AAFA Pushes for Fairer Tariff Rules
The American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) is urging the Trump administration to introduce a non-cumulative clause in the tariffs on Chinese imports. This move comes as American businesses and consumers feel the squeeze from rising costs due to current tariff structures.
Why the Non-Cumulative Clause Matters
A non-cumulative clause would ensure that tariffs are not added on top of existing duties for the same products. This change could help reduce double taxation and ease the financial burden on US apparel and footwear companies. The AAFA believes such a policy will help stabilize prices for consumers and foster a healthier business environment amid ongoing trade tensions with China.
As trade negotiations continue, the association remains committed to protecting American industry and shoppers from unnecessary costs. For more details, visit the original report below.
