Video has become one of the most effective tools for building brand visibility, educating customers, and communicating internally. Yet for many businesses, producing video consistently—especially for social media, marketing updates, and training—requires a significant investment of time, coordination, and budget that is difficult to sustain long term.

At Schnee Vice Productions, we have spent years producing event coverage, promotional videos, and branded content for companies that need to communicate professionally and efficiently. A common challenge we see across industries is not the lack of expertise or ideas, but the ongoing effort required to turn that knowledge into consistent, high-quality video output.

In response to this need, we are launching a new AI-powered video avatar solution designed to help businesses scale their video communication while dramatically reducing time commitment and production costs.

The process is intentionally simple: companies begin with a short, guided recording session to capture a high-quality visual and voice reference. From that single session, AI technology allows us to generate hyper-realistic video content that can be reused and adapted for social media, marketing communication, internal training, and product education—without the need for continuous filming or complex production logistics.

The benefits are practical and measurable:less time spent on content creation, faster turnaround, predictable output, and the ability to maintain a consistent professional presence across multiple platforms. For busy executives and teams, this removes one of the biggest barriers to maintaining consistent visibility in today’s digital landscape.

We are excited to introduce this new capability to IACCSE members and are offering priority access and preferred introductory terms for a limited number of companies interested in exploring this AI-assisted approach.

Italy has recently strengthened its support for internationalization with the launch of SIMEST’s new “USA Measure”: a dedicated financial package aimed at fostering Italian companies’ presence in the United States. 

The initiative combines subsidised financing and equity instruments, offering an integrated approach to support both market entry and long-term consolidation. It is worth noting that this is not a standalone SIMEST product, but rather a package of additional incentives to be combined with existing SIMEST internationalisation financing tools. 

With an overall allocation exceeding €300 million, the measure reflects a broader export strategy promoted by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

A key feature is the availability of soft loans at highly favorable rates, coupled with non-repayable grants of up to 10% of the financed amount. Additional advantages include 50% advances through an increased first disbursement tranche, as well as financing durations extendable up to 8 years for the “Digital or Ecological Transition” and “Entry into Foreign Markets” products.

In addition, SIMEST can directly support Italian companies through equity investments in U.S. subsidiaries, facilitating the establishment of local entities or joint ventures with American partners. 

Eligible projects include a wide range of activities: setting up commercial networks, strengthening capitalization of U.S. subsidiaries, conducting market analysis, and developing partnerships. The measure is also accessible to companies that are not yet exporters but are part of internationally oriented supply chains. 

Overall, the SIMEST USA Measure offers a concrete opportunity for Italian companies entering the U.S. market. In this context, we remain available, together with the IACCSE, to help companies assess project feasibility, eligibility requirements, and the most appropriate structuring of their investment path.

Cybersecurity threats are evolving rapidly, and many of today’s incidents no longer start with malicious software. Instead, cyber–attacks are increasingly identity–driven, targeting user accounts through phishing and business email compromise. While multi-factor authentication helps, it does not fully prevent account takeover or misuse once credentials are compromised. 

For business owners, this shift has real operational and financial implications. A single stolen account can lead to ransomware, fraud, data exposure, or prolonged business disruption. As a result, organizations are moving beyond basic protections toward round–the–clock monitoring of both devices and user identities to detect suspicious activity early and limit its spread. 

This trend is also influencing the insurance market. Cyber–insurance carriers are tightening underwriting requirements, increasingly asking for proof of 24/7 monitoring and response across endpoints and identities— not just MFA, antivirus, or backups—heading into 2026. 

A cybersecurity assessment helps businesses understand how exposed they may be under this new threat landscape. It evaluates: 

• How user identities and sign-ins are protected 

• Whether devices are monitored for suspicious behavior 

• Where gaps could increase security risk, downtime, or insurance challenges 

• At TeamLogic IT West Miami, we work with professional firms and growing companies to help translate these risks into clear, actionable priorities. An assessment provides business leaders with practical insight—not just technical findings—so decisions can be made with confidence. 

• To support fellow members of the Italy–America Chamber of Commerce Southeast, we are offering a members–only discounted cybersecurity assessment throughout the month of March.

In recent years, U.S. import tariffs have become a strategic issue for companies operating in global supply chains. In addition to ordinary duties under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), many businesses are now facing additional tariffs introduced through trade and economic security measures, with a direct impact on landed costs and profit margins. As a result, tariff management can no longer be treated as a post-import compliance exercise.

Companies are increasingly integrating customs planning into their supply chain and pricing strategies to manage exposure in a lawful and sustainable way.

One of the most effective tools available under U.S. customs law is the First Sale Rule. When a supply chain involves multiple parties—such as a manufacturer, an intermediary, and a U.S. importer—this rule may allow the customs value to be based on the price of the first sale, rather than the final sale to the U.S. buyer. Because ad valorem duties are calculated on declared value, applying the First Sale Rule can lead to meaningful duty savings.

The First Sale Rule is not automatic. It requires a clearly structured supply chain, arm’s-length pricing, and evidence that the goods were clearly destined for export to the United States at the time of the first sale. U.S. Customs and Border Protection increasingly focuses on the economic substance of transactions and on the quality and consistency of supporting documentation.

For this reason, the First Sale Rule should be designed in advance, through coherent contracts and internal processes, rather than applied retroactively. When properly implemented and coordinated with other customs planning tools, it can become a practical cost-optimization strategy for companies importing goods into the United States, helping them remain competitive in an increasingly complex trade environment.

A new hub for Italian truffle culture in the U.S.

Founded in the heart of the Langhe hills and internationally recognized for its white truffle excellence and product innovation, Tartuflanghe has recently opened a new space in Miami, strengthening its presence in the U.S. market.

Located in the city’s vibrant core, the new venue serves as a multifunctional hub to introduce American audiences to the richness of Italian truffle culture. It features a showroom with seasonal fresh truffles, a curated selection of the brand’s gourmet specialties, and customizable gift boxes for personal or corporate gifting.

More than just a retail location, the space is designed to host B2B meetings, truffle tastings, chef-led cooking sessions, educational masterclasses, and curated culinary experiences tailored to professionals in the food and hospitality industries. The venue is also available for private events and exclusive activations in collaboration with local and Italian partners.

This opening represents a strategic milestone for the company’s U.S. operations, offering a physical anchor for connecting Italian artisanal excellence with key American buyers, distributors, and institutions.

To further enrich the brand experience, the new space will soon host a series of cultural collaborations, including immersive activations developed with design partners. These collaborations aim to blend food, art, and storytelling, enhancing the way American audiences engage with the heritage and contemporary creativity behind the truffle world.

Tartuflanghe has been present in the U.S. since 2018 with an official branch, managing both B2B operations and direct-to-consumer sales via its American warehouse. The new Miami space will serve as a regional base for activities throughout the Southeast and beyond, positioning the company to better engage with the growing demand for high-end Italian food products in the area.

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court is hearing arguments on the legality of the tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), enacted in prior administrations to address perceived national-economic threats. Lower courts (CIT and CAFC) have already expressed serious doubts about the lawfulness of these tariffs, opening the possibility of a partial or full annulment. However, it is important to note that any refunds will not be automatic: the Court may limit relief to the named plaintiffs or certified class members in the pending lawsuits.

Best Practices for U.S. Importers

1. Review CBP Entry Summaries (Form 7501) to identify entries that included IEEPA-related duties.
2. File Post Summary Corrections (PSC) for any unliquidated entries still within the correction window.
3. File Protests within 180 days of liquidation to preserve refund rights.
4. Request Suspension of Liquidation from CBP, citing the ongoing Supreme Court litigation.
5. Keep all documentation—entry summaries, proof of payment, and broker correspondence—for at least five years.
6. Review and update sales contracts to include tariff refund sharing and change-in-law clauses.
7. Document payment of U.S. duties (in invoices, purchase orders, and entry records) to establish a direct financial interest.
8. Consider joining a group or protective filing at the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) to secure refund rights.
9. Consider utilizing a Free Trade Zone (FTZ) until the Supreme Courts makes its decision.
10. Evaluate participation in advocacy coalitions such as “We Pay the Tariffs,” which provide valuable updates and coordination opportunities, though membership alone does not preserve individual refund rights.

Last but not least, coordinate closely with your customs broker to monitor liquidation status and potential corrections.

Next Steps

• Expected Supreme Court Decision: April–June 2026
• Recommended actions by December 2025: complete PSC and protests; evaluate participation in group or class actions.
