The American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) has updated its Legislative Matrix to reflect regulatory items pending during the Lame Duck session and upcoming year.
The Matrix provides insight into a number of proposed bills and amendments likely to affect the apparel and footwear industries.
According to AAFA, policy makers are expected to address trade measures, such as legislation granting Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR) to Russia and Moldova and a package of miscellaneous tariff bills (MTBs) consisting of new proposals for duty relief as well extensions of hundreds of expiring provisions.
Additionally, the AAFA-supported Affordable Footwear Act and a measure to strengthen the US-Philippine trade partnership are likely to be addressed during Q4.
