Global Trade and Tariffs Services

Increasing tariffs signify a substantial shift in global trade policy, creating uncertainty for Multinational Enterprises (MNEs). Companies need to take strategic action to understand their supply chains like never before so they can assess and mitigate the impact of tariffs. The global trade and tariff landscape is continuously evolving, and it’s imperative to stay informed about changing tariff rates by country, industry, and product involved.

  • Minimize Tariff Impact: Minimize dutiable customs value by unbundling true product vs other non-dutiable costs that may currently be reflected in COGS. Mitigate or defer customs payments with strategies such as first sale for export, bonded warehouse, FTZ, or customs reconciliation programs, among others.
  • Global Tax and Transfer Pricing Strategies: Optimize the global entity structure of the business and physical flow of products via transfer pricing strategies to reduce negative financial impact of tariffs.
  • Supply Chain Planning: Diversify vendors, nearshore manufacturing, create new distribution channels for products entering US but destined for other markets.
  • Financial Scenario Modeling: Model the impact of changing product pricing, tariff amounts, and sharing of increased tariff costs.Understand the adverse ripple effect through the entire global business, including lower profitability/taxable income leading to increased transfer pricing risk/exposure and potential for double taxation.
  • Modernize Manual Invoicing: Digital modernization of manual invoicing/customs calculations via an automated process that reduces costly errors.
