USMCA: Are Your Footwear & Apparel Imports Aligned?

March 31, 2026 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM (EDT)

Description

Footwear and apparel imports present unique compliance challenges under the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA). Between intricate tariff shift rules, material composition thresholds, marking requirements, and constant product refresh cycles, even small errors in classification or origin determinations can lead to duty exposure, penalties, or retroactive assessments. 

This webinar is designed to help retailers, brands, sourcing teams, and trade compliance professionals identify risk areas before sourcing changes, design modifications, or supplier shifts create costly downstream consequences. The 60-minute virtual program features a moderated panel discussion (via Zoom) followed by audience Q&A.

This session will cover

  • Classification Accuracy & Tariff Engineering Risks
  • Country-of-Origin Rules & Marking Requirements
  • Managing Rapid Style & Sourcing Changes Without Compliance Gaps

Speakers:

  • Ana Hinojosa, Executive Director, Government & Regulatory Affairs, Oritain 
  • Elise Shibles, Partner, Advisory Committee, Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg, P.A.
  • Stephen Lamar, President & CEO, American Apparel & Footwear Association

Attendees will walk away with a clearer understanding of USMCA origin rules specific to apparel and footwear.
