In this installment of the Tariff Chaos mini-series, Hammer & Heels (Renee & Julie) go global. Trade compliance isn’t just a U.S. challenge — and as tariffs expand across borders, organizations need to prepare for the complexities of tariff globalization.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

1. 
   

   Know Who’s Who in Your Organization – Identify key roles across finance, supply chain, purchasing, and customs in every country where you import, export, or produce.

   
   


2. 
   

   Stay Ahead of Global Regulations – Track resources like the Canadian Gazette, and lean on your international network for early insights.

   
   


3. 
   

   Use Your Brokers Wisely – Customs brokers abroad can be an invaluable source of regulatory intelligence. Build relationships with them to strengthen your global trade strategy.

   
   

Julie’s FIO (Figure It Out)

👉 This week’s action item: Reach out to at least one global point of contact (internal or external). Confirm their responsibilities, get their data organized, and make sure they know you’ll need their support as tariff globalization unfolds.
