The Loadstar

Hello and welcome to the Loadstar podcast. I'm your host, Charlotte Goldstone. And in this episode, we are going to be diving into one of the biggest stories currently shaping global trade. That is US tariffs. And just when many US importers thought they were turning a bit of a corner after the US Supreme Court struck down Trump's AIPA tariff regime and the refund process began, the landscape has now shifted once again, and we are seeing the emergence of lots more tariffs. So to help me make sense of what all of this means, I'm going to be joined by

CEO of Trade Force Multiplier, Cindy Allen. We are going to be discussing how the current tariff refund process is progressing. We're also going to be looking at why the US administration has been allowed to introduce more tariffs after the AIPA tariffs were ruled unlawful. We are going to be looking at what importers need to do to stay compliant and how freight forwarders, customs brokers and shippers can prepare for what looks set to be a very volatile trade environment going forward. Let's get straight into the episode.

Cindy, hello, and welcome to the Loadstar podcast. Thank you so much for joining me. It's great to have you here. Thank you for having me. I appreciate it. Firstly, before we get into all the nitty gritty, I'm going to give you a nice easy question. Can you please introduce yourself and what you do at Trade Force Multiplier? Yeah, so I'm Cindy Allen.
