates on the IEEPA Supreme Court case and its potential impact on tariff policy Key Takeaways: Importers must prepare for higher duties on pharmaceuticals, trucks, furniture, and cabinetry. CBP's use of Chapter 99 numbers provides technical implementation but leaves policy questions unresolved. Switzerland and Ireland remain critical players in pharmaceutical imports — and targets for tariff discussions. Trade associations are vital for getting timely answers and shaping FAQs. The IEEPA Supreme Court case could reshape tariff authority and compliance strategies.

Is Palantir a sinister surveillance giant — or the gold standard in mission-critical software? In this episode of One Decision, hosts Christina Ruffini and ex-MI6 Chief Sir Richard Dearlove speak with Lauren Penneys, Palantir SVP , to separate fact from fiction. She discusses the firm's rise from post-9/11 intelligence work to the front lines of Ukraine and Israel, Britain's National Health Service (NHS), and its controversial work with U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE). They also explore Palantir's wider role in defense, intelligence, and healthcare, and whether artificial intelligence will magnify both the promise — and the risks — of its technology.

In this 15th episode of the Ask Away series on the Everyday Judaism Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe addresses two questions related to Jewish practices surrounding death and repentance. Responding to Marilyn Robinson's question about prayers at a loved one's gravesite, Rabbi Wolbe explains the custom of reciting Psalm 119, using the letters of the deceased's name (and sometimes their parents' names) to select verses, followed by Kaddish with a minyan for its protective power over the soul. He emphasizes that Kaddish acknowledges Hashem's mastery, helping cleanse the soul from worldly distractions during the temporary purgatory process, which is not eternal except for the truly wicked. Personal prayers or conversations at the gravesite are valid for healing, but one should not pray to the deceased, only asking them to intercede with Hashem. Addressing the second question about Selichot timing, Rabbi Wolbe notes that Sephardic Jews begin Selichot at the start of Elul, following Moshe's ascent for the second tablets, marked by daily shofar blowing to prevent sin, while Ashkenazic Jews start a week or four days before Rosh Hashanah, depending on the calendar. Both communities recite Selichot during the Ten Days of Repentance, aligning with the period of seeking forgiveness, which Hashem grants readily upon sincere request, unlike human grudges. Rabbi Wolbe encourages learning from Hashem's forgiving nature and invites further questions for future episodes.In this episode of Ask Away we address these questions and topics:Marilyn: What is a prayer you recite at a loved one's gravesite?Carlos: Why do some start Selichot one month before Rosh Hashanah and others 10 days or a week before?Please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #60) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

Customs duties on imported goods used to be a crucial part of US government funding – in fact, the customs service was among the first federal agencies set up after the constitution. Now, Trump is hoping that – among other things – tariffs could transform the US budget. But do the revenues they raise for government coffers help outweigh their negative economic impacts? Martha Gimbel, executive director of the Budget Lab at Yale and former adviser at the White House Council of Economic Advisers, speaks to Claire Jones, the FT's US economics editor.Claire Jones is US economics editor.

Birthright citizenship is a fundamental right that has been enshrined in the Constitution for over 150 years. In the wake of the federal government's assault on this core principle, Assemblymember Alex Lee authored legislation affirming the California Legislature's commitment to birthright citizenship. Assembly Joint Resolution (AJR) 5 passed the Senate Floor on September 2, and heads to the Assembly Floor for a final vote. On his first day in office, Trump issued an executive order to deny citizenship for children of non-citizen parents. The order, which remains blocked by legal challenges, would strip an entire class of people of the right to vote, work lawfully, access federal benefits, and many other basic rights. It is estimated that 153,000 children nationwide, including 24,500 in California, would see their right to citizenship eliminated if the federal government implemented the executive order. “Birthright citizenship is a bedrock of the American Dream,” said Assemblymember Lee. “We cannot let one President and his cronies abuse their federal powers, undo our long-standing civil rights laws, and redefine who becomes a citizen. AJR 5 shows the nation that the California State Legislature is committed to defending birthright citizenship, and the deep-rooted legal precedent set by the landmark Supreme Court case of Wong Kim Ark.” Birthright citizenship is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment, which was ratified in 1868 following the Civil War. It ensured those who were formerly enslaved the right to citizenship and states: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” Decades later, the Supreme Court Case of U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark in 1898 affirmed birthright citizenship to all those born in the U.S. During a period of anti-Asian racism, San Francisco-born Wong Kim Ark was prohibited from reentering the United States after traveling to China to visit family. Customs agents claimed he was not a citizen because his parents were unable to naturalize and ordered him to be deported. With legal support from the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association of San Francisco, he took his case to the Supreme Court and won. In commemoration of the 127th anniversary of the case, AJR 5 honors Wong Kim Ark's fight for the fundamental right of birthright citizenship, and the legacy that he leaves behind. The bill is sponsored by Chinese for Affirmative Action.
Borders may be invisible to most shoppers, but for businesses, they often mean delays, extra costs, and reams of paperwork. And amid Trump's trade war, global trade is now faster and more complex than ever. Those new pressures have sparked a boom in new "customs tech" companies promising to speed things up. The BBC's Leanna Byrne reports.

The BBC's Leanna Byrne reports.
When tariffs on goods from China reached 145 percent, a cargo ship carrying tens of thousands of dollars worth of dog toys arrived in Los Angeles but was not unloaded. The toys remained on the ship as it sailed to New York City, in the hope that the tariffs would be lifted by the time it arrived. Had that plan failed, the entire cargo might have been destroyed. This was the kind of costly decision businesses have been facing during the trade war.Behind every one of these desperate business decisions usually stands a customs broker. They're the pros who know how to navigate the maze of international trade rules. But when Trump launched his trade war, their world got turned inside out.Their job went from filing forms and calculating duties to decoding confusing, exhaustive orders with 24 hours' notice. It also means delivering devastating news to business owners about mind-boggling new tariffs. In Julia Pagel's documentary, she talks to customs brokers who have been on the front lines of this evolving trade war.Produced by Julia Pagel and Joan Webber. The documentary first aired on The Sunday Magazine in June of 2025.Storylines is part of the CBC Audio Doc Unit

Host: Cindy Allen Published: September 12, 2025 Length: ~15 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center I Can Do It With a Broken Heart: Trade Updates, 9/11 Reflections, and DHS Reorganization In this week's episode, Cindy Allen takes inspiration from Taylor Swift's I Can Do It With a Broken Heart to unpack trade updates, court battles, and the lasting impact of 9/11 on U.S. trade and security policy. From the Supreme Court's decision to hear the IEEPA reciprocal tariff case to ongoing discussions about reorganizing DHS and CBP, Cindy brings clarity to complex trade issues—all while reflecting on the transformation of trade and security programs born in the aftermath of 9/11. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Supreme Court to hear the IEEPA reciprocal tariffs challenge in November What a potential importer refund process could look like Section 122 as a possible bridge tool for duty assessments Why Section 232, 301, and fentanyl duties remain unaffected by the IEEPA case How 9/11 reshaped trade: CTPAT, Importer Security Filing, TSA, and DHS itself Current discussions on reorganizing DHS and Customs & Border Protection The possible merging of the Office of Trade and Office of Field Operations Key Takeaways: Importers must prepare for ongoing duty assessments, even if refund pathways open. The IEEPA case could significantly impact Treasury revenues and the federal deficit. 9/11 transformed international trade security programs, many still in place today. DHS reorganization could change how CBP balances trade enforcement and duty collection. Leadership alignment at CBP offers cautious optimism for the future of trade policy.

Host: Lalo Solorzano Guest: Elena Ryan, Special Advisor, CBP Published: September 11, 2025 Length: ~42 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center In this special episode, Lalo sits down with Elena Ryan of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to unpack the details of the new continuing education requirement for Licensed Customs Brokers. Elena walks through how the program came to life, what the triennial cycle means, and why CBP designed the credit system to balance rigor with accessibility. From free training opportunities to the role of accreditors, this conversation offers brokers and training providers a clear look into what compliance will mean through 2027. You'll also hear how CBP is working with industry to ensure flexibility, transparency, and professionalization of the broker community. What You'll Learn in This Episode: How CBP's continuing education requirement for brokers came into effect What the triennial cycle is and how the 2025–2027 cycle works The role of the five private accreditors + CBP in assigning credit How free and low-cost training options (including CBP webinars) fit in Why continuing education strengthens the professionalization of customs brokers Key Takeaways: Brokers must complete 20 credits for the current 2025–2027 cycle (instead of 36). CBP emphasized accessibility: credits can come from private providers, associations, and free CBP/OGA webinars. Accreditors ensure fair credit assignment, but brokers themselves must track their education for audits. National permits and automation have transformed broker operations, making education more important than ever. Continuing education puts brokers on par with other licensed professions, raising the bar for the industry.

For years, international toy sellers had a semi-secret shortcut to ship goods under $800 tariff free. That shortcut? Gone. And if you're not prepared, your business could feel it fast. As of August 29th, the De Minimis Exemption was officially eliminated for many international shipments to the U.S. The change, quietly confirmed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, caused immediate disruption. Over 25 countries (including the UK, Germany, and Japan) paused shipments to reassess compliance. Platforms like Temu and Wish began overhauling logistics, while DTC creators abroad faced surprise duties, delays, and frustrated customers.In this episode of Making It in the Toy Industry, I'm breaking down what the end of the De Minimis Exemption actually means for creators like you. This change isn't just about shipping fees and forms, it's about who wins, who loses, and how you can thrive in a newly leveled playing field.Using a mind map, I'll guide you through the four big areas impacted by this shift: the immediate chaos it's caused, what strategies and tools are suddenly more valuable, what old tricks are now holding brands back, and who's rising to the top as this new landscape takes shape.This episode is a wake-up call and a strategic roadmap, all in one.Listen for These Important Moments:[00:09:12] - Avoid tariffs and delays. Warehousing in the U.S. now gives you speed, savings, and a serious competitive edge.[00:11:53] - New customs rules are hitting Temu and Shein hard, giving legit brands room to shine and reclaim their sales.[00:21:00] - Stable SKUs and digital add-ons help offset costs and keep products flowing under new import rules.[00:25:50] - Solo sellers outside the U.S. now face bigger delays and thinner margins. Without a warehouse, you're stuck.[00:29:54] - U.S.-based creators, brands with warehousing, and fulfillment partners are leading the pack.Send The Toy Coach Fan Mail!Support the showPopular Masterclass!

ICE now has the biggest budget of any law enforcement agency in America.“ICE and Customs and Border Protection have long been the most rogue, kind of renegade and certainly pro-Trump police agencies in the federal government,” explained Radley Balko, a journalist who's covered policing for decades. “What I think we are seeing right now is Trump is attempting to build his own paramilitary force. They want people whose first, ultimate loyalty in this job is going to be to the president.”Balko is the author of “Rise of the Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America's Police Forces.” And he's been tracking the changes at ICE and the Trump administration's escalating law-and-order tactics on his excellent newsletter, The Watch.Mentioned:“ICE's Mind-Bogglingly Massive Blank Check” by Caitlin Dickerson“The police militarization debate is over” by Radley BalkoBook Recommendations:The Highest Law in the Land by Jessica PishkoUnruly by David MitchellBottoms Up and the Devil Laughs by Kerry HowleyThoughts?

Source: theconservativetreehouse.com Report: Trump Administration in Talks to Buy Stake in Intel to Produce High-Tech American Jobs The Trump administration is reportedly in discussions to buy a stake in beleaguered chipmaker Intel to help shore up the company's delayed factory project in Ohio, according to people familiar with the plan. Bloomberg reports that in a sign of the White House's increasing willingness to intervene directly in key industries, the Trump administration is in talks with Intel about buying a stake in the struggling semiconductor giant. According to people familiar with the deliberations, the move aims to bolster Intel's planned factory hub in Ohio, which has been repeatedly delayed. The discussions follow a meeting this week between President Donald Trump and Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, whom Trump had previously accused of being “highly conflicted” due to concerns about his ties to China. The potential stake size remains unclear as plans are still fluid and could end without an agreement.
