Tariff Whiplash: Vigilance in a Volatile Trade Era
At the 2025 FPA FlexForward Conference, trade attorney Meredith DeMent of Mowry & Grimson PLLC delivered a sobering update on trade volatility in the manufacturing sector: the tariff landscape has become as unpredictable as the markets it’s reshaping.
Even more uncertainty looms as the U.S. Supreme Court considers the legality of these tariffs. If the Court rules against the administration, companies may be eligible for refunds — but DeMent cautioned that any victory could be fleeting. “If IEEPA [International Emergency Economic Powers Act] tariffs are struck down,” she warned, “expect the administration to recreate them under other statutes that have already survived legal scrutiny.”
