Making Sense of US Tariffs on Imported Products

Overview:

The impact of retaliatory US tariffs on imported products from a majority of foreign countries, including the European Union.

Why you should Attend: 

Don’t be caught unaware of the changing US tariff environment. If you don’t know, you could  be fired; if you do know, you could earn a promotion. If you woke up last Wednesday, you would have learned that new US tariffs equal to 25 percent of the value of imported iron and steel, iron and steel products and “derivative” products of these metals. What are derivative products? Where and how do you find such a list? What are the exceptions and exemptions? How will you determine if your imported product contains foreign made steel or aluminum, is thereby subject to the new tariffs, and how do you calculate the value subject to the duties?

Areas Covered in the Session:

• The concept of US tariffs and how to identify them
• Global iron, steel, and derivative product tariffs
• The US/Mexico/Free Trade Agreement and cross border tariffs
• Equalizing global tariffs with those of the US
• The new tariffs as cited in the Harmonized Tariff System
