Welcome back Jeremy Page, renowned trade attorney and partner at Page Fura Law Firm, a leading expert in international trade compliance. With decades of experience navigating the complex world of global trade regulations, Jeremy brings unparalleled insights into tariff strategies, customs enforcement, and supply chain challenges.

Whether you're an import-export professional, small business owner, or simply curious about how global trade affects everyday prices, Jeremy breaks down complex trade policies into digestible, actionable insights. "These companies were barely absorbing 25% tariffs. They operate on very small margins. Steel, aluminum at 50% - I mean, they were barely absorbent if that ... they don't have market leverage, and they don't have the built-in capital to either absorb these costs or bring production back here. There should be a floor below which these tariffs don't apply for certain types of companies, because smaller companies are always the growth industry." - Jeremy Page The current complex and rapidly changing trade environment, businesses must: Involve trade compliance experts early in strategic planning Build a multi-functional, educated team that understands trade complexities Be cautious of quick "creative" solutions that might lead to compliance risks Stay informed about nuanced regulatory changes Recognize that compliance is no longer just a cost center, but a strategic business function Contact Jeremy: website - https://pagefura.com/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremy-page-40b4aa6/ In the midst of all this chaos, education is your best ally.

We've invited E-commerce Expert, Marianne Rowden to break down the complexities of what it means for customs, international trade, and YOU -- the consumer. Main Points/Takeaways: E-commerce and De Minimis Overview: - E-commerce represents the "democratization of global trade" - De minimis allows low-value shipments to enter countries with reduced customs processing - Historical threshold progression: $1 (1930s) → $5 → $200 → $800 (2016) Key Changes and Implications: - As of May 2, significant changes to de minimis rules are happening - China's low-cost shipments through de minimis will be significantly impacted - CBP currently processes 4 million de minimis shipments daily (up from 1 million in 2018) Standout Insights: - E-commerce flipped traditional trade model by allowing buyers to find sellers easily - Trade's biggest barrier is complexity of importing/exporting - COVID-19 dramatically accelerated e-commerce adoption Notable Quote: "E-commerce represented the democratization of global trade. It allowed small and medium sized companies to sell their products around the world." - Marianne Rowden Strategic Considerations: - Businesses need to understand evolving cross-border shipping regulations - Cost-benefit analysis of customs processing is needed - Postal and direct-to-consumer shipping channels are changing Potential Future Actions: - CBP likely to issue interim final rule in June/July - More scrutiny on international low-value shipments expected #Ecommerce #GlobalTrade #DeMinimis #TradePolicy #InternationalBusiness #CBP #OnlineShopping Connect with our Expert: Marianne Rowden LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marianne-rowden-43456110/ Website: https://www.emtc.org/ Other Articles/Sources Mentioned: Join EMTC's Open Forum on Tariffs In the midst of all this chaos, education is your best ally.
