As Indian retail and D2C brands scale globally, duty exposure, HS classification, and documentation risk become critical levers shaping margin stability and customer experience. This closed-door roundtable brings together founders and senior leaders to decode the operational, financial, and compliance challenges of expanding across major corridors ASEAN, EU, Middle East, and especially the U.S., were complexity and cost impact rise sharply.

Designed as a high-signal, insight-driven conversation, the session unpacks how exporters can build predictable landed costs, reduce classification friction, and strengthen governance before entering their most influential market: the United States.

Key Themes of Discussion:

• Global View: Retail exporters face different cost pressures across ASEAN, EU, Middle East, and U.S.
• Friction Points: Duties and classification begin shaping market choices earlier than most founders expect.
• Inflection Point: The U.S. is where duty impact, HS complexity, and documentation risk escalate sharply.
• Margin & Experience: Classification errors, duty surprises, and port-specific differences directly affect margin and customer experience.
• Future-Readiness: Brands that scale predictably into the U.S. invest early in capability, governance, and landed cost discipline.

Who should attend: 

• Founders & CEOs (export-led brands)
• CFOs and Finance Heads
• COOs and Supply Chain Leaders
• Heads of International Expansion / Global Logistics
