Clothing

Over the years, yarn and cloth factories have complained that the free trade agreement is designed to strengthen the textile industry in the United States, but foreign production of yarn impersonation of American yarn is exempt from entry into the United States and undermines the design tenet of the free trade agreement.


At the same time, American textile leaders believe that many American garment importers underestimate imports from China, designed to avoid higher tariffs and create unfair competition for American clothing.

It is believed that the loss of customs revenue is more than 1 billion dollars.


To rectify the situation, dozens of members of Congress put forward an item in May 25th.

bill

We should strengthen customs border enforcement and conduct more examination on imported textiles.


In 2010, the textile law enforcement and Safety Act was the first textile enforcement law for customs enforcement. It was put forward by Larry Kissell (DN.C.), a member of Parliament, and was supported by members of several southern states and members of the two party parliamentarians. The textile industry in the southern part of the country was strongest.


The legislation will be given to the United States.

Customs

Provide the necessary tools.

Resources

And the effective implementation of Trade Law in order to create a level playing field for American workers.


Customs fraud is nothing new, but the leaders of the textile industry believe that fraudulent practices are rampant.

On May 20th, Cass Johnson, chairman of the National Committee of the Textile Organization of the United States (Cass Johnson), said on the house trade sub committee that illegal importers shipped illegal yarn to free-trade agreement countries, and after producing clothing, they entered the United States with zero tariff, and the price of each garment was reduced by 15%.

Asian yarns are not subject to zero tariff conditions. Since textiles and clothing account for 46% of us customs revenue and tax revenue is close to US $12 billion a year, we have huge stakes and free trade areas have great attraction for fraudulent activities.


The US industry reports that illegal activities are increasing compared with 5 years or 10 years ago.

It is widely felt that fraudulent importers and producers have identified loopholes in the free trade system, and they are making profits from these loopholes.


Johnson pointed out that the 2008 report of the general accounting office of the federal government investigation agency found that the customs imposed less than 500 million US dollars on anti-dumping and countervailing duties.

Recent reports have found that the underestimation of textiles and clothing from China is particularly serious.

He said one example would be that a female garment importer in New York might be able to evade taxes by up to $50 million or even higher.


Chinese goods are being underestimated by counterfeiting companies entering the Losangeles port. China's underrated clothing is tax evasion in the Central American Free Trade Agreement, the North American Free Trade Agreement and the Andean region. The annual loss of the US Treasury may exceed $1 billion.
