US Tariffs Workshop: Food and Drink

Learn how to manage the impact of US tariffs, driving resilience within UK food and drink manufacturing, wholesale and distribution.

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

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

The food and drink sector in the US is a source of great potential trade, but the announcement of incoming tariffs being imposed on UK goods has rocked the sector to the core. 

Businesses exporting to a previously stable trading partner will now need an understanding on how the 10% tariffs will be applied, and what else to be wary of in terms of charges for the coming months. 

This workshop will provide attendees with practical guidance which can be used by businesses to mitigate some of the challenges when trading with America today.  This session will explore the impact US tariffs have on the food and drink industry.  The session will also provide insight into leveraging rules of origin to your advantage, as well as looking towards customs special procedures which will become a valuable tool when trading with the US going forward.  This workshop will be beneficial for any business, large or small, which exports to US. 

This course is ideal for:

  • Wholesalers and distributors of food and drink products 
  • Manufacturers of finished products and ingredients  
  • Sales directors and business development managers 
  • Trade, customs, procurement and supply chain professionals
