    [ROUNDUP] GTM Prep 101: Clean your Date Like You're Hosting the In-Laws
    2026/03/02
    Host: Annik Sobing Guest: Kenneth G. Peters Published: February 2026 Length: ~20 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center GTM Software Prep: Don't Install Until You've Done These 3 Things First In this Simply Trade Roundup, Annik talks with Kenneth G. Peters, President at MIC US and Director of Commercial Operations in North America, about Global Trade Management (GTM) software—specifically, what trade teams must do before implementation to avoid creating “digital chaos.” Ken shares real talk from his ATCC presentation on data cleanup, process mapping, and testing, plus why “cleaning your data like you're hosting the in-laws” is now his signature advice. Shoutout to Alison for the killer slides.​ What You’ll Learn in This Episode Ken’s new grandpa status (the little guy is 7 months old—congrats!) and why it’s the “next step in life” that keeps him energized for trade tech.​ The #1 mistake companies make with GTM software Data cleanup first: Don’t dump junk into GTM. Scrub inactive vendors, obsolete parts, invalid HS codes (like 111111 or all zeros). Clean it like you're hosting the in-laws—no mess allowed. Why: GTM amplifies what you give it. Bad data in = faster mistakes out.​ Avoid the “Big Bang” implementation trap Don’t try to do everything at once (denied party screening + classification + FTA rules + solicitation). Start small: Classification (builds the foundation—parts, HS codes, values). Denied party screening (uses your vendor/part data). FTA analysis (relies on classification/HS from step 1). Why: Master data dependencies mean you build once and reuse everywhere.​ Processes over pixels GTM won’t fix broken workflows. Map your processes before going live. If your current setup is emailing Excel files between systems, you’re not automating—you’re digitizing chaos. True automation: ERP ↔ GTM via SFTP, APIs, XML—no human hands on keyboards. Reduces errors, speeds everything up.​ Who owns what after go‑live MIC US (GTM provider): Manages the software backend—reg updates, HS databases, platform maintenance. Your team: Owns the process (classification, entry creation, decision‑making). Someone still reviews outputs for accuracy. No “managed services” from MIC—GTM is a tool, not a full‑service outsource.​ Testing: where most implementations fail Allocate real time and resources to testing—don’t rush it. Test end‑to‑end: data flow, workflows, edge cases. Why: Skipped or rushed testing = live problems that cost more to fix later.​ “If your systems are emailing Excel files to each other, you're not automating” Ken’s golden rule: Hands‑off data flow (ERP → GTM) eliminates errors. Excel handoffs = manual errors waiting to happen.​ Key Takeaways Clean data first: Active parts, valid HS, no ghosts—GTM makes good data shine and bad data explode.​ Start small, build smart: Classification → screening → FTA, not “big bang everything.”​ Fix processes before pixels: GTM won’t save broken workflows; it speeds them up.​ Testing = non‑negotiable: Rushed testing = expensive live fixes.​ GTM is a force multiplier—if your foundation is solid.​ Credits Host: Annik Sobing Guest: Kenneth G.

  • [Cindy's Version] All Too Well: One Week Post-IEEPA, Still Not Fine at All

    [Cindy's Version] All Too Well: One Week Post-IEEPA, Still Not Fine at All
    2026/02/27
    Host: Cindy Allen Show: Simply Trade – Cindy’s Version Published: February 27, 2026 Length: ~15 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center All Too Well: One Week Post-IEEPA, Still Not Fine at All One week after the Supreme Court struck down IEEPA tariffs, Cindy Allen, CEO of TradeForce Multiplier, delivers the latest update through the lens of Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well.” She breaks down the lingering uncertainty—“I know it’s long gone and the magic’s not here no more… I might be okay, but I’m not fine at all”—and what importers, brokers, and service providers should do next amid shutdowns, pending bills, and shifting tariff authorities.​ What You’ll Learn in This Episode Legislative landscape Three new bills introduced on IEEPA refunds: two support refunds for importers; one opposes and ties refunds to consumers (challenging in practice). Other pending bills (eliminating first sale, non‑resident importer status, new licensing program) are unlikely to move soon. IEEPA refund bills could gain traction if courts rule against refunds—watch for Congress to act.​ DHS shutdown impacts Ongoing due to budget issues; most CBP personnel are working without pay (be kind!). Trade interactions limited as “non‑essential”: canceled meetings, no new conference appearances. TSA PreCheck spared (shutdown threat revoked); Global Entry inactive due to staffing.​ CBP updates and waits Still awaiting Section 232 valuation guidance for steel/aluminum/copper derivatives—current CBP direction conflicts with executive order language. Trade associations have jointly requested clarity; no response yet.​ Administration signals New trade deals now using Section 122 authority instead of IEEPA. Acceleration planned for remaining 232 investigations and new 301 actions—structured processes with timelines, public input, and notice (no more Friday night surprises).​ Why “All Too Well”? Cindy ties the week to Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well,” capturing trade’s emotional whiplash: IEEPA is “long gone,” but the “magic” of predictability isn’t back. Importers, attorneys, and consultants are swamped with “What now?” calls—Cindy’s attended 5+ webinars with no clear answers. The trade isn’t “fine”—we’re in uncharted territory.​ The Big Questions: If, How, When on IEEPA Refunds IF refunds happen: Supreme Court remanded to lower court, likely landing at Court of International Trade (CIT). Prevailing view: no legal basis to withhold refunds, but scope (“which refunds?”) is unclear.​ HOW to get refunds: Two paths debated: 1581(i) (equitable jurisdiction—broad refunds for all) vs. 1581(a)(denied protests only). Post-summary corrections rejected by CBP—don’t try now. FedEx filed CIT action to protect refund rights. Recommendation: talk to an attorney for tailored advice.​ WHEN to act: Government has 25 days for rehearing request (unlikely); ~7 days admin time; then CIT jurisdiction (~32 days total from Supreme Court). File protests now if entries liquidate soon to preserve rights (CIT may require it under 1581(a)). If no imminent liquidations, wait—process could take months or a year+. Pack patience; this is a long haul.​ Key Takeaways IEEPA tariffs are history, but uncertainty reigns—new authorities (Section 122, accelerated 232/301) fill the gap.​ Support CBP/TSA workers during shutdown—they’re on the job unpaid.​ Consult an attorney ASAP for refund strategy; don’t sleep on protest deadlines.​ No quick fixes ahead—trade pros need patience and planning.​ Credits Host: Cindy Allen Producer: Annik Sobing Listen & Subscribe Simply Trade main page: https://simplytrade.podbean.com​ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/simply-trade/id1640329690​ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/09m199JO6fuNumbcrHTkGq​ Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8de7d7fa-38e0-41b2-bad3-b8a3c5dc4cda/simply-trade​ Connect with Simply Trade Podcast page: https://www.globaltrainingcenter.com/simply-trade-podcast​ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/simply-trade-podcast​ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SimplyTradePod​ Join the Trade Geeks Community Trade Geeks (by Global Training Center): https://globaltrainingcenter.com/trade-geeks/

  • SCOTUS Strikes Down IEEPA Tariffs — What Happens Now?

    SCOTUS Strikes Down IEEPA Tariffs — What Happens Now?
    2026/02/26

    Hosts: Lalo Solorzano & Andy Shiles

    Episode Length: ~ 44 min. Published: February 25, 2026

    Episode Summary

    The Supreme Court has ruled on the use of IEEPA tariffs — and the trade community immediately started asking the same question:

    Now what?

    In this episode of Simply Trade, Lalo and Andy break down what the SCOTUS decision really means (and just as importantly, what it does not mean). They walk through the operational, financial, and compliance implications for importers, including refund strategies, protests, PSC filings, and what role the Court of International Trade may still play.

    This is not a political conversation — it’s a practical one.

    If you’re an importer, broker, trade attorney, or compliance leader trying to understand next steps, this episode gives you the strategic roadmap.

    Key Discussion Points

    • What the Supreme Court actually ruled on regarding IEEPA

    • What this decision does not affect (Section 232, 301, etc.)

    • Whether importers should file PSCs, protests, or wait

    • The role of the Court of International Trade (CIT)

    • Refund timing and cash flow implications

    • The possibility of alternative tariff authorities (including Section 122)

    • Why internal data analysis is critical right now

    • How compliance programs can prepare for future shifts

    Why This Matters

    For companies that paid duties under IEEPA authority, this decision could mean:

    • Significant refund opportunities

    • Strategic filing decisions

    • Litigation exposure

    • Executive-level reporting requirements

    • Reassessment of long-term sourcing strategy

    But acting too quickly — or without data — could create unnecessary risk.

    Lalo and Andy emphasize that now is the time for:

    • Data gathering

    • Executive briefings

    • Controlled decision-making

    • Clear documentation

    • A strong compliance foundation

    Practical Takeaways

    • Don’t assume automatic refunds — process matters.

    • Evaluate PSC vs. protest options carefully.

    • Monitor CIT developments closely.

    • Keep leadership informed with quantified impact analysis.

    • Use this moment to strengthen your compliance framework.
