Nearly one year after the signing of USMCA (NAFTA 2.0), the trade deal has yet to be ratified by Canadian or U.S. representatives. With major elections on the horizon in both nations, calls for renegotiations are likely to make it onto multiple party platforms. But what does this mean for Canadian companies?
Join BDO Canada’s leading customs and international trade expert Charmaine Goddeeris, and special guest speaker Damon V. Pike, the partner heading up Customs & International Trade Services for BDO USA, for a one hour webinar sharing their insights on the following topics:
- USMCA’s ratification process from a Canadian and U.S. perspective
- The U.S. government’s focus on mitigating the amount of foreign steel being “dumped” into the U.S. market, and what this could mean for the reinstatement of punitive tariffs
- Canadian and U.S. Customs crackdown: how to mitigate the risk of audit and penalty under the new landscape of enforcement, as well as uncover opportunities for savings and refunds
You will also have the opportunity to participate in the live Q&A session or have your questions answered confidentially.
