In an international landscape marked by rising tensions, the reorganization of global value chains and the return of protectionist policies, customs duties have once again become a central element of both government strategies and business decision-making. Their use as a geopolitical tool affects competitiveness, business location decisions and the global allocation of profits. Companies are facing increasingly complex challenges that require an integrated approach combining tax, customs and legal considerations. Key issues include the management and recovery of duties already paid, as well as the coordination between transfer pricing and customs regulations, particularly when dealing with complex jurisdictions such as the United States.
The webinar offers a comprehensive perspective on these dynamics, combining a geopolitical and economic overview with a practical operational focus. Following an introduction to the evolving global landscape, the discussion will examine the impact of customs duties on profitability and the allocation of taxing rights among jurisdictions. A dedicated focus on the U.S. framework will then explore duty refund procedures and recent developments before the U.S. Court of International Trade, highlighting their implications for exporting companies. Finally, the webinar will address the relationship between transfer pricing and customs duties, with particular attention to issues involving the IRS and the tools available to prevent double taxation.
The webinar is designed for multinational companies and professionals seeking a deeper understanding of the interconnections between geopolitics, international taxation and global trade.
