CLA is taking part in an upcoming webinar exploring how issues including tariffs and transfer pricing impact supply chain opportunities.

Curious about supply chain options in Southeast Asia? CLA is taking part in an upcoming webinar exploring how issues including tariffs and transfer pricing impact supply chain opportunities in the region.

As part of Beyond China: Building Resilient Electronic, Machining & Metal Fabrication Supply Chains in Southeast Asia, CLA manufacturing professionals will answer questions including:

  • Tariff roadmap — Given how quickly IEEPA, Section 232, and 301 rates are shifting, what does a practical tariff roadmap look like, and how do you keep it agile rather than reactive?
  • Transfer pricing — Transfer pricing as a top tactic for multinationals. How should leadership decide when to adjust intercompany pricing in response to tariff exposure, and where do companies most often get it wrong?
  • Transfer pricing — With limited ability to modify transfer pricing on amended returns, what documentation should companies have in place today to defend an arm’s length position in both countries during an audit?
  • Quick wins Which “tariff hygiene” actions deliver the biggest immediate margin protection in the first 90 days, regardless of where tariff rates settle?
  • Invoice splitting — What are the most missed non-dutiable cost categories, and how should manufacturers structure commercial invoices without crossing the line into undervaluation?
  • Duty drawback — With refund timelines taking months, when does a drawback program pay off, and what ERP and documentation capabilities are non-negotiable?
  • FTZ vs. bonded warehouse — How should a manufacturer weigh a Foreign Trade Zone against a bonded warehouse for cash flow deferral, and what operational trade-offs come with each?
  • First sale — For related-party transactions, what does a first sale structure look like, and how high is the documentation bar U.S. Customs expects?
  • Country of origin — With substantial transformation and regional value content rules under scrutiny, what does a defensible country-of-origin position look like, and how should companies prepare for a five-year look-back?
