Starting in March 2025, the U.S. Administration introduced new, broad-based tariffs on nearly all goods imported into the United States. These measures were justified as a means to protect the national economy and address the trade imbalance between the U.S. and other countries. The new tariffs represent a major shift in the global trade framework, with significant repercussions for Italian companies exporting to the United States. Key Made in Italy sectors, including mechanical engineering, agri-food, furniture, and fashion, now face tariff barriers that threaten to reduce competitiveness, squeeze profit margins, and complicate supply chain management.
The webinar aims to provide businesses with:
a) a clear, updated and practical overview of the new U.S. tariff measures and the most affected sectors;
b) a review of practical tools and potential strategies to manage the evolving situation.
The session will conclude with time dedicated to answering participants’ questions.
