Tariff and LEGO: Building Policy, Creating Pain

Tariff and LEGO: Building Policy, Creating Pain
Tech in Trade

Tariffs are becoming more than just rates tied to an HTS number. In this episode of Tech in Trade, we look at how recent tariff actions involving polysilicon, pharmaceuticals, Section 232 derivatives, and other programs are creating new layers of data, certification, and compliance requirements for importers. Like LEGO, tariffs can be used to build complex policy—but the more pieces scattered around, the easier it is for importers to step on one.
