On April 2, 2025, sweeping changes to U.S. trade policy were announced under a new executive order invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Dubbed the “Reciprocal Tariffs,” this move introduces steep new duties on goods from countries with existing trade deficits or high barriers to U.S. products, impacting sectors from furniture to pharmaceuticals.

To help companies navigate this complex and fast-changing landscape, Caldwell, Bureau Plattner, and Miller & Chevalier hosted a practical, cross-border webinar diving into the key takeaways, strategic implications, and compliance considerations surrounding the new U.S. tariff regime.

What we covered:

  • The scope and structure of the new Reciprocal Tariffs, including how rates were calculated
  • The legal authority and national emergency declaration underpinning the executive order
  • Key exceptions and country-specific applications, including clarification on rules of origin
  • The impact on goods already in transit, and how to handle goods with U.S.-origin components
  • What to expect from the 90-day “pause” and the potential for future modifications
  • What Italian and EU exporters need to know about U.S. sanctions, CFIUS scrutiny, and countermeasures
