Simply Trade [News]: Electrifying Times Ahead: Automotive Unions, EVs, & Unforeseen Trade Challenges

Unravel the mystic tales of trade laws as the "Simply Trade" podcast takes a comically unique dive into France's peculiar import laws regarding clown paraphernalia in this week's episode of trade news roundup. Hosted by Annik, Lalo, and Andy, the show is a delightful blend of information and light-hearted banter.
Main Points
The quirky highlight of the episode is the discussion about a curious trade law implemented in France around 2014 that bans the importation of any items related to clown outfits due to a wave of violence linked to people dressed up as clowns. The intriguing part is that the revocation of this law isn't yet established, arousing the curiosity of our hosts and listeners alike.
The team digs into the increasing tensions in the automotive industry between unions and manufacturers due to the possible automation introduced by manufacturing Electric Vehicles (EVs).
Notably, they point out how the shift towards EVs, encouraged by the same unions, might be creating a job crisis with the decrease of manual labor. Unions now face the challenge of securing employment in an increasingly automated industry.
The potential implications of the looming auto strikes in Detroit are discussed extensively. Particularly, they reflect on how such strikes could disrupt supply chains and create a ripple effect on vendors, possibly leading to a slowdown or halting production.
The hosts also emphasize the need for businesses to plan for disruptions, ensure timely invoicing, and adapt to the rapidly shifting landscape.
The "Simply Trade" podcast generously serves insights with a garnish of humor in this fascinating episode, skillfully threading the lines between legal quirks and pressing industry disruptions like impending auto strikes. By navigating through critical trade scenarios, the team underlines the importance of adaptability in business and awareness of global trends.
Enjoy the show.

Simply Trade [Crimes]: True Crime Meets Trade, Unraveling a Real Trade Deception Story with Jennifer Horvath

In this intriguing episode of the Simply Trade podcast, a real-life trade horror story unfolds that's sure to keep you riveted. Hosts Lalo and Andy celebrate their podcast's first anniversary by introducing a fresh format, tackling intriguing court cases and frauds. In this episode, they are joined by special guest Jennifer Horvath, a gifted customs and trade attorney from the law firm, Braumiller Law Group, to dissect an ongoing 'true crime' in the world of trade.
Main Points
This episode centers around a fascinating case: U.S. v. Greenlight Organics. Key discussion points include:
Origin of the case: It started unusually when a competitor sent a detailed letter to Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) alleging fraud against Greenlight Organics. The accusation was that Greenlight was importing fabric under false classifications, resulting in lower duties.
Potential implications: The accused, Greenlight Organics, if proven guilty, will not only owe the correct duties but may also face penalties under the DOJ Department of Justice False Claims Act.
The role of rivals and available public data: The details that led to this accusation were not obtained through covert means, but from publicly available tour data, demonstrating the significance of transparency in trade practices.
One of the key takeaways is emphasized by Jennifer: "...company executives and just persons at a company [need] to be aware of you know indicators of fraud or if they are aware of it you know happening in their company by other people...address any errors that they do come up. And that's all the customers want in the end."
This episode teases out the intricate details of a trade fraud case in a gripping narrative, shedding light on the importance of authenticity and the consequences of deceptive practices. Listening to it will offer executives, owners, and service providers valuable insights on potential pitfalls to avoid in their operations.

Simply Trade [Tech] Discover QuickCode’s AI’s Game-changing Tech for Trade Classification

Welcome to the latest episode of the Simply Trade Podcast! In this tech-focused episode, we'll explore QuickCode.ai, a system that enables users to save time and improve efficiency when it comes to tariff classification. Our guests for this intriguing conversation are Shannon Hynds, the CEO of QuickCode, and Joe Morales, the CTO of QuickCode.
Key Points Discussed:
Background of QuickCode: Founded two years ago, QuickCode initially began as a text classification company using AI. The team later discovered the challenges associated with HS classification and decided to focus on creating a solution specifically for the trade industry.
The AI behind QuickCode: The product uses a large language model, different from traditional machine learning, which has proven to be a game-changer in HS classification. By incorporating feedback from trade professionals, the AI becomes a valuable tool that assists users in classification tasks.
Human role in classification: While AI can significantly reduce time spent on classification (up to 5 to 10 times faster), there's still a need for a human touch. As the current law requires human involvement for classification, QuickCode ensures humans remain an essential part of the process.
Additional features in QuickCode: Over time, the team has added new features to the system to improve its classification capabilities further. These additions act as a "co-pilot" and help users justify their classification choices.
To fully grasp what QuickCode offers and how its AI technology can transform tariff classification tasks, be sure to watch the demo as well. The link to the video demo can be found in the below.
