Join us for an insightful webinar hosted by Sara Yood, CEO & General Counsel at the Jewelers Vigilance Committee (JVC), featuring special guest Peter Klestadt, a respected trade attorney with over 30 years experience in customs, import-export regulations, and tariffs at Grunfeld, Desiderio, Lebowitz, Silverman & Klestadt LLP (GDLSK). This session will explore the complex and evolving landscape of tariffs impacting the jewelry industry.
As global trade dynamics shift and the Trump administration continues to focus on trade and tariffs as an enforcement mechanism, understanding tariff classifications, duty rates, and compliance obligations is more critical than ever. This webinar will provide updates on the tariffs slated to be announced April 2 as well as practical guidance for businesses navigating import and export challenges in the jewelry sector. Key topics will include: current tariff adjustments affecting jewelry and related materials, enforcement trends and how customs is applying rules, strategies for mitigating tariff costs and ensuring compliance, and practical tips for importers, manufacturers, and retailers.
