VEDP Webinar - Global Trade Disruptions

Join VEDP's International Trade team to learn about global trade disruptions: what businesses should know about tariffs and trade actions!

Sweeping tariffs and trade actions continue to impact the operations of Virginia manufacturers, importers and exporters. Learn how to navigate your company through the current environment of uncertainty. Topics of discussion include ways to mitigate tariff liability, how tariff exclusion processes work, and resources to help companies facilitate international trade.

The Covid-19 crisis is compelling every importer and exporter to examine the nature of their supply chains, from sourcing of raw materials and components to freight capacity needs to demand changes from existing customer bases. Most presume that the pandemic will induce drastic change, but in reality, supply chains take years, and often decades to develop and mature. Those complicated, multi-party ecosystems are not reshaped easily. And when they are, they are done at great cost. We’ll examine how and where Covid-19 might actually create substantive changes in sourcing, transportation, and distribution through strategic or technological means.

We have partnered with K&L Gates and the Journal of Commerce to learn more.
