00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:12.519
Hi, you have done too, dear censure. Wow for you young.

2
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:21.879
This is the Pipe Man here on the Adventures Pipe

3
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:25.079
Man W four c Y Radio, and I'm very excited

4
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:29.320
about what we're talking about this week on the Positively

5
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:34.000
Pipe main segment with Powerful business Strategies. It's the Trump

6
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:39.000
tariff freebates and Michael Barbarita from Next Step CFO is

7
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:42.200
here with us to tell us all about it.

8
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:47.200
Thank you, Dean. So I'm not gonna get political about Trump.

9
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:51.399
I'm just gonna say what's happening with respect to the

10
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:56.119
tariff situation. So the Supreme Court disallowed all those tariffs

11
00:00:56.159 --> 00:01:00.560
that started last April of twenty twenty five. Now only

12
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:06.840
the importer of record can get the rebate. So what

13
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.640
I'm telling all my clients is anybody who used the

14
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:17.599
Trump tariffs as an excuse to increase prices, they should

15
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:23.719
be called and either future purchases come through at a

16
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:29.400
lower price to make up for that, or get some

17
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:34.519
type of rebate yourself. Because what happened was is everybody

18
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.799
used as an excuse to increase prices the Trump tariffs,

19
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.200
and now everybody is getting a rebate. Now, when I

20
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:45.560
say everybody, once again, just the importer of record gets

21
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:51.239
the rebate, but they receive dollars for the purpose of

22
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:54.840
to cover those rebates that they I'm sorry to cover

23
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:58.879
those tariffs that they're now getting rebates on. So anybody

24
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:00.920
who's used that as in ax, you got to go

25
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:03.719
back to them and ask them for some type of

26
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:11.400
rebate or future discounts on prices because you're not going

27
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:14.240
to get the benefit. You pay for the rebates theoretically

28
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.199
and you're not going to get the benefit. You're not

29
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:20.080
going to get the benefit from them. So it's really

30
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.479
important that you go back in your thought process or

31
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.599
notes or whatever it is that the reason why people

32
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:30.120
increase prices, if they were due to the Trump tariffs,

33
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:34.439
then you deserve a rebate because they are getting them.

34
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:40.599
Yeah. You know, it's such an important subject here because

35
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:45.039
I think people don't really understand the tariffs and the rebates.

36
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:50.120
Right, but they paid for them, right right.

37
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.879
I know this first and from something I bought, you know,

38
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:59.199
So you know it's I think people need to go

39
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:03.879
to some body like you that can give them solid

40
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:08.560
advice from solid research instead of them guessing and then

41
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.680
they end off end up ahead of the game instead

42
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:13.680
of behind the eight ball.

43
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:18.000
Yeah, and one of my clients who followed through and

44
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:21.599
went back to this there were that particular client had

45
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:25.039
three or four suppliers who used the Trump rebate as

46
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:28.599
an excuse to increase prices and went back to them

47
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:32.840
and didn't get a rebate, but got a great deal

48
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:37.240
on future purchases for a period of time. So it's

49
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.240
it's important that you follow up because everybody's falling asleep

50
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.319
on it, right if you you know historically what you

51
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.400
paid is you know, it's forgotten and is in the

52
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:51.639
as in the distant memory, distant past exactly. But I

53
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:55.120
think a lot of business owners who got who were

54
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:57.759
given the excuse that the prices went up because of

55
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.360
the Trump tariffs need to push back now. Time to

56
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.479
push back because they're not getting the rebate. Only the

57
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:08.280
importer is getting the rebate. So whatever that chain is,

58
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:11.120
and that chain might be two or three levels back,

59
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:16.879
well you've got to you've got to have your supplier

60
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:21.839
push back on there on the importer. So if there's

61
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:24.879
a chain there, potentially, but by the same token you paid,

62
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:28.319
you're overpaid for something that somebody's going to benefit back,

63
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:31.360
benefit tremendously on If you don't push back.

64
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:33.879
Oh absolutely, without a doubt.

65
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:37.079
I know Imagina being that that importer or that you

66
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:40.839
know that never gets any pushback was able to increase

67
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:42.759
price and that get some rebate.

68
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:48.079
Yeah, exactly. So how can people reach out to you

69
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:51.120
to get more information about stuff like this and other

70
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:54.360
things that could be some powerful business strategies for them.

71
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:57.199
Well, they just have to go to my website NEXTEPCFO

72

76
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:17.079
with three strategies that they can implement now and the

77
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:20.079
impact that those strategies should have on their business based

00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:23.160
