Beyond Tariffs: The Margin Risk Hiding in Plain Sight

Join us on June 25 2025 12pm ET!

For many suppliers and vendors, tariff risk has become a known challenge. But there’s a margin risk quietly eating into profitability: deductions.

From shortages and chargebacks to compliance fines and slow dispute cycles, unmanaged deductions are draining millions. And unlike tariffs, this is a cost you can control.

In this session, we’ll go beyond tariffs to uncover the hidden financial, operational, and opportunity costs of deduction inaction. You’ll hear real-world examples from suppliers who’ve turned recovery into a margin unlock, and walk away with practical strategies to reclaim revenue without changing your sourcing strategy or adding headcount.
