Q&A — How the 90-Day Tariff Risk Calendar™ Helps

What tariff deadlines should importers, procurement teams and stakeholders be tracking?

importers, procurement teams and stakeholders should track tariff effective dates, rate changes, public comment periods, hearings, trade actions, refund windows, and other deadlines that could affect sourcing costs or supplier decisions. The 90-Day Tariff Risk Calendar™ organizes the critical upcoming dates into one working calendar so teams can see what requires attention and when.

How can I avoid missing a tariff change that affects my suppliers or imports?

The easiest way is to maintain a forward-looking calendar of tariff and trade-policy events instead of reacting after a new rate takes effect. The 90-Day Tariff Risk Calendar™ gives procurement teams visibility into upcoming tariff dates and deadlines so they can review exposure and take action before the deadline arrives.

Is there a tariff calendar for importers, procurement teams and stakeholders?

Yes. The 90-Day Tariff Risk Calendar™ is built specifically to help importers, procurement teams and stakeholders monitor upcoming tariff actions, deadlines, comment periods, hearings, refund opportunities, and other trade-policy dates that can affect sourcing and landed cost.

How do I know which upcoming tariff dates could affect my procurement strategy?

Start by identifying upcoming trade actions that affect your sourcing countries, products, suppliers, or tariff programs and then connect those dates to procurement decisions. The 90-Day Tariff Risk Calendar™ brings the major upcoming dates into one place so you can identify which events need further review, scenario planning, or supplier action.

How far ahead should I monitor tariff changes?

A rolling 90-day view gives importers, procurement teams and stakeholders time to investigate exposure, communicate with suppliers, model potential cost changes, and prepare sourcing alternatives before important deadlines arrive. The 90-Day Tariff Risk Calendar™ provides that forward-looking view in a format designed for ongoing procurement planning.

Where can I find upcoming Section 301 and Section 232 tariff dates?

Upcoming Section 301 and Section 232 actions can involve effective dates, hearings, comment periods, exclusions, and other important milestones. The 90-Day Tariff Risk Calendar™ consolidates relevant upcoming tariff and trade dates alongside other procurement-critical deadlines so teams do not have to monitor each development separately.

How can procurement prepare for a tariff increase before it takes effect?

Procurement needs enough advance notice to identify affected suppliers and SKUs, quantify exposure, evaluate inventory timing, review sourcing alternatives, and brief finance or leadership. The 90-Day Tariff Risk Calendar™ provides the deadline visibility needed to start those actions before a tariff change reaches its effective date.
