Listen as Karen Murphy International Trade Advisor and Trade Compliance Expert, and Rosemary Coates, Executive Director of the Reshoring Institute, discuss the current state of tariffs and trade.

Karen Murphy is a Silicon Valley senior executive veteran of several companies including Flex and Applied Materials, and an expert in trade compliance. Her vast experience offers a rare discussion of the difficulty of complying with U.S. import and export regulations.

In this episode, Karen and Rosemary discuss technology changes, globalization, and particularly the rise of manufacturing in China and how these events over the past 25 years have shaped trade compliance regulations. Karen also tells us about the current changes in strategy by the Trump Administration affecting trade practices and the chaos it is causing for trade professionals. Trade compliance is the “tip of the spear” in importing and exporting and as it grows more complex, more expertise and technology are required to operate effectively.

Every country has regulatory infrastructure that trade compliance professionals must understand and work with. These regulations apply to physical shipments, foreign nationals, software, and technical discussions.Regulations change frequently, especially in the current environment.
