Inside the webinar: North American compliance essentials
Tariffs and country of origin challenges
Tariff rates are climbing fast—up nearly 77% this year alone—and can make or break your North American expansion plans. Travis explores how to assess tariff exposure, determine true country of origin (especially subcomponents), and avoid long-arm jurisdiction issues that could trigger military or export controls.
Responsible sourcing in high-risk regions
With enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) ramping up, companies are now required to prove the absence of forced labor in their supply chains—a reversal of the traditional burden of proof. Travis shares tools and strategies for gaining transparency all the way back to raw material sourcing.
Extended producer responsibility and environmental compliance
Unlike the EU, there’s no centralized system for EPR in North America. Each U.S. state, Canadian province, and even Latin American country is rolling out unique requirements. You’ll learn how this patchwork of regulations affects everything from packaging to batteries—and how full material disclosure (FMD) helps tackle emerging issues like PFAS and TSCA restrictions.
Enforcement risk and litigation exposure
Non-compliance in North America doesn’t just mean government fines. Civil lawsuits and class actions—especially around PFAS and Proposition 65—are becoming just as damaging, if not more so. The conversation explores how compliance gaps can quickly turn into reputational damage, lost market access, and multi-million-dollar liabilities.
Building a scalable, data-driven compliance program
Travis and Jonatan walk through a clear formula to define and increase the value of your compliance efforts. From software solutions to data integrations and managed services, they outline how to operationalize risk mitigation in a way that’s sustainable, scalable, and aligned with your business strategy.
