📹️ Event Notes: US Duties vs Peak Season: What to do now (and what to fix in January)

On September 16th, I hosted a webinar with Alex Yancher and Thomas Taggart from Passport, where we dug into one of the toughest questions supply chain operators are facing right now: how do you protect margin and keep customers happy when tariffs, duties, and landed costs are all shifting under your feet?

We covered everything from how to price in duties without killing conversion, to which markets are easiest to expand into, to real case studies of brands like Ridge, OGEE, and ShipBob.

Here are my notes from the session 👇
