FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The National Agricultural Law Center will host an upcoming webinar, “International Ag Trade Update: Tariffs, IEEPA, Refunds, & Related Issues,” on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, from noon-1 p.m. EDT or 11 a.m.-noon CDT.
International agricultural trade remains a central issue across the agricultural sector, with a range of recent developments and emerging challenges continuing to shape the landscape. This webinar will provide an overview of several key issues, including the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision addressing tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, and its potential impact on agricultural trade.
The program will also examine ongoing refund litigation, recent activity in strawberry and tomato antidumping cases, and other related developments affecting producers, agribusinesses, and trade stakeholders.
The webinar will be presented by Leslie Alan Glick, an international trade expert in the Business and Finance Practice Group at Fennemore Law in Washington, D.C.
Glick focuses on international trade and customs law and represents clients before the U.S. International Trade Commission, Department of Commerce, Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, and the Court of International Trade. His practice includes extensive work on antidumping, countervailing duty matters, and tariff-related issues under Sections 232 and 301, including the agricultural sector.
In addition to his trade practice, Glick advises clients on regulatory compliance before federal agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and Federal Trade Commission, particularly in matters involving food products and imports. He has represented agricultural clients in antidumping investigations involving products such as fresh-cut flowers, tomatoes, and mushrooms from Mexico, Chile, and Colombia, and has experience working with both growers and importers.
Regarding the recent Supreme Court case striking down the IEEPA tariff, Glick noted, “Many assume tariff refunds will be issued automatically, but that is not the case. The process for obtaining refunds is complex and requires proactive steps. This webinar will walk participants through what they need to know to navigate that process effectively.”
“Agricultural trade is constantly evolving, and staying informed on legal developments is critical for stakeholders across the country,” said Harrison Pittman, director of the National Agricultural Law Center. “This webinar highlights the Center’s commitment to delivering timely, objective information on complex and impactful issues.”
Glick earned his Juris Doctor from Cornell Law School and his Bachelor of Arts from Cornell University. He is also the author of books on both NAFTA and the USMCA.
