For April, we are highlighting Christopher Gottlob, CHB Supervisor in our Detroit, MI branch. Christohper has a bachelor’s degree in supply chain management. Christopher started working at JAS in 2017 as an intern. In 2019, he moved into a brokerage position and found that he enjoyed doing customs entries more than moving freight. Christopher took and passed the Licensed Customs Broker exam in 2020 during Covid, which gave him plenty of time for studying. In 2022, Christopher became the CHB Supervisor in Detroit. Christopher has been able to follow the HTS GRIs and cross reference with CBP rulings to help clients find more appropriate HTS codes and in some cases, that has led to lower duties, saving his client on duties!
Christopher is married to his wife Megan, and they have a 2 year old daughter and are expecting their second in July. Christopher and his family have 2 cats, and a dog. He loves to go Detroit Lions games as a season ticket holder, golfing and enjoying his cabin in north Michigan with family and friends.
Christopher is another great example that People Make the Difference!
Dear Valued Client,
On July 7, the administration has notified several different countries including Japan and South Korea of their new reciprocal tariffs that are expected to be applicable as of August 1. These letters are related to the reciprocal tariffs from the April 2 Executive Order 14257 that were paused starting on April 9.
Additionally, the President has signed an executive order extending the 10% reciprocal tariff to continue until at least August 1.

Dear Valued Client,
The President has posted on Truth Social that a deal has been made with Vietnam. The preliminary details indicate that Vietnam will be subject to 20% tariff on goods sent directly to the US and 40% on goods transshipping. The President’s post indicates that Vietnam will open their markets to the United States.
Currently this has only been posted on social media. It is not an official announcement.
Additional updates will follow once they are available.
On June 4, the Court of International Trade determined that IEEPA does not give the President authority to impose reciprocal or drug/border tariffs. The administration immediately filed an appeal and requested a stay.
On June 10, the Court of Appeals Federal Circuit (CAFC) issued the stay which means that for the time being, the IEEPA tariffs will remain while the courts litigate on this matter.
Oral arguments are scheduled for July 31 and a final decision from CAFC is not expected until at least August.
