This Simply Trade podcast episode delves into the dynamic world of international trade with its accomplishments, disputes, and the looming unknowns.

US-EU Steel Aluminum Deal: The hosts explore the unfolding US-EU steel aluminum deal, its pathways and potential impacts. They also delve into the implications of the EU’s carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) and its effects on the cost of US goods in European markets.
EU's Green Tariffs: Andy reveals the contentious face of the EU's green tariffs, a measure attracting criticism because of its bureau-centric approach that deflates the notion of free trade.
China’s EV Subsidy Probe: Our hosts further discuss the launch of the EU's subsidy probe into Electric Vehicles (EV) by China, interpreting China's defense as a call for fair play in international trade. Lalo draws an interesting analogy with the Pinewood Derby car race, emphasizing the need for a level playing field.

The Four-letter Word We Love in Canada! Talking CARM and all things Canada trade with Kim Campbell

This episode looks at the Canadian Border Services Agency's Assessment and Revenue Management system, better known as 'CARM.' With industry veteran Kim Campbell sharing her expertise on this subject matter, you'll learn more about CARM—and may even have questions answered!
Main Points
The episode heavily focuses on CARM, a significant component of the modernization agenda.
CARM, unlike its manual predecessor, automates the accounting process, thereby making progress from a largely paper-based system. A quote of the day came from Kim Campbell, who labelled CARM as a "four-letter word that we all love in Canada."
This episode answers what CARM stands for - CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management system.
One of the benefits of CARM is that importers can now have direct insight into their state of affairs with customs.
An additional advantage of CARM is its ability to facilitate direct payments, including via credit cards.
Interestingly, the conversation also hinted at a potential AES 2.0 in the United States, opening the floor for future discussions.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to navigate the trade sector in the digital age, with a particular spotlight on Canada. Kim Campbell's seasoned insights and the hosts' relatable narration make the complex discussion on CARM easily digestible.

Uncovering the Power of US Foreign Trade Zones: Your Secret to Gaining a Competitive Advantage with Liz Connell

Discover the billion-dollar benefits of US Foreign Trade Zones in the latest episode of Simply Trade podcast! Uncover how these zones create jobs, save money, and protect businesses in an increasingly volatile regulatory environment.
Join Andy, Lalo, and their guest, Liz Connell from Thomson Reuters, as they dive deep into the world of Foreign Trade Zones (FTZs) and their significance in today's economic landscape.
Key Discussion Points
Liz emphasizes the need for FTZs in the current trade environment. With billions of dollars saved annually and job creation in the US, FTZs have never been in higher demand.
Contrary to popular belief, FTZs provide substantial financial and social benefits: bringing jobs to the US, reducing operational costs, and increasing investment opportunities.
Managing cash flow is crucial for CFOs looking to optimize financials. Hence, FTZs can provide attractive opportunities to better manage cash flow by delaying duties and taxes.
One hurdle to overcome is the lack of legislative change to adjust the law related to de minimis shipments from FTZs. Foreign companies currently have an advantage over US companies in this area.
This engaging episode of Simply Trade sheds light on the vital role FTZs play in bolstering the US economy and keeping businesses competitive in our evolving global trade landscape. As Liz Connell notes, FTZs will continue to be a sought-after solution for businesses looking to protect their bottom line in today's unpredictable world.

The Inflection Point in Logistics: An Exclusive Conversation with Craig Fuller, CEO of FreightWaves

Welcome to the latest episode of Simply Trade podcast. Dive headfirst into this richly immersive conversation as hosts, Andy and Lalo, steer the show into the logistical heart of trade. Tapping into logistics and its monumental role on the trade, they host a special guest, none other than the logistic guru and CEO of FreightWaves, Craig Fuller.  This is part 1 of 2 of our interview with Craig.
The hosts and Craig plunge into a fascinating exploration of various sectors:
1. Impact of COVID-19 on the Transportation Industry:Craig Fuller discussed the significant effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the transportation industry. According to Fuller, COVID-19 instigated a freight recession that began in the first quarter of 2020. This led to a substantial decline in freight volumes and overall market activities, hitting a low point in mid-May.
2. The Freight Industry's Recovery:Despite the substantial downturn, Fuller saw signs of hope for the industry. Recovery was evident as a gradual upturn in the freight industry began. Despite a significant 45% drop in manufacturing orders due to the impact of the pandemic, the industry has shown remarkable resilience and has begun to bounce back.
3. Boom and Bust Cycle in Logistics Industry:Fuller drew attention to the cyclical nature of the logistics industry. It reflects a three-year "hypercyclic" pattern, alternating between periods of boom and bust, which was further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, causing the industry to hit extreme lows and highs within a compressed timeframe.
This episode resonates with the subtleties of change within the logistical heartbeat of trade. The fresh insights Craig Fuller offers are invaluable, reflecting the indomitable resilience of the industry, pushing back against COVID-induced turmoil and heralding an imminent recovery.
