In a world where tariffs shift overnight and regulatory updates arrive before they’re published in the Federal Register, staying ahead of tariff and duty announcements has never been more critical for companies engaged in international trade. That was the central theme of our webinar panel “Compliance Agility in an Era of Regulatory Uncertainty” featuring four seasoned leaders in global trade at General Mills, Johnson & Johnson, and Johnson Controls, along with one of our own trade experts at e2open. With decades of experience across CPG, healthcare, manufacturing, and trade technology, these experts share strategies on how to stay informed when policy shifts hit without warning or outside expected channels. Andy Simmons, a senior solutions director at e2open, joined the conversation to highlight how tools like the Import Cost Calculator can boost compliance agility.
