Course Overview
Whether your business exports globally or imports into the United States, understanding the economic impact of trade tariffs is crucial. Trade tariffs are a tax on products that enter a country's national borders, and they are imposed to varying degrees by most countries around the world. And just as with any other tax on business activities, a business can change the scope and magnitude of any tariffs it is required to pay by altering its sales or procurement practices.
This course will provide the tools needed to assess the economic impact of U.S. tariff laws on any prospective import by a U.S. business. You will discover how to assess and compare tariffs, empowering you to minimize financial impact while achieving other business objectives. You will also examine the legal limits of tariff engineering — a common method for tariff reduction — and gain valuable insights into how U.S. tariff laws align with historical global practices.
