Global trade is being reshaped by shifting tariffs, rising costs, geopolitical uncertainty, and changing sourcing strategies. For companies that import, export, manufacture, or rely on international suppliers, understanding how to adapt has become a competitive necessity.

This session will examine the latest developments in tariffs and global trade policy, how businesses are adjusting their supply chains, and the tools available to help manage costs and reduce risk. Experts will explore tariff strategy, supply chain diversification, trade compliance, and the use of Foreign-Trade Zones to help companies navigate an increasingly complex global marketplace.

Attendees will leave with practical insights for building more resilient, cost-effective supply chains and making smarter decisions in a rapidly changing trade environment.
