The US tariff landscape continues to shift in rapid and sometimes unexpected ways. We’re pleased to announce the return of our trio of knowledgeable legal experts for another round of US tariff updates!

CSCB and CIFFA are pleased once again to jointly host Dan Kiselbach, Jessica Rifkin, and Robert Kossick for a lively and informative discussion about IEEPA tariffs, including the realities of working with US Customs and Border Protection’s CAPE refund application process. We’ll learn the latest about litigation involving not only IEEPA but other US tariff measures, and explore what could lie ahead in the context of the upcoming CUSMA/USMCA review.

This session will cover:

IEEPA refund update: Ongoing litigation at CIT
CAPE: practical, experience-based takeaways
Parallel commercial claims litigation related to IEEPA
Updates on sections 122, 232 and 301 investigations, litigation, and other developments
Other tariff authorities in the toolbox
