Easing Tariff Impact: Practical Guidance for Surviving Trade Volatility and Responding to Enforcement Shifts

08/18/25 1 minute read

On August 1, the temporary suspension of country-specific ad valorem (“reciprocal”) tariffs ended, ushering in a new phase of the Trump tariff regime. As of August 7, the United States is imposing its highest tariff rates since the Great Depression, reflecting a shift in trade policy that will raise the cost of imported goods across a wide range of sectors.

U.S. importers are scrambling to adjust by nearshoring and reshoring, diversifying supplier networks, adjusting pricing, shifting R&D priorities, and advocating for policy change; but the legal frameworks at play are complex, and customs enforcement is ramping up.

Join us on Thursday, September 4th at 11am ET for an update on the tariff policy landscape from decorated trade lawyer and advisor Olga Torres and insight into Sayari’s tariff planning capabilities from Sayari’s Liz Johnson.

The agenda will include:

An analysis of the latest tariff updates
Recent enforcement examples and what they suggest about broader trends
Best practices for preventing accidental customs violations
An introduction to Sayari’s tariff planning and mitigation tools

This webinar is for corporate compliance officers, counsel, supply chain and procurement professionals, and others involved in their organization’s tariff mitigation efforts.
