Manufacturers are operating in an increasingly complex global trade environment shaped by new tariffs, evolving trade policies, and heightened customs enforcement. As organizations evaluate sourcing strategies, manage supply chain disruptions, and navigate rising compliance obligations, understanding the latest regulatory developments has become essential for maintaining operational resilience and competitiveness.
Join Deborah Stern, Custom and Trade Attorney Partner, Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg, P.A., as she provides a timely update on the trade issues affecting manufacturers today and what companies should be preparing for going into 2027. Drawing on her extensive experience in international trade law and policy, Deborah will break down the latest tariff measures impacting industrial supply chains, including forced labor regime tariffs, sector-specific duties, and recent revisions to steel, aluminum, and copper tariffs.

In addition, attendees will gain insight into new enforcement initiatives from U.S. Customs and other regulatory agencies, along with practical strategies for strengthening compliance programs, improving supply chain visibility, mitigating risk, and avoiding costly customs penalties.
