U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) continues to aggressively enforce the ban on imports that contain forced labor inputs.  Increasingly, this is impacting supply chains in the transportation and equipment sectors, as CBP and some congressional stakeholders seek to hold automakers and manufacturers accountable for careful vetting of their supply chains.  In this webinar, we will discuss the latest compliance requirements, enforcement cases, and steps that bearing and gear companies can take to ensure that their operations are not adversely impacted.

In December 2022, the European Union member governments reached a deal to impose the world’s first major carbon border tax.  This “Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism” will add a tax to EU imports of steel and aluminum products that were not produced to sufficiently stringent carbon emission standards.  Under the new mechanism, companies will need to buy certificates to cover emissions generated by the production of goods imported into the European Union based on calculations linked to the EU’s own carbon price.  This webinar will examine the new tax mechanism in detail, cover its schedule for implementation, and provide practical guidance on what bearing and gear companies should be doing now to prepare.
