NCTO upholds US tariffs on imported apparels

Although majority of business organisations and industry associations such as the American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA), the National Retail Association (NRA) and the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) are protesting against President Trump’s proposed tariffs, there is one association which is taking the contrary stance and actually proposing new 25 percent tariffs on apparel and textile products coming from China.

National Council of Textile Organizations (NCTO), has proposed to the U.S. Trade Representative’s office on behalf of the U.S. textile industry to add apparel and textiles to the government’s initial proposed list of categories that will make up the first $50 billion in targeted China imports.

This 25 per cent proposed tariff on clothing would be in inclusion to all other duties currently leveled against clothing, which make up a significant portion of all the import duties collected by the government.

Levying of these tariffs, according to NCTO, will not only protect the intellectual property of the U.S. textile industry but also punish China for its unfair trade policies.
