  • [Cindy's Version] Long Story Short: The Enforcement Era Has Arrived

    [Cindy's Version] Long Story Short: The Enforcement Era Has Arrived
    2026/06/06
    Host: Cindy Allen Published: June 6, 2026 Length: ~15 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary In this week’s episode of Simply Trade: Cindy’s Version, Cindy Allen takes listeners through another packed week of trade developments, from ongoing IEEPA refund litigation and new Section 301 actions to a sweeping Executive Order that may fundamentally reshape customs enforcement in the United States. While courts continue wrestling with tariff refunds, liquidation issues, and class action requests tied to IEEPA duties, USTR is moving forward with several new Section 301 investigations and proposed tariff actions involving forced labor concerns, Brazil, Vietnam, and China. But the biggest story of the week is the administration’s new Executive Order, Strengthening Customs Enforcement. Cindy explains why this may be one of the most significant customs policy developments in years, potentially transforming how CBP approaches importer accountability, non-resident importers, bonding requirements, ownership transparency, and enforcement authority. Inspired by Taylor Swift’s Long Story Short, Cindy argues that after months of tariffs, litigation, policy shifts, and uncertainty, the message from this administration has become increasingly clear: trade compliance is no longer a support function—it is a business-critical requirement in an enforcement-first environment. This Week in Trade • IEEPA refund litigation continues as courts and the administration battle over liquidation and refund procedures • A proposed class action seeks equal treatment for all companies that paid IEEPA duties • USTR proposes new Section 301 actions tied to forced labor concerns affecting more than 60 countries • Additional Section 301 developments target Brazil, Vietnam, and selected Chinese imports • Section 232 revisions reduce tariff burdens on certain steel, aluminum, copper, HVAC, and agricultural products • A major Executive Order on customs enforcement signals a new era of trade compliance expectations Main Topic / Discussion The centerpiece of this week’s episode is the Executive Order titled Strengthening Customs Enforcement. Cindy explains that while many headlines have focused on tariffs, this Executive Order may ultimately have a greater long-term impact on importers. The order directs CBP to examine and potentially implement significant changes affecting non-resident importers, ownership transparency, importer eligibility, bonding requirements, and broader customs enforcement authorities. Many of these concepts trace back to discussions surrounding a "21st Century Customs Framework" that CBP and the trade community have debated for years. However, Cindy notes that the current approach appears heavily focused on enforcement while omitting many of the trade facilitation measures that industry groups had hoped would accompany those changes. The result is a clear signal that trade compliance expectations are increasing and that CBP is positioning itself with a larger set of enforcement tools than ever before. Key Takeaways • IEEPA refund litigation remains active and unresolved • New Section 301 proposals could affect imports from more than 60 countries • Brazil and Vietnam are now facing separate Section 301 scrutiny • Section 232 revisions may provide relief for certain importers • The Executive Order on customs enforcement could reshape importer responsibilities • CBP appears to be moving toward a more enforcement-driven trade environment • Trade compliance is increasingly becoming a strategic business necessity rather than a back-office function Resources & Mentions • Global Training Center • Trade Force Multiplier • Commercial Customs Operations Advisory Committee Credits Host: • Cindy Allen – LinkedIn Producer: • Lalo Solorzano – LinkedIn 📢 Subscribe & Follow Stay connected with the Simply Trade community and never miss an episode that helps you trade smarter. 🎧 Listen on: • Apple Podcasts • Spotify • YouTube 💬 Connect with us: • Simply Trade on LinkedIn • Global Training Center on LinkedIn • Trade Geeks Community

  • Trade Compliance Is No Longer a Back-Office Function

    Trade Compliance Is No Longer a Back-Office Function
    2026/06/04
    Host: Lalo Solorzano, Andy Shiles Guest(s): Ashley Arnold Published: June 4, 2026 Length: Approximately 33 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary Trade compliance has changed dramatically, and this episode digs into why importers, exporters, executives, and compliance professionals can no longer treat it as a back-office task. Lalo Solorzano and Andy Shiles welcome Ashley Arnold, licensed customs broker, CCS, and founder of JEM Consulting, for a timely conversation on the evolving role of trade professionals in today’s regulatory environment. Ashley explains how trade compliance now touches sourcing, finance, IT, logistics, purchasing, customer service, and executive strategy. With shifting tariffs, increased Customs scrutiny, ACE reporting, USMCA claims, duty mitigation opportunities, automation, and documentation challenges all demanding attention, the old “we’ve always done it this way” mindset is no longer enough. The discussion highlights why companies need stronger internal collaboration, better systems, proactive monitoring, and more visibility into what Customs sees in real time. For executives, this episode is a reminder that compliance teams need resources, support, and a seat at the table. For trade professionals, it is a call to stay informed, ask questions, build relationships across departments, and keep pushing for smarter processes. Main Topic / Discussion This episode focuses on the expanding role of trade compliance professionals and why companies must rethink how they support compliance, logistics, and supply chain teams. Ashley Arnold explains that compliance work is no longer limited to classification, entry review, or post-entry audits. Today’s trade professionals are monitoring court cases, tariff updates, government notices, ACE reports, Customs requests, free trade agreement documentation, software workflows, and automation opportunities. The conversation also emphasizes that compliance must be involved earlier in the business process. Purchasing, sourcing, finance, IT, logistics, and leadership all need to work together to prevent problems before shipments are delayed, costs increase, or Customs issues arise. Key Takeaways • Trade compliance now belongs in strategic planning, not just operations. • Importers should have ACE access, run reports, and monitor Customs activity directly. • USMCA, duty drawback, exclusions, tariff engineering, and free trade agreement claims require strong documentation and audit readiness. • Automation and software can reduce manual work, but qualified trade professionals still need to review and validate decisions. • Compliance teams must build relationships with IT, accounting, sourcing, logistics, purchasing, and customer service. • Executives should ask whether their compliance teams have the tools, people, and cooperation they need. • The phrase “we’ve always done it this way” is a warning sign in today’s trade environment.

  • [TIPS] Understanding Partner Government Agencies in U.S. Imports

    [TIPS] Understanding Partner Government Agencies in U.S. Imports
    2026/06/02

    Host: Lalo Solorzano, Denise Smalls-Altagracia Published: June 2, 2026 Length: 20:17 Presented by: Global Training Center

    Summary

    In this Simply Trade Tips episode, Lalo Solorzano and Denise Smalls-Altagracia break down one of the most important but often misunderstood parts of U.S. import compliance: Partner Government Agencies, or PGAs. While many importers focus mainly on CBP, duties, tariffs, and broker filings, Denise explains why customs clearance is often much bigger than paperwork and duty payments.

    PGAs regulate the products themselves, covering areas such as public health, safety, agriculture, environmental standards, transportation, and security. That means an entry may look correct from a customs perspective but still be delayed, detained, or refused if agency-specific requirements are missed. Denise also highlights common agencies importers may encounter, including FDA, USDA, APHIS, EPA, and CPSC, and explains why documentation, product classification, and early planning are essential.

    This episode matters because PGA compliance directly affects speed, predictability, cost control, and supply chain reliability. Importers who understand agency requirements before shipments move are far better positioned to avoid costly surprises and keep trade moving.

    Main Topic / Discussion

    This episode focuses on Partner Government Agencies and their role in the import process. Lalo and Denise explain that CBP may serve as the primary border authority, but PGAs are the subject matter experts that determine whether certain products meet U.S. requirements and can legally enter commerce.

    The discussion covers what PGAs are, why they matter, which agencies importers commonly encounter, what documentation may be required, and how PGA compliance should be treated as a business function rather than a last-minute customs task.

    Key Takeaways

    • PGAs are federal agencies that work with CBP to regulate specific imported products. • Import compliance is not only about duties, tariffs, and customs paperwork. • Agencies such as FDA, USDA, APHIS, EPA, and CPSC may require additional documentation or review depending on the product. • Missing or inaccurate PGA information can lead to delays, detention, refusal, penalties, or supply chain disruption. • Strong PGA compliance improves shipment speed, predictability, cost control, and business reputation. • Companies should identify agency requirements before purchase orders are issued or goods are shipped.
