Creating Resilience and Sustainability: Navigating the Impact of Tariffs and Disruption

In this interactive presentation, trusted trade authority Tom Cook discusses the uncertainty and disruption in today’s global supply chain, outlining the solutions available for tariff mitigation and risk and spend management. The focus includes alternative sourcing, nearshoring, drawback, Foreign-Trade Zones, tariff engineering, tariff classification reviews, freight options, freight consolidation, Incoterms, and robust demand planning. Learn how to apply a “landed cost” approach to managing cost and risk: assessing and analyzing all costs related to the supply chain, from acquisition, freight, customs clearance, duties and taxes, to inland freight, warehousing, and distribution.

Learning objectives include:

  • Understand the tariff environment: the context, the current status, and likely direction for 2026.
  • Understand the impacted categories, products and processes and understand your options for mitigation.
  • Understand the importance of trade compliance and risks and costs of non-compliance.
  • Understand which tariff mitigation strategies can bolster supply chain resilience in the long term, and how to identify what will work for your company.
