These mixers are more than events—they’re spaces to connect, learn, and support one another on the journey of building something meaningful.

Webinar — 6/25
Understanding How International Duties Impact Your Brand
Hosted by The Folklore’s Nnenna and led by global trade expert Karen King, Founder and CEO of Frontera Global Advisory, this insightful session broke down complex customs and tariffs into actionable guidance for global brands.
Key takeaways included:
-
Customs duties and tariffs are essentially the same: taxes on imported goods.
-
Every product has a 10-digit classification code used to determine duty rates.
-
Where you manufacture matters—two similar factories in different countries can result in very different landed costs.
This kind of education is vital for brands that sell or produce internationally.
