Big Box Ready: Winning Import Compliance & Tariff Strategies

Event Details

Supplying imports to the nation’s largest retailers comes with unique hurdles — from ever-shifting tariff structures to heightened compliance expectations and rigorous contract terms. Please join Allison Raley and Michelle Davis, attorneys in AGG’s Global Trade & Sanctions practice, and Jay Cho, Managing Director, Tariffs and Customs at Aprio, for a practical discussion on how suppliers to big box retailers can anticipate risk, stay compliant, and negotiate agreements that protect both margins and market access.

Topics include:

• Key import compliance considerations for suppliers to big boxes.
• Tariff risk mitigation strategies, including classification, origin planning, refund opportunities, customs valuation, and the First Sale Rule.
• Drafting and negotiating supply agreements that address liability, allocation of tariff costs, and compliance responsibilities.
• Practical takeaways from recent enforcement trends and how they affect supplier–retailer relationships.

Plus, learn how one U.S.-based supplier overcame significant pressure from surging tariff rates by implementing these strategies to avoid enforcement exposure and recapture tariff costs, ultimately strengthening its retailer relationships.

Credits: 1 hour of CLE credit has been approved by the State Bar of Georgia.
