Importers and brokers are trying to decipher the curious language of the in-transit exception to the IEEPA tariffs. Here's what we have divined.

Why I'm so excited about the tariffs You may be thinking I'm a little bit crazy or blind to what is happening now, but I really wish people would be a little more patient and give this a few months to see the benefits. I want to remind people that the path we were on could've led to a collapse just like the great Roman Empire in 476 A.D. The United States in 2024 helped other countries grow their economies by sending them over $1 trillion in trade, not even close to fair trade and that is money we will never see again. Also in 2024, we saw our national debt climb to $35.5 trillion, an increase of roughly $2.5 trillion dollars in just one year! If that continued for the next 10 years, we would have debt of nearly $60 trillion, which would be unsustainable. Let's not even talk about the interest payments on a debt level that high. What is already starting to happen is not the foreign countries, but rather the foreign companies themselves want to continue to be profitable and understand they must produce and be located in the United States. Companies like Siemens from Germany, Taiwan semiconductor and Foxconn along with others have already made huge financial commitments that will benefit their companies and also our country as well. As the days, weeks, and months pass along, I believe you will be hearing about more companies coming to the United States. I believe immigration will also change because we simply do not have enough workers to fulfill all these new jobs. This could lead these foreign companies to bring their workers along, which would make them part of the US consumer base that buys houses, cars, and simple things like go to the grocery store and go out to dinner and even get haircuts. This is quite a bit different from the problems we have with immigration now as it has become a big burden on the US economy. I believe this would create a major win for our country, please be patient!   Good luck if you are trying to time the market If you have sold out of strong companies at good valuations during this market pullback, I believe you have made a huge mistake. As I have said there will be positive news that comes about and moves the market higher, which then leaves you with the question of what do you do now? Get back in? Wait for it to pull back? These trading mistakes can cost you immensely in the long run. I was surprised to see that going back over the last 20 years, seven of the top 10 days in stocks came within a two-week period of the worst 10 days. Which means many people that sold during the worst 10 days likely also missed those great days and the eventual recovery. A great example showing how quickly the tide can turn came on Wednesday after the announcement that there will be a 90-day pause on the full effect of tariffs since more than 75 countries have contacted US officials to negotiate a solution. There was also news that there is an “on the water clause” for cargo entering the US ports. This means any cargo “loaded onto a vessel at the port of loading and in transit on the final mode of transport on or after 12:01 a.m. EDT April 5, 2025, and before 12:01 a.m. EDT April 9, 2025, and (2) are entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, before 12:01 a.m. EDT on May 27 2025, are subject to the 10% additional rate in lieu of the country-specific rate of duty.” This is important as it will give companies more time to plan for elevated tariffs. These announcements led to a huge gain in stocks with the Dow climbing 7.87% on the day and the S&P 500 climbing 9.52%. The thing that surprised me was many companies that have China ties also rebounded substantially, but the tariff charged to China will be 125%, effective immediately. I'd be careful buying the dip here on all companies, but the important point I want to show is that the tide can turner quicker than you think!   How does the United States collect tariffs? It is quite the system and it's not as simple as a country/importer sending a check to the United States. The US doesn't do the calculation for every shipment that comes into the country. No matter how it comes in, if it is by truck, plane or ships the country doing the importing is the one that calculates the tariffs and sometimes they use what are known as customs brokers to do the calculation for them. It may surprise you that it is somewhat on the honor system. Before a shipment approaches the border, the importer or the customs broker files electronically the paperwork and says what they are bringing and how much they owe. When the ship pulls into port, the information is reviewed by customs agents before they allow the goods to be unloaded and released. It is kind of like when we file our tax returns. It is on the honor system that you put in all the correct information and just like you may be audited on your tax return, customs do perform random inspections to verify what is being brought in and that the tariff amount is correct. Importers have an account with customs and pay the duties to them. If they use a licensed customs broker, then that broker would make the payment. After all this is completed, whoever imported the goods has 10 days to pay the duties. The penalties are pretty hefty if the importer does not pay within 10 days as they will be hit with admin fees, interest, and other penalties along with the biggest concern which would be suspension of deliveries to the United States. I would definitely say it is in the best interest pf these importers to pay the United States customs within 10 days.   China may look at other avenues to hurt the US in this trade war I've said this before, but the tariffs on Chinese goods hurts them more than their tariffs on our goods. The simple math on it is the U.S. exported $143.5 billion of goods to China in 2024, while importing products worth $438.9 billion. Trade is way more important to their economy considering the fact they are a net exporter and a large one at that. In 2024, China exported roughly $3.58 trillion worth of goods, while importing just $2.59 trillion worth of goods for a surplus around $1 trillion. This makes trade a huge part of GDP as net exports contribute around 20% of GDP. The US on the other hand is a net importer so our trade deficit actually subtracts from GDP. What else can China do to harm the US? China did issue an alert warning its citizens of the potential risk of traveling to the US and attending schools there. Although there were approximately 1.6 million Chinese tourists that visited the US in 2024 and more than 250,000 students enrolled in schools, I don't see this advisory as too problematic especially considering there was an estimated 77.7 million people from other countries that visited the US in 2024. The big concern people have is China selling our debt to drive up borrowing costs. I was disappointed by an article that said China could crush our housing market by selling mortgage-backed securities. Seemed a little dramatic to me considering foreign countries only owned 15% of the total outstanding mortgage-backed securities. Top owners did include China, Japan, Taiwan, and Canada, but I don't see those other players selling at this point in time to harm US markets. It appears China holds just around 2-3% of these mortgage-backed securities and has been selling them over time with holdings down 8.7% year over year in the month of September and down 20% by the start of December. Even looking more broadly at U.S. treasury securities, China owned just $760.8 billion as of January 2025, which would represent about 2.2% of the total U.S. federal debt. Be careful falling for click bait, as I don't believe China has the ability to “crush” our housing market. It would likely cause interest rates to increase slightly, but an outright crash would be extremely unlikely. Overall, while this trade war may hurt us, I still firmly believe it will have a far larger negative impact on the Chinese economy!   Why You Should Never Buy a Certificate of Deposit (CD) Again For decades, certificates of deposit (CDs) have been a go-to option for savers looking to earn a little extra interest while keeping their money safe. However, in today's financial landscape, CDs have become nearly obsolete, offering little to no advantages over more flexible and higher-yielding alternatives. One of the biggest drawbacks of CDs is their lack of liquidity. When you lock your money into a CD, you typically agree to keep it there for months or years. Withdrawing early results in penalties, often forfeiting several months' worth of interest. High-yield savings accounts, on the other hand, offer similar or even better interest rates while allowing you to withdraw funds at any time. Many online banks now offer savings accounts with yields that rival or exceed CD rates, giving you the best of both worlds: competitive returns and unrestricted access to your money. Another option is U.S. Treasury Bills (T-Bills) which are one of the best alternatives to CDs, offering higher returns with even greater security. Backed by the U.S. government, they are virtually risk-free and often yield more than CDs of similar durations. Additionally, T-Bills offer tax advantages, as the interest earned is exempt from state and local income taxes—something CDs cannot provide.  Money market accounts provide another strong alternative to CDs. They often have rates similar to or higher than CDs but come with added flexibility and liquidity. Additionally, money market funds that hold federal or municipal debt come with some tax-exempt income as well.  CDs may seem like a safe, simple choice, but in reality, they are an outdated savings vehicle that rarely makes financial sense anymore. Whether you choose a high-yield savings account, T-Bills, or money market funds, there's always a better alternative that offers higher returns, more liquidity, or better tax advantages.   Companies Discussed: RH (RH), Caterpillar Inc.

Though different parts of the wine world (geographically) present their own headwinds, many of the difficulties in the wine trade are universal.  And sometimes the solution is at hand, but just not realized or acted upon. Moahe Weizman saw the issue, brainstormed a solution and has now launched his idea. And it is working. Welcome to Wine Talks with Paul K. In today's episode, I dive into the innovative world of collaborative wine selling with Moshe Weizman from Whining. Imagine transforming the way we buy wine—shifting from solo purchases to a community-driven experience. Moshe's platform connects wine buyers, turning individual bottle desires into shared case purchases, maximizing value for both consumers and wineries. While challenges like fulfillment in the U.S. remain, the potential to revolutionize the winery club model and bring people together over a bottle—or a few—is undeniable. Stay curious, and let's raise a glass to new wine experiences!   Moshe Weizman, much like his biblical counterpart, ventures into a land of untapped promise—digital wine commerce. In an episode that teases apart the layers of collaborative selling, listeners will uncover how Moshe has reimagined the wine-buying experience with a blend of tradition and modern technology. Picture this: instead of standing alone amidst a sea of virtual bottles, you find yourself part of a connected network of fellow enthusiasts, each sharing in the discovery and delight of a wine that tickles your curiosity. Paul Kalemkiarian uncorks this conversation, highlighting how the digital shift in wine sales is not merely about technology, but about crafting a new kind of storytelling through wine. Here, Moshe explains how his platform, ‘Whining,' redefines e-commerce by integrating social elements to enhance personal buying experiences—a solution that addresses the waning wine club memberships and reaches out to more elusive Gen Z consumers. From insights on different global markets to anecdotes about Israel's rapid digital adoption, you'll hear firsthand how Moshe navigates the complex web of international regulations, all while fostering a sense of community and shared passion for wine. This episode promises to color in the digital landscapes where wine becomes more than a transaction—it becomes a shared journey, linking the desires of sellers and buyers in unexpected, rewarding ways. Grab your favorite vintage and tune in to discover how ‘Whining' could well be the future of wine commerce.      

Exporters of chicken meat from the US have been mulling what might happen to their trade in the event of a trade war. Mexico is their largest customer, and Brazil is their largest competitor. However, those US exporters supply fresh, brown chicken meat to Mexico, and they're quietly confident of their ability to hold onto that market. William Bland, EMEA manager of price reporting for agriculture and food, talks to US poultry analyst Kelly Seier and price reporters Luke Lundgren and Beatriz Baltieri about how the market is planning for 2025.

Many US buyers have become hesitant to source products from China, yet tariffs haven't completely stopped imports. The country's strong supply chain, efficient manufacturing, cost advantages, and currency factors continue to make it a key player in global trade. In this episode of #GlobalTradeGal, Anita explores why US importers are still relying on Chinese-made goods despite trade barriers.

The pause on the 25% duty for CA and MX imports (10% for energy or energy resources) is limited to products of Canada and Mexico that qualify as originating under the USMCA. Importers must understand and apply the complex USMCA rules and maintain supporting documentation to avoid these tariffs. An unexpected 25% increase (and possible penalties) down the road for a faulty USMCA claim could be catastrophic to your business.

Is USMCA your trade superhero or just another bureaucratic sidekick?

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on an attempt to make some Italian wines tariff-proof.

The recent announcement of a temporary 30-day pause in the Canada-U.S. tariff war came as a relief to this country's largest importer of Kosher foods made in the United States. Montreal-based Altra Foods spent the earlier part of the week scrambling to place rush orders from suppliers south of the border, after Canada vowed to slap 25% retaliatory duties on some of the company's 3,000 kosher imported brands, such as Sabra, Geffen, Streit's, Hadar and even Bush Beans. But Altra's vice president ,Jack Hartstein, worries that if the negotiations collapse,and the Canadian tariffs kick in next month-just ahead of Passover–prices will rise by between 50 and 60 percent for kosher food imports from the key U.S. market. That's why Canada's kashruth organizations COR and MK,and the Hasidic community have teamed up with political advocacy group CIJA, and with help from several Liberal MPs, to urge Ottawa to exempt kosher foods from this current trade war. On today's episode of The CJN Daily, we're joined by Jack Hartstein, of ALTRA Foods, on how his company is bracing for the impact, and what to expect next. What we talked about: Read the list of U.S. products slated for Canadian-imposed 25% import tariffs. Why the 2025 proposed Canadian import tariffs will be much worse for kosher food consumers than the previous 2018 trade war, in The CJN Learn more about ALTRA Foods.

In this episode of Nurturing Financial Freedom, we delve into the timely topic of tariffs, their economic implications, and their resurgence in U.S. policy under President Trump's leadership. Alex Cabot and Ed Lambert of Birch Run Financial provide a clear breakdown of what tariffs are, who pays them, and their pros and cons.We begin by defining tariffs as taxes imposed on imported or exported goods. Alex clarifies a common misconception: while tariffs aim to promote domestic industries by making imported goods more expensive, it is the U.S. importer—not foreign governments or exporters—who pays these taxes. Importers often pass these costs on to consumers, leading to higher prices, though in some cases, businesses absorb the costs, reducing their margins.Tariffs have several objectives. They protect domestic industries by encouraging consumers to buy locally, generate government revenue, address trade imbalances, and promote national security. They can also support emerging industries and serve as negotiating tools in trade disputes. For instance, the current administration appears to be using tariffs as leverage in international trade negotiations, particularly with Mexico and China.Ed expands on the downsides of tariffs, including their potential to trigger trade wars, where reciprocal tariffs harm businesses and consumers on both sides. Tariffs can also disrupt global supply chains, drive inflation, and reduce economic efficiency. For example, industries reliant on imported materials may face squeezed profit margins or pass costs onto consumers, further exacerbating financial strain. Additionally, widespread tariffs can slow global economic growth by undermining the interconnectedness of modern economies.The discussion concludes with a balanced perspective. While tariffs can be a useful tool to protect strategic industries or as a negotiation tactic, blanket tariffs across all trading partners are generally counterproductive. Thoughtful implementation is critical to avoid unintended consequences.Alex and Ed emphasize their commitment to breaking down complex topics for listeners, encouraging questions, and offering consultations. For more insights, they invite listeners to connect via their website, email, or social media.

A pro tip for buying wine is to familiarize yourself with wine importers since they can be the key to unlocking your next favorite bottle. But how do wine importers go about discovering under-the-radar producers?

This is an encore presentation of a wonderful show I did with Serge Doré, importer of French wine (and American via Quebec…) and friend of the podcast, joins us to talk about the Loire Valley. It's especially relevant for those of you who are part of the Wine Access/WFNP wine club, as the "All Serge, all the time" shipment is heading your way soon!  Photo: Serge Doré. Credit: Wine For Normal People   Serge has been visiting the Loire since 1985 and has seen its evolution over the decades. He joins to give us the world of Loire from his perspective, humanize it with stories of producers he imports and some he has just met, and tell us what we can expect from this sometime confusing but wonderfully beautiful and diverse French wine region.   Serge's wines will are available in New England and New York, and on Wine Access! Some of his producers we mention are: Pascal et Alain Lorieux    Domaine Bourillon Dorléans “La Coulee d'Argent”   I love Serge! Having him on is such a pleasure and I hope you enjoy his insights as much as I do. Check out his site to see his selection of wines
