What does the tariff-refund process actually look like—and what can companies learn from those that have already navigated it?

 

Join GACC Midwest for a practical webinar featuring firsthand insights from companies and experts involved in the reimbursement process. Rather than focusing solely on policy, this session will explore the real-world experience: what worked, where challenges arose, and what importers should consider before beginning a claim.

Our speakers will discuss:

  • Sean Aasen, Porter Wright Morris & Arthur LLP, Co-Chair Regulatory and Administrative Law Practice Group will provide an overview of the current tariff situation and the latest developments.
  • Lessons learned from navigating the tariff-refund process
  • The roles of finance teams, customs brokers, legal advisers, and other stakeholders
  • Documentation and internal preparation that can help support a claim
  • Common challenges and potential delays
  • How an entry’s liquidation status affects the available refund process
  • Important timelines—including when a protest may be needed to preserve refund rights
  • What companies should be doing now to evaluate potentially eligible entries

 

Valeria Wasiliadi, Head of Finance, Richard Wolf Medical Instruments Corp. will share her firsthand experience managing the reimbursement process from the importer’s perspective. She will be joined by Justyna Marczyk, National Import Compliance Director - Gebrueder Weiss Inc., who will provide practical customs and compliance insights.

 

The webinar will also address the latest tariff developments and recently issued CBP guidance; what has changed, what remains uncertain, and what these developments could mean for German companies doing business in the United States.

 

This session is designed as an open exchange of experiences and practical insights. Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions and learn from experts as well as a company that has gone through the process.

 

Join us to hear the lessons learned, understand the latest developments, and identify the questions your company should be asking now.
