SUMMARY:ITC Webinar: Navigating Tariff Pressures
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Beatriz Ramirez – International Trade Center Specialist\, Illinois SBDC at Champaign County EDC \nThe U.S. Administration has expanded the use of tariffs through Section 232\, International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA)\, and reciprocal trade measures\, framing them as tools of industrial and national security policy. While tariffs aim to restore supply chains\, protect critical industries\, and strengthen negotiating leverage\, they have triggered retaliatory measures from key partners. Small businesses face higher costs and market risks\, but they can adapt by diversifying their export markets\, restructuring supply chains\, leveraging duty relief programs\, and differentiating their offerings. Proactive alignment and strategic planning are crucial for mitigating risk and staying competitive in a rapidly evolving trade environment. \nDate: Monday\, October 27\, 2025\nTime: 10-11 AM \nRegister: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_qT4d0KW2Syi34lvBDMJoiw \n*After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nPLEASE NOTE: this webinar will be recorded and may be shared publicly.
