The 10% Section 122 tariff stay and new "negligent selection" liability rules have just flipped the script for U.S. shippers. If your supply chain isn't agile, your bottom line is officially at risk.

Tariff Chaos & Cash Flow

The Court of Appeals just stayed the injunction on Section 122, meaning the 10% surcharge is back in full effect. When you combine this with the new two-tier Section 301 forced-labor framework affecting 60 countries, landed costs for importers are skyrocketing. Don't wait for the invoice to adjust your pricing. Audit your supplier-specific mapping immediately and leverage the CAPE system to track any eligible duty refunds.

The "Negligent Selection" Trap

A landmark Supreme Court ruling now allows state-level negligence claims against brokers and shippers. This expands your liability exposure significantly. If you aren't rigorously vetting carrier safety ratings and insurance, you are legally exposed. In this new era, accountability is the only way to protect your brand from the fallout of a carrier’s mistake.
