US Tariffs Workshop: Automotive and Advanced Manufacturing

Learn how to manage the impact of US tariffs, driving resilience within your UK automotive or advanced manufacturing business.

Duration
11:00am - 1:00pm
Location
Virtual Classroom via Microsoft Teams

Learn sector-specific strategies to manage your exposure to US tariffs.

US tariffs are hitting the UK’s automotive and advanced manufacturing sectors at speed. 

With the introduction of a 25% tariff on UK-made vehicles, a 10% baseline tariff on industrial goods, and renewed steel and aluminium tariffs, UK automotive and advanced manufacturing firms face significant cost pressures, competitive disadvantages, and supply chain disruption. The US, once a stable export partner, now presents a radically altered trade landscape. 

This practical, sector-focused workshop from the Chartered Institute of Export & International Trade offers clear, actionable guidance for businesses navigating these shifts. We will provide a deep dive into how these tariffs impact the UK’s automotive and manufacturing supply chains and explore a wide range of mitigation strategies covering customs tools, sourcing strategies, and commercial risk management. If you are supplying into the US, part of a multi-national chain or simply seeking to protect margin in uncertain times, this session is for you. 

This course is ideal for:

  • Automotive OEMs and component suppliers 
  • Advanced engineering and industrial machinery exporters
  • Metal producers and users impacted by steel and aluminum tariffs
  • Trade, customs, procurement and supply chain professionals
