Easing Tariff Impact: Practical Guidance for Surviving Trade Volatility and Responding to

On August 1, the temporary suspension of country-specific ad valorem (“reciprocal”) tariffs ended, ushering in a new phase of the Trump tariff regime. As of August 7, the United States is imposing its highest tariff rates since the Great Depression, reflecting a shift in trade policy that will raise the cost of imported goods across a wide range of sectors.

U.S. importers are scrambling to adjust by nearshoring and reshoring, diversifying supplier networks, adjusting pricing, shifting R&D priorities, and advocating for policy change; but the legal frameworks at play are complex, and customs enforcement is ramping up.
