Supply chains in times of turbulent trade policy

Effects of volatile tariffs, dealing with legal disputes and contractual strategies to minimise risk

The constant expansion of global customs measures is leading to considerable uncertainty and rising import costs in many sectors. Numerous industries are under pressure from constantly changing trade policy measures.

What are the civil law implications of volatile customs duties on international supply chains? What contractual options do companies have to be able to react quickly and flexibly to the risks of global customs measures?

Dr Matthias Spilker, Felix Schmidtke and Dr Yannick Möller will provide you with a compact overview of these questions in the webinar on 22 May 2025.

We will shed light on the following topics:

• Financial risk for increased customs duties: Overview of the legal situation of cost and risk distribution in the supply chain
• Active contract management for customs hedging: price adjustment clauses, force majeure provisions and other instruments for responding to trade conflicts
• Negotiate with foresight: Contractual strategies to secure supply relationships and minimise customs risks

Get practical tips from our experts on how you can optimise your contracts to be best prepared for unforeseen customs changes.

The webinar focusses on contractual aspects of customs measures in the supply chain and does not deal with specific customs law issues.

Participation in the event is free of charge. Please note that the event will be held in German.

We look forward to seeing you!
