Convidada: Monica de Bolle, pesquisadora sênior do Peterson Institute for International Economics, em Washington (EUA). Ao longo de julho, os Estados Unidos anunciaram duas bombas tarifárias contra o Brasil: a primeira de 25%, resultado da investigação do Escritório do Representante Comercial dos Estados Unidos (USTR) sobre supostas práticas desleais da economia brasileira; a segunda de 12,5%, aplicada contra o Brasil e outros países que, de acordo com o USTR, não fiscalizaram adequadamente o emprego de trabalho forçado. O governo brasileiro criticou as medidas e anunciou ações para enfrentar o tarifaço turbinado: na economia interna, prometeu um pacote de R$ 18,5 bilhões para os setores mais afetados; na esfera internacional, levou as sobretaxas para arbitragem da Organização Mundial do Comércio (OMC). Neste episódio, Victor Boyadjian entrevista a economista Monica de Bolle, que fala diretamente de Washington. Monica analisa que respostas o Brasil pode esperar da OMC e explica outros artifícios que podem ser adotados pelo país: como a Lei de Reciprocidade e até mecanismos legais de retaliação em setores estratégicos para os americanos.

Importers are watching to see whether upcoming Section 301 tariffs on 16 economies will add to forced-labor duties and conflict with existing trade agreements. For more information, listen to today's Two Minutes in Trade. 

On Monday, July 20, President Trump signed three proclamations under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 — the first recorded use of the provision in nearly a century — imposing 50% tariffs on a wide range of Canadian goods, from wine to hockey sticks to cement, effective August 19. They apply regardless of CUSMA coverage.In this episode: exactly what was signed and what's excluded (energy, potash, fish, critical minerals); the White House's stated reason in its own words — that Canada was one of only two countries, alongside China, to retaliate against last year's tariffs; who actually pays a tariff (American importers and consumers on one side, Canadian order books and jobs on the other — the Prime Minister's own statement concedes it); the Carney and Ford responses; the untested 1930 law and the Supreme Court context; and the accountability question: the grievances were public for months, so where was the plan?SOURCES• White House fact sheet + Section 338 proclamations (July 20, 2026):• ABC News — administration briefing quotes (“hold Canada accountable,” alcohol/provinces detail): https://abcnews.com/Politics/trump-slaps-additional-50-tariff-canadian-goods/story?id=134929955• NPR — exclusions, CUSMA non-renewal, negotiation window to 2036, Carney statement: https://www.npr.org/2026/07/21/nx-s1-5901905/trump-imposes-tariffs-canadian-goods• Al Jazeera — Section 338 first use in nearly a century, product breakdown, USTR quote: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/21/trumps-new-50-percent-canada-tariffs-what-products-are-affected-and-why• Al Jazeera — “direct violation” (Carney), China comparison, CUSMA coverage: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/21/trump-imposes-50-us-tariffs-on-some-canadian-goods-citing-discrimination• CNBC — three proclamations detail, Ford “tariff for tariff” post, Section 338 “unused for decades”: https://www.cnbc.com/2026/07/20/trump-tariffs-canada-trade.html• CNN — August 19 effective date, Supreme Court context: https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/21/economy/trump-tariffs-who-is-next• Washington Post — announcement, “discriminatory” trade barriers framing: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2026/07/20/trump-says-he-will-impose-50-percent-tariffs-canada/Substack: https://kelsisheren.substack.comRumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveX: https://x.com/KelsisherenInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective#Tariffs #Trump #Canada #CanadianPolitics #USPolitics #TradeBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenRumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -Ketone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

The House is moving ahead with a budget framework that pairs billions in new farm assistance with funding for the Iran war, but Senate Republicans want changes.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rawlins has urged Congress to approve $11.1 billion in additional funding for farmers to provide temporary support while U.S. farm policy is reshaped. Meanwhile, the American Sheep Industry (ASI) welcomes a recommendation from the U.S. Trade Representative for a formal safeguard investigation into lamb imports, which could affect over 100,000 sheep farms and ranches

P.M. Edition for July 24. Today an FDA committee voted to increase access to six of seven peptides. Those are substances that haven't undergone regulatory approval, but they're promoted on social media and promise physical transformations like better skin. We hear from WSJ health and wellness reporter Alex Janin about what the vote means and whether it paves the way for a peptide gold rush. Plus, new tariffs went into effect today intended to combat forced labor, and President Trump also threatened new tariffs on the European Union. Journal trade and economic policy reporter Gavin Bade discusses the future of President Trump's tariff agenda. And measles cases in the U.S. this year have already surpassed last year's number, reaching a three-decade high. Alex Ossola hosts. And for more on peptides, listen to our What's News Sunday episode.

The United States will impose tariffs of 10 to 12.5 percent on imported goods from 60 economies starting on Friday, citing Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) said Thursday.美国贸易代表办公室7月23日宣布，依据《1974年贸易法》第301条，美国将从周五起对来自60个经济体的进口商品加征10%至12.5%的关税。The new trade measures are scheduled to take effect just as temporary 10 percent worldwide tariffs expire at 12:01 am Friday. The administration of US President Donald Trump had turned to those temporary levies after the Supreme Court struck down his broader tariff initiatives in February.新贸易措施将紧随7月24日凌晨12:01到期的10%全球临时关税之后生效。今年2月，美国最高法院否决了特朗普总统更广泛的关税计划，随后特朗普政府采用了这些临时性关税措施。By utilizing Section 301, the administration is tapping into a more durable legal mechanism that permits Trump to impose import taxes and other sanctions against countries found to engage in trade practices deemed "unjustifiable, unreasonable, or discriminatory," according to a USTR press release.美国贸易代表办公室在一份新闻稿中表示，通过援引第301条，美国政府正在启用一个更持久的法律机制，该机制允许特朗普对被认定存在“不公正、不合理或歧视性”贸易行为的国家征收进口税及其他制裁措施。The USTR justified the latest levies by pointing to international labor standards.美国贸易代表办公室以国际劳工标准为依据，为此次加征关税进行辩护。"The United States has had a forced labor import ban for nearly a century, and rigorously enforces it; it's well past time for our trading partners to do the same," US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer was quoted as saying in the release. "Today's action will begin to correct what is both a human rights abuse and distortive trade practice to improve the welfare of workers everywhere."美国贸易代表贾米森·格里尔在新闻稿中表示：“美国实施禁止进口强迫劳动产品的禁令已有近一个世纪，并严格执行；我们的贸易伙伴是时候采取同样做法了。今天的行动将开始纠正这一既侵犯人权又扭曲贸易的做法，从而改善各地工人的福祉。”The USTR determined that a 10 percent duty rate will be applied to investigated economies that either impose a forced labor import prohibition, have committed to enforcing such a prohibition through an Agreement on Reciprocal Trade, or have imposed a partial regime to prevent the importation of certain forced labor goods.美国贸易代表办公室决定，对符合以下条件的被调查经济体适用10%的关税税率：已实施禁止进口强迫劳动产品的禁令；已承诺通过《对等贸易协议》执行此类禁令；或已建立部分制度以防止特定强迫劳动产品的进口。The economies include Argentina, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Canada, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United Kingdom, according to the release.据新闻稿，这些经济体包括阿根廷、孟加拉国、柬埔寨、加拿大、厄瓜多尔、萨尔瓦多、危地马拉、洪都拉斯、印度、印度尼西亚、约旦、马来西亚、墨西哥、巴基斯坦、斯里兰卡、特立尼达和多巴哥以及英国。A variable rate of 10 or 12.5 percent, net of the Most-Favored-Nation rate, will apply to certain non-exempted products from economies including the European Union, Japan, South Korea and Switzerland. Meanwhile, a 12.5 percent duty will be imposed on all other investigated economies.对欧盟、日本、韩国和瑞士等经济体的某些非豁免产品，将适用10%或12.5%的浮动税率（在最惠国税率基础上加征）。同时，对所有其他被调查经济体将征收12.5%的关税。Notably, the Trump administration also provides exemptions for certain products, such as those that could lead to domestic supply crunch or economy-wide disruption, and products that cannot be grown or produced in the United States in sufficient quantities or at reasonable prices.值得注意的是，特朗普政府还对某些产品提供了豁免，例如可能导致国内供应紧张或经济全面中断的产品，以及无法在美国以充足数量或合理价格种植或生产的产品。In March, the USTR launched a separate, ongoing probe into whether 16 countries, which collectively account for around 70 percent of US imports, have overproduced goods, thereby pushing down global prices and placing US companies at a competitive disadvantage.今年3月，美国贸易代表办公室启动了一项单独的、仍在进行的调查，调查16个国家是否因产能过剩导致全球价格下跌，使美国企业处于竞争劣势。这些国家合计占美国进口总额的约70%。Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) /ˈɒfɪs əv ðə juː ɛs treɪd ˌreprɪˈzentətɪv/美国贸易代表办公室levies /ˈleviz/征税，关税durable legal mechanism /ˈdjʊərəbəl ˈliːɡəl ˈmekənɪzəm/持久的法律机制sanctions /ˈsæŋkʃənz/制裁unjustifiable /ʌnˈdʒʌstɪfaɪəbəl/不合理的

No episódio de hoje, mergulhamos no direito internacional para entender as medidas de política comercial aplicadas pelos Estados Unidos contra produtos brasileiros. Por que o Brasil se tornou alvo de uma nova elevação tarifária? O que está por trás da investigação da Seção 301 do USTR? E como o Brasil e as empresas exportadoras brasileiras podem responder a esse cenário?Para responder a essas perguntas, Verônica Prates e Luna Coelho recebem Bárbara Medrado, advogada associada sênior no escritório King & Spalding em Washington DC, graduada em Direito pela Harvard Law School e em Engenharia de Produção pela UFRJ.

Em 15 de julho de 2026, os Estados Unidos impuseram uma tarifa de 25% sobre mais de 4 mil produtos brasileiros. E o dólar… caiu para R$ 5,05.Ou o mercado está distraído, ou a gente entendeu errado o que é um tarifaço.Neste episódio, eu defendo que essa tarifa não é sobre comércio, que o prejuízo de verdade não está onde todo mundo está olhando, e que o Brasil está tendo, mesmo taxado, um dos melhores anos da história de seu comércio exterior.Entre as justificativas oficiais do relatório americano está o Pix. Sim: um documento de política comercial que reclama que os brasileiros conseguem transferir dinheiro de graça e em três segundos.

Termina nesta quarta-feira, 15 de julho, o prazo para o USTR divulgar a decisão sobre novas tarifas contra produtos brasileiros. Segundo Duda Teixeira, Jamieson Greer já teria levado a recomendação final a Trump, com aumento da lista de exceções, e reclamado do pouco empenho do governo brasileiro nas negociações.A análise aponta o cálculo eleitoral por trás da postura de Lula, que aposta que um tarifaço, se vier, pode favorecê-lo na tentativa de reeleição.Meio-Dia em Brasília traz as principais notícias e análises da política nacional direto   de Brasília.     Com apresentação de José Inácio Pilar e Wilson Lima, o programa aborda os temas mais quentes do cenário político e econômico do Brasil.     Com um olhar atento sobre política, notícias e economia, mantém o público bem informado.    Transmissão ao vivo de segunda a sexta-feira às 12h no nosso canal do Youtube.  https://www.youtube.com/@OAntagonista  Apoie o jornalismo independente.

Two days of USTR hearings proved that a Section 301 case can be about everything from beef and coffee to vermiculite and digital trade—but the fireworks started when U.S. and Brazilian cattle interests squared off, and Flávio Bolsonaro turned a tariff hearing into a preview of Brazil's next presidential campaign.

Confira no Morning Show desta terça-feira (07): O ministro das Relações Exteriores, Mauro Vieira, admitiu que o ato americano de tornar facções criminosas brasileiras como Comando Vermelho e Primeiro Comando da Capital em grupos terroristas abre brecha para atuação militar dos Estados Unidos em solo nacional. O senador e pré-candidato à Presidência da República, Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), discursa nesta terça-feira (07) na audiência do Escritório do Representante Comercial dos Estados Unidos, o USTR, contra um novo tarifaço de 25% a produtos brasileiros pelo governo americano. O Governo Federal apresentou uma defesa oficial contra um relatório feito pelo Representante Comercial dos Estados Unidos, o USTR, que acusa o Brasil de utilização de mão de obra escrava e práticas comerciais desleais. Segundo o Itamaraty, o relatório é “arbitrária” e “inverídica”. O relatório serve como base para aplicação de um novo tarifaço contra o Brasil. O procurador-geral da República, Paulo Gonet, defendeu em manifestação enviada ao Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), que os autos do inquérito de uma suposta calúnia feita pelo senador e pré-candidato à Presidência da República Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) em rede social, retornem à Polícia Federal para depoimento formal. Ex-prefeito de Belford Roxo, Márcio Canella (União), foi alvo da sexta fase da operação Unha e Carne, deflagrada pela Polícia Federal nesta terça-feira (07). A ação da PF investiga lavagem de dinheiro do crime organizado com aval de políticos fluminenses. O Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) cobrou explicações dos Tribunais de Justiça estaduais, sobretudo o do Distrito Federal, sobre a quebra de regras para concessão de pagamentos extras acima do teto constitucional para para magistrados, os “penduricalhos”. A falta de uma resposta em até 48 horas pode resultar em afastamento do responsável pelo TJ local. O Exército Brasileiro negou estar em posse de duas das 8 armas pessoais do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL) apreendidas em sua residência em Brasília. A defesa do ex-presidente afirmou que um dos armamentos está em uma importadora no Rio Grande do Sul. O EB entregou o restante das armas à Polícia Federal. Uma decisão da Justiça de Minas Gerais barrou um alvará de soltura emitido pelo Superior Tribunal de Justiça que concederia liberdade a um líder do tráfico no estado. Douglas de Azevedo Carvalho, vulgo Mancha, é aliado do PCC em MG e já violou uma tornozeleira eletrônica durante regime domiciliar, ficando foragido até ser preso em março deste ano na Bolívia. A Interpol adicionou o nome de Hércules da Costa Siqueira, suspeito de tentar executar o tenente da ROTA Ronickson Pimentel dos Santos. A Secretaria de Segurança Pública de São Paulo pagará R$ 50 mil para possíveis informações do paradeiro do criminoso, mas a suspeita é de que ele já tenha fugido do país através de fronteiras irregulares. A Justiça de Santa Catarina emitiu uma decisão favorável à divisão de um prêmio de loteria entre um ex-casal através de um acordo verbal firmado antes da separação. O vencedor do prêmio (de um jogo feito com a então esposa) terá que pagar R$ 1,3 milhão para a ex-companheira. O caso ocorreu em Blumenau. Faleceu na manhã desta terça-feira (07), aos 95 anos, o dramaturgo Benedito Ruy Barbosa, vítima de insuficiência renal. O autor escreveu dezenas de novelas para a TV Globo, entre elas Pantanal e Renascer, grandes sucessos de audiência. Mesmo após a derrota da Seleção Brasileira para a Noruega na Copa do Mundo, o ex-jogador Ronaldinho Gaúcho realizou uma festa em Nova Iorque com presença de músicos e influenciadores. O ex-craque e campeão do mundo está abrindo uma gravadora em Miami. Essas e outras notícias você confere no Morning Show.

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.

O que está por trás das novas ameaças de Trump ao Brasil? | Deborah Magagna | Programa 20 MinutosA escalada da tensão entre Washington e Brasília atingiu um novo patamar com a proposta dos Estados Unidos de impor tarifas de 25% sobre produtos brasileiros, mas o verdadeiro campo de batalha parece ser a soberania financeira nacional . Neste episódio do "Programa 20 Minutos", a convidada Deborah Magagna mergulha nas camadas ocultas por trás das recentes provocações de Donald Trump. Enquanto o governo Lula classifica a movimentação como sabotagem eleitoral patrocinada pela oposição, uma investigação do USTR mira o PIX como prática comercial abusiva, levantando o alerta máximo: os EUA estão declarando guerra ao sistema de pagamentos instantâneos que se tornou símbolo da autonomia brasileira?  A análise vai além das manchetes para revelar como a visita relâmpago de Flávio Bolsonaro a Washington e a subsequente decisão de taxar o agro brasileiro podem ter sido orquestradas para interferir diretamente no pleito de outubro, oferecendo a Lula um trunfo nacionalista inesperado em ano eleitoral .#Geopolítica #BrasilEUA #PIX #Eleições2026 #SoberaniaNacional

Host: Cindy Allen Published: June 6, 2026 Length: ~15 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary In this week's episode of Simply Trade: Cindy's Version, Cindy Allen takes listeners through another packed week of trade developments, from ongoing IEEPA refund litigation and new Section 301 actions to a sweeping Executive Order that may fundamentally reshape customs enforcement in the United States. While courts continue wrestling with tariff refunds, liquidation issues, and class action requests tied to IEEPA duties, USTR is moving forward with several new Section 301 investigations and proposed tariff actions involving forced labor concerns, Brazil, Vietnam, and China. But the biggest story of the week is the administration's new Executive Order, Strengthening Customs Enforcement. Cindy explains why this may be one of the most significant customs policy developments in years, potentially transforming how CBP approaches importer accountability, non-resident importers, bonding requirements, ownership transparency, and enforcement authority. Inspired by Taylor Swift's Long Story Short, Cindy argues that after months of tariffs, litigation, policy shifts, and uncertainty, the message from this administration has become increasingly clear: trade compliance is no longer a support function—it is a business-critical requirement in an enforcement-first environment. This Week in Trade • IEEPA refund litigation continues as courts and the administration battle over liquidation and refund procedures • A proposed class action seeks equal treatment for all companies that paid IEEPA duties • USTR proposes new Section 301 actions tied to forced labor concerns affecting more than 60 countries • Additional Section 301 developments target Brazil, Vietnam, and selected Chinese imports • Section 232 revisions reduce tariff burdens on certain steel, aluminum, copper, HVAC, and agricultural products • A major Executive Order on customs enforcement signals a new era of trade compliance expectations Main Topic / Discussion The centerpiece of this week's episode is the Executive Order titled Strengthening Customs Enforcement. Cindy explains that while many headlines have focused on tariffs, this Executive Order may ultimately have a greater long-term impact on importers. The order directs CBP to examine and potentially implement significant changes affecting non-resident importers, ownership transparency, importer eligibility, bonding requirements, and broader customs enforcement authorities. Many of these concepts trace back to discussions surrounding a "21st Century Customs Framework" that CBP and the trade community have debated for years. However, Cindy notes that the current approach appears heavily focused on enforcement while omitting many of the trade facilitation measures that industry groups had hoped would accompany those changes. The result is a clear signal that trade compliance expectations are increasing and that CBP is positioning itself with a larger set of enforcement tools than ever before.

VOV1 - Văn phòng Đại diện Thương mại Mỹ (USTR) vừa đề xuất áp thuế bổ sung 12,5% lên hàng hóa Ấn Độ do chưa ngăn chặn hiệu quả lao động cưỡng bức. Quyết định được đưa ra đúng thời điểm hai nước đang tiến hành vòng đàm phán quan trọng về thỏa thuận thương mại song phương tại thủ đô New Delhi.Trong báo cáo dài 92 trang mới công bố, Văn phòng Đại diện Thương mại Mỹ (USTR) cho rằng Ấn Độ nằm trong nhóm các nền kinh tế chưa áp đặt hoặc thực thi hiệu quả lệnh cấm nhập khẩu đối với hàng hóa có liên quan đến lao động cưỡng bức. Theo đề xuất, Mỹ có thể áp thêm mức thuế 12,5% đối với hàng hóa từ Ấn Độ, cao hơn mức 10% được đề xuất đối với một số đối tác thương mại khác bị đánh giá có những thiếu sót tương tự trong thực thi chính sách.Đáng chú ý, đề xuất này được đưa ra đúng thời điểm phái đoàn thương mại Mỹ do Trợ lý Đại diện Thương mại Brendan Lynch dẫn đầu đang có các cuộc làm việc với phía Ấn Độ từ ngày 2-4/6 nhằm thúc đẩy đàm phán hiệp định thương mại song phương. Hai bên đang tìm cách đạt được một thỏa thuận trước thời điểm Mỹ xem xét lại các biện pháp thuế quan đối với nhiều đối tác thương mại lớn.Giới chuyên gia nhận định đây mới chỉ là đề xuất và vẫn phải trải qua nhiều bước xem xét trước khi có thể được áp dụng. Tuy nhiên, động thái này được xem là một phần trong chiến lược gây sức ép thương mại rộng hơn của chính quyền Tổng thống Donald Trump thông qua các cuộc điều tra theo Mục 301 của Luật Thương mại Mỹ nhằm buộc các đối tác điều chỉnh chính sách theo các tiêu chuẩn mà Washington đề ra.  Một số chuyên gia thương mại tại Ấn Độ cũng cho rằng kết luận của USTR có thể gây tranh cãi. Theo họ, cuộc điều tra không tập trung vào việc hàng xuất khẩu của Ấn Độ có sử dụng lao động cưỡng bức hay không, mà chủ yếu xem xét liệu New Delhi có ngăn chặn hiệu quả việc nhập khẩu các sản phẩm liên quan đến lao động cưỡng bức từ nước thứ ba hay không. Các chuyên gia cho rằng đây là hai vấn đề hoàn toàn khác nhau.Về phía mình, Ấn Độ nhiều lần khẳng định tuân thủ các tiêu chuẩn lao động quốc tế và các công ước cốt lõi của Tổ chức Lao động Quốc tế (ILO). New Delhi dự kiến sẽ nêu vấn đề này trong các cuộc đàm phán đang diễn ra với phía Mỹ, đồng thời tìm kiếm các nhượng bộ về thuế quan trong khuôn khổ thỏa thuận thương mại song phương rộng lớn hơn.Giới quan sát cho rằng diễn biến mới có thể làm phức tạp thêm tiến trình đàm phán, nhưng khó làm thay đổi mục tiêu lâu dài của cả hai nước là thúc đẩy quan hệ kinh tế - thương mại hướng tới quy mô 500 tỷ USD vào năm 2030./.Lê Dũng/ VOV Ấn Độ Ảnh minh họa

Host: Cindy Allen Published: May 29, 2026 Length: ~12 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary In this week's episode of Simply Trade: Cindy's Version, Cindy Allen breaks down one of the most intense stretches yet for the trade community as courts, CBP, and USTR continue reshaping the compliance landscape in real time. Major developments continue around IEEPA litigation, reconciliation filings, CAPE processing issues, and ongoing court scrutiny over liquidated entries and duty refunds. Meanwhile, USMCA renegotiation discussions are beginning to signal potentially significant changes to country of origin requirements, component tracing, and automotive sourcing rules. Inspired by New Romantics, Cindy reflects on the resilience of the trade community through nonstop operational and regulatory change. From brokers and compliance teams to importers and supply chain leaders, the industry continues adapting despite constant disruption. This Week in Trade • The United States Court of International Trade declined to stay its order regarding Section 122 tariff collection while appeals continue • CBP filed guidance related to reconciliation entries and IEEPA duty handling for underlying entries and 09 reconciliation filings • The court ordered the CBP Commissioner to appear at an upcoming June 9 hearing regarding liquidated entries and IEEPA duty resolution • CAPE processing continues moving forward, though brokers and importers are still facing ACE-related filing complications and edit check issues • Office of the United States Trade Representative continues active USMCA renegotiation discussions focused on automotive content, country of origin tracing, and supply chain transparency Main Topic / Discussion This episode focuses heavily on the mounting operational pressure facing the trade community as regulatory, judicial, and enforcement developments continue accelerating simultaneously. Cindy explains that reconciliation filers may soon face difficult timing decisions around underlying entries and 09 filings, especially as CBP and the courts work through how IEEPA duties should ultimately be handled. The upcoming court hearing involving the CBP Commissioner signals that the judiciary is taking a more active role in resolving outstanding liquidation and refund concerns. On the operational side, CAPE continues functioning, but many brokers are encountering filing complications tied to duty stacking logic, tariff line placement, and legacy filing methods that predated clearer CBP guidance and ACE edit checks. The episode also explores how USMCA negotiations are evolving beyond traditional tariff shift and regional value content calculations toward more aggressive component-level tracing and sourcing visibility requirements—particularly targeting concerns over Chinese components entering through Mexico. Key Takeaways • IEEPA litigation and reconciliation guidance continue evolving rapidly • The June 9 court hearing could significantly impact duty refund handling and liquidated entries • CAPE is operational, but ACE and filing correction challenges remain significant • CBP help desk delays are creating operational strain across the trade community • USMCA renegotiation discussions may fundamentally change future country of origin compliance requirements • Trade professionals continue adapting despite relentless regulatory change Resources & Mentions • Global Training Center • Trade Force Multiplier Credits Host: • Cindy Allen – LinkedIn Producer: • Lalo Solorzano – LinkedIn

Host: Cindy Allen Published: May 2026 Length: ~12 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Trade Complexity, CAPE Rejections, and Why “Happiness” Fits the Moment In this episode of Simply Trade: Cindy's Version, Cindy Allen steps back from the usual CAPE-only focus to look at the broader trade landscape, from AGOA comments and EU sanctions to OFAC changes, DOJ enforcement, and shipping developments at the FMC. She also discusses the latest CAPE refund updates, including rejection rates, sequencing issues, and the practical steps importers need to take if their entries were filed before guidance was finalized. Using Taylor Swift's “Happiness” as her theme, Cindy reflects on the complexity of the current trade environment and why both frustration and optimism can exist at the same time. What You'll Learn in This Episode AGOA and global policy updates Cindy highlights the USTR's request for comments on AGOA and notes the upcoming expiration deadline at the end of the year. She also touches on revised EU sanctions against Russia and changes in OFAC contracting for sanctioned entities in oil and gas. DOJ enforcement and supply chain risk The conversation covers the DOJ's plywood fraud case and the importance of supply chain diligence, willful blindness, and origin tracing. Cindy emphasizes that buyers need to know who they are dealing with and where goods actually come from. Shipping and market pressure Cindy discusses the FMC's record award involving OOCL and Bed Bath & Beyond, as well as the continuing Strait of Hormuz blockage and its impact on oil, gas, and jet fuel availability. These developments show how trade, shipping, and geopolitics are all connected. CAPE refund complexity The biggest portion of the episode focuses on CAPE refund rejections, especially “unable to calculate duty” and sequencing errors. Cindy explains why importers should work closely with their brokers, review PSCs where necessary, and understand how ACE reports and tariff timing affect eligibility. The meaning of “Happiness” Cindy uses Taylor Swift's “Happiness” to reflect the emotional complexity of trade right now. She notes that the industry is experiencing both frustration and opportunity, and that there may be happiness after this difficult season as trade professionals continue to play a bigger role.

Host: Lori Mullins Guests: Rich Roche, Ashley Craig Series: NCBFAA Quarterly Podcast – Transportation Committee Focus Published: March 2026 Length: ~40 minutes Presented by: National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America (NCBFAA) in partnership with Simply Trade​ NCBFAA Transportation Committee: Strait of Hormuz, FMC, and Shipping Risk in 2026 In this NCBFAA quarterly episode, social media director and licensed customs broker Lori Mullins sits down with Rich Roche, Senior Vice President at Mohawk Global Logistics and NCBFAA NVOCC Chair, and Ashley Craig, partner at Venable LLP and outside Transportation Counsel to NCBFAA, for a deep dive on the work of the NCBFAA Transportation Committee in a rapidly changing risk environment.​ The conversation focuses on how the Transportation Committee is engaging with regulators—especially the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC)—and monitoring global chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz to protect brokers, forwarders, and NVOCCs.​ Inside the NCBFAA Transportation Committee's Agenda FMC leadership and priorities Rich explains the “new season” at FMC under Chair Laura DiBella, with NCBFAA meeting her on day one and tracking the confirmation of additional commissioners to get the agency to full strength.​ The committee is watching FMC's expanded role, including analyzing global “choke points” (like the Iran conflict and Spanish embargo actions) and supporting efforts to close the harbor maintenance fee loophole for cargo routed via Canada and Mexico.​ Strait of Hormuz and global chokepoints Ashley breaks down why the Strait of Hormuz—only about 20 nautical miles wide and dominated geographically by Iran—remains one of the most critical choke points in global energy and trade, carrying roughly 60% of petroleum productsexiting the region.​ Rich details current impacts: hundreds of tankers and cargo vessels effectively stopped or trapped, export bookings halted, and knock-on effects on fuel availability for airlines and ocean carriers, particularly in Asia.​ Legal and commercial risk: surcharges, notice, and the Shipping Act Ashley walks through how tensions translate into war risk surcharges and emergency contingency charges from major carriers (Maersk, CMA, Hapag-Lloyd, MSC, ONE), and the critical 30‑day notice requirement under the Shipping Act for U.S. trades—plus how “special permission” filings at the FMC can accelerate those timelines.​ The Transportation Committee is monitoring FMC guidance reminding carriers and NVOCCs of their obligations to publish and adhere to filed rates, and educating members on when to go to FMC vs. resolving disputes under service contracts or through courts/ADR.​ Export controls and NCBFAA's export subcommittee work Ashley highlights the work of the NCBFAA Export Subcommittee, which sits under the Transportation Committee and has collaborated with BIS on the Freight Forwarder Best Practices (now live on the BIS site).​ The committee is tracking evolving sanctions and export controls on Iran and third‑party intermediaries, stressing regular checks of the U.S. consolidated screening lists and ongoing engagement with BIS, OFAC, and other agencies.​ Insurance, force majeure, and contract readiness From a legal and practical standpoint, Ashley urges members to review war risk underwriting, force majeure language, and service contracts now—especially for cargo stuck in the Gulf region—to avoid unmanaged detention/demurrage and misaligned risk allocation.​ The Transportation Committee is encouraging proactive dialogue with carriers and underwriters, not just reactive claims once disruptions surface.​ Energy markets, surcharges, and downstream costs The episode covers how rising oil prices (already over USD 100/barrel with potential to go higher) drive up bunker costs, trigger higher bunker and emergency surcharges, and ultimately raise total transportation costs for shippers and NVOCC customers.​ Policy horizon: tariffs, ship taxes, and Jones Act talk Ashley notes the administration's heavy focus on maritime policy, new and potential 232/301 investigations, a 301 forced labor inquiry touching over 60 trading partners, and proposals like a “universal ship tax” and land border fee that NCBFAA and peer associations are actively reviewing.​ The committee is also watching discussions around Jones Act waivers for energy flows and coordinating with other trade associations (NITL, World Shipping Council, NRF, NAM, U.S. Chamber) to present a unified industry position.​ Why This Matters for NCBFAA Members Throughout the episode, Lori, Rich, and Ashley underscore the resilience of the brokerage and forwarding community and the central role of NCBFAA—especially the Transportation Committee and its export subcommittee—in: Interpreting fast‑moving developments at choke points like the Persian Gulf. Engaging directly with FMC, BIS, Treasury, USTR, and Congress. Providing practical guidance on surcharges, notice rules, contracts, underwriting, and compliance expectations.​ Lori closes by inviting non‑members to join NCBFAA and tap into its toolkits, best practices, and ongoing advocacy, and reminding listeners that this is part of a quarterly NCBFAA podcast series focused on the committees' work on behalf of the trade.
