Wisconsin’s shipping and logistics industry is at the front lines of helping companies in the state navigate Trump administration tariffs and global trade disputes.
At the customs brokerage M.E. Dey & Co. in Milwaukee, President and Managing Director Sandi Siegel works with businesses around the world to stay up to date on complying with the duties they need to pay to import and export their goods.
Most recently, President Donald Trump threatened tariffs of at least 20 percent on more than two dozen countries if they don’t reach trade agreements by Aug. 1. That includes the European Union, Canada, Mexico and Japan, in addition to the larger, ongoing trade dispute with China.
