Damon highlights the critical need for companies to meticulously track customs duties. He also stresses the importance of keeping accurate documentation and understanding the timeline for filing refund claims in the event of tariffs being invalidated, though he advises small firms to seek expert partners for these specialized and time-consuming processes.
