We are knee deep in mitigation strategies regarding maneuvering around the Trump Administration tariffs. Strategies considerations such as: A bonded warehouse or an FTZ (taking advantage of duty deferral) or country of origin (moving the manufacturing from China to another country). OK, but you better consider substantial transformation!! (We will show you the details in CBP’s perspective). Then there is tariff engineering (component/element changes/tweaks in the manufacturing process in order to change the HTS code to one much more favorable one regarding tariffs). Also, duty draw back (we have a program for that), First Sale which we can explain. Valuation (we have an expert), and of course If the cost is too high to manufacture in the U.S., there is always manufacturing in Mexico or Canada and taking advantage of the USMCA (and, as an option we have Mexico legal counsel who are IMMEX experts). Global Trade Compliance is what we do, it’s all we do.
