USMCA: What Businesses Need to Know Now
With the USMCA review underway, businesses across North Carolina are navigating a complex and uncertain North American trade environment. Join us for an inside look at what the review process means, what is known versus what remains speculation, and what a potential annual review could mean for businesses.
Hear directly from business leaders about how tariffs, trade uncertainty, and cross-border relationships with Canada and Mexico are affecting manufacturers, exporters, importers, suppliers, and customers. We’ll explore which sectors are most exposed and how companies are responding.
The discussion will also look ahead at potential scenarios over the next 12–24 months and provide practical steps businesses can take now to prepare for changes to USMCA, tariffs, and North American trade policy.
Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of what’s happening, what’s ahead, and how to plan for uncertainty.
*Open to all interested stakeholders, regardless of NC Chamber membership
