Tariffs hit nearly ALL consumer goods imported from China: Last evening, the Trump administration proposed punitive tariffs on a list of approximately $300 billion in products (also known as Tranche 4), including pages of apparel, footwear, and related goods. This followed Friday's announcement that the punitive tariffs on $200 billion worth of imports would rise from 10% to 25%.

It is essential that the industry speak up now. Here are four ways to get involved:

1) Submit comments and testify on Tranche 4: Industries will have the opportunity to speak out through public comments and testimony. While AAFA plans to testify, we also encourage individual companies to get involved. Contact Steve Lamar and Nate Herman with questions.

2) Contact the Administration and Congress: AAFA has developed form letters to send to the Administration and your Members of Congress.

3) Share your story: AAFA has received numerous media requests asking to speak with members about the impact of tariffs. If your company would like to connect with the press, contact Alex Gibson.

4) Join AAFA's member-only webinar on May 20 for the latest updates.

For more on what AAFA has been expressing publicly, see yesterday’s press release (and others at aafaglobal.org/news) as well as our around-the-clock interviews with the media (e.g., Fox News, CNN, Yahoo Finance, PBS Newshour, Washington Post, New York Times) – a few clips below in addition to the Trade segment above.

Supporting domestic preferences with the Berry Amendment: Earlier this month, AAFA joined with nearly 20 organizations and unions to send a letter of support for the Berry Amendment to members of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees, urging restoration of key protections undermined in past years. The letter also opposes harmful recommendations made by the 809 Commission.
