In light of the upcoming tariff reforms announced by the Trump administration, AGA is pleased to announce an exclusive online event designed to provide guidance and strategic insights for our members and their clients. The event will offer a comprehensive overview of the potential impacts of these reforms while also exploring opportunities that may emerge in this shifting trade landscape.

The session will feature experts from our member firms in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Mexico, and the US, who will break down the complexities of the proposed/in-place tariffs. Attendees can expect an informative discussion addressing the challenges and potential advantages of the new policies. The event aims to equip participants with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate this period of uncertainty.

Key Topics to Be Covered

Understanding the Tariff Reforms: The session will begin by explaining the scope and scale of the upcoming tariffs, including which industries and products are likely to be affected. This foundational knowledge will help businesses assess their potential exposure and prepare accordingly.

Potential Risk Mitigation Strategies:  Practical advice will be shared on mitigating the potential risks associated with higher tariffs. This might include exploring alternative sourcing options, optimising supply chains, and leveraging available trade programs to minimise costs.

Identifying Opportunities: While the tariffs present significant challenges, the event will also highlight potential opportunities. For instance, domestic manufacturers may see increased demand for locally produced goods, and businesses that adapt quickly could gain a competitive edge in new or emerging markets.

Staying Ahead of the Curve: The dynamic nature of trade policy requires businesses to stay informed and agile. The event will emphasise the importance of continuously monitoring regulatory changes and provide resources for ongoing support. 

Interactive Q&A Session

The event will conclude with an interactive Q&A session. Time permitting.

We are grateful to all our participants, Alistair Jaque, Lucas Spadano, Rory Cattanach, Peter Pang, Patrick Geissler, Adrian Vazquez, Emilio Arteaga and Olga Torres, for supporting this interactive discussion.

AGA is committed to supporting its members and their clients through periods of change and uncertainty. This event is part of a broader effort to provide valuable resources and foster a community of informed, proactive professionals. By attending, members and their clients will gain a deeper understanding of the upcoming tariff reforms and be better positioned to adapt and thrive in the evolving global trade environment.
