Practice Area
International trade is essential for the growth and development of global economies and businesses. As international trade has expanded and developed, so too have the myriad rules and regulations that govern it. The global compliance environment is becoming more complex by the day and can be difficult to navigate without the assistance of experienced counsel. Failure to comply with international trade rules and regulations—even if done so unwittingly—can lead to civil and criminal penalties, monitorships, consent agreements, debarment, reputational damage, substantial administrative burden, legal expense, and unsatisfied business objectives. Increasingly, there also is exposure for individual officers/directors, which can include monetary penalties and, potentially, jail time.

Eva Davis Shares Insights on Structuring Tariff-Impacted Deals with Mergers & Acquisitions
Winston & Strawn partner Eva Davis spoke with Mergers & Acquisitions about how it is possible to close deals despite uncertainty surrounding potential tariff impacts. She explained that in two deals that were close to signing in March, there was enough of a cushion in the sellers’ valuation expectations that when tariffs took effect on April 1, they agreed to reduce the purchase price and do an earnout to make up for the reduction that allowed the deals to close in April and May. She noted that in each transaction, the purchase price was based on an Ebitda multiple calculated over either a trailing or projected 12-month period.

What Is the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA)?
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) “establishes a rebuttable presumption that the importation of any goods, wares, articles, and merchandise mined, produced, or manufactured wholly or in part in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China, or produced by certain entities, is prohibited by Section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930 and that such goods, wares, articles, and merchandise are not entitled to entry to the United States”... “The UFLPA also requires the interagency Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force, chaired by the Secretary of Homeland Security, and in consultation with the Secretary of Commerce and Director of National Intelligence, to develop and submit to Congress a strategy for supporting CBP’s enforcement of Section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930 with respect to goods, wares, articles, and merchandise produced with forced labor in the People’s Republic of China.”

Imports are goods that enter the customs territory of a given country after having been exported from a foreign destination. Imports and exports together represent foundational aspects of international trade. Therefore, they are often subject to trade agreements between jurisdictions, trade remedies that increase the cost of importing goods, and more cross-border considerations. In addition, countries may impose customs duties and/or tariffs, in other words taxes, on goods that enter the customs territory of a given country. Imports are fundamental to international trade and commerce. As such, legal issues arising from imports may implicate foreign policy, regulatory compliance, and cross-border transactions.
