TELL ME MORE!

• Includes an off-the-record, live digital sample review with Stacey Kalkines, U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) National Import Specialist, where we classify new samples and help train professionals on new duty rulings.
• Stacey is THE footwear classification 🤔 decision-maker at CBP. The event is a great opportunity to ask 🙋 classification questions. There are more than 400 ways to classify a shoe, and small changes mean a huge difference in tariff rates — and 💲cost for companies!
• We will show your 👠 samples onscreen during the event, and our expert panel debates how the footwear should be classified. The session is not recorded, so you want to be there live!
• We will also cover tariff policy and reengineering techniques, the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) updates, emerging classification issues and new rulings, 301 tariff and trade updates (MTB, GSP, exclusion process, etc.), and a look at 2024 trade policy beyond.
