Trade Under Scrutiny: Tariffs, Enforcement, and Corporate Compliance Risk

Event Details

In today’s trade environment, tariff exposure is no longer just a customs issue — it is an enterprise compliance risk that can trigger regulatory scrutiny, enforcement actions, and follow-on civil or criminal liability.

On August 27, please join AGG International Trade co-chairs Luis Arandia, Jr. and Clinton Yu, along with AGG Litigation and Government Investigations partner Gabe Scannapieco, for a timely webinar examining the current tariff landscape, how U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) and the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) are approaching enforcement, where companies are most vulnerable, and what practical steps businesses can take to strengthen compliance and reduce risk.

This one-hour session will also address recent enforcement trends, key areas of exposure, and strategies for managing tariff-related risk before it becomes a regulatory or enforcement issue.

What You Will Learn

• Current tariff developments and the evolving enforcement environment, including how shifting tariff measures and recent strengthening of customs enforcement can create new compliance and business risks for importers.
• CBP penalties, enforcement trends, and common problem areas, with particular focus on classification, valuation, country-of-origin, exemptions, and IEEPA refund errors.
• DOJ scrutiny of tariff-related conduct, including criminal enforcement actions and False Claims Act or qui tam exposure tied to customs and tariff evasion.
• Practical strategies to mitigate corporate compliance risk, including risk assessments, internal controls, supply chain diligence, tariff mitigation planning, and disclosure or remediation considerations.

Who Should Attend

• GCs, CLOs, and in-house counsel advising on trade, regulatory, and compliance matters
• CCOs, internal audit leaders, and risk management professionals responsible for enterprise compliance programs
• Import, customs, trade compliance, supply chain, procurement, and sourcing professionals overseeing global trade operations
• CFOs, controllers, and business leaders at companies that import goods into the U.S. and are evaluating tariff exposure, enforcement risk, and compliance strategies

There will be an opportunity for Q&A at the end of this webinar.
