Butzel Hosts Dec. 16 Webinar | 2026 Tariffs Outlook: How to Mitigate Risks and Claim Refunds

December 3, 2025
DETROIT, Mich. – It has been a turbulent year with new baseline tariffs on all countries; country-specific tariffs on products from Brazil, Canada, China, India, and Mexico; and product-specific tariffs on autos and medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and parts, buses, and steel, aluminum, copper, and timber and lumber and their derivatives.

Butzel’s Global Trade and Tariff Team is hosting a free webinar from 11 a.m. – Noon, on Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2025 titled, “2026 Tariffs Outlook – How to Mitigate Risks and Claim Refunds.”

In this webinar, attorneys Jennifer Smith-Veluz, Mitchell (“Mitch”) Zajac, Catherine Karol, and Priya Dalal of Butzel’s International Trade, Tariffs, and Customs Specialty Team, will provide a practical explanation of:

  • The current tariffs and how they stack up together
  • The U.S. Supreme Court cases challenging some of these tariffs and possible opportunities for claiming refunds
  • Strategies for mitigating tariff risks
  • The importance of understanding Incoterms and whether tariffs are a basis for invoking force majeure

Butzel attorneys also will look ahead to potential additional tariffs that may be imposed in 2026 and the impact of the tariffs on jobs, businesses, and investment.

Visit the Tariff and Trade Resource Center on the Butzel website for the most up-to-date news on tariffs, trade, and business implications.
