What Every Multinational Should Know About…Managing the Aftermath of the Supreme Court’s IEEPA Tariff Decision (Part II)

The importer of record is the entity that initially pays all tariffs and thus is the entity that would receive any IEEPA tariff refunds. Nonetheless, behind the scenes there often are a variety of mechanisms importers of record may have used to handle the often unexpected tariffs, including pushing back on suppliers for price concessions, using surcharges to pass along tariffs, or general price increases.

Pricing Stability and Supply Continuity: Strategic Contracting for Reshoring

Moving manufacturing operations back to the U.S. can reduce tariff exposure and simplify logistics, but it introduces new challenges such as labor shortages and operational risks. Companies must weigh these trade-offs carefully. To manage cost fluctuations, manufacturers are turning to well-crafted pricing adjustment clauses — either index-based (tied to public indices) or cost-based (tied to actual supplier costs) — to ensure fair and predictable pricing. With U.S. suppliers often operating near capacity, manufacturers should use tools like quantity commitments, liquidated damages, safety stock requirements, and diversified sourcing to protect against disruptions and ensure reliable supply.
