Two U.S. bills will impact the textile industry in the Mainland and Hong Kong

The U.S. legislators' reiteration of the two bills, if passed, will have an impact on textiles and clothing exports from Hong Kong and the mainland of China to the United States.

Senator Dianne Feinstein (California Democrats) again presented the "Asia-South Pacific Trade Preferential Act" (S. 1443) on July 28 to provide imported textiles and clothing from 13 least developed countries. Tariff-free treatment. These countries are not beneficiaries of U.S. trade preferences programs, including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, Kiribati, Laos, Maldives, Nepal, American Samoa, Solomon Islands, Timor-Leste, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu. .

S. If the 1443 bill is passed, tariff-free treatment will be provided to the clothing and other products of the above countries starting from January 1, 2012. These treatments are similar to those received by the beneficiary countries under the "Africa Development and Opportunity Act."

If the bill is passed to become a formal law, the implementation of the trade concession plan will reduce the costs of textile and garment manufacturers in Bangladesh, Cambodia and Laos, increase product competitiveness, and harm the interests of Chinese producers. However, the third country fabric clause in the bill will cause Chinese fabric shipments to reach the above three countries to soar.

Compared with other apparel supply sources in Bangladesh, Cambodia, and the United States, such as Vietnam, Indonesia, Nicaragua, and the Philippines, the number and value of garments exported to the United States from the Mainland have fallen, but it is still the largest supplier of clothing in the United States. The US import market is 35.7% and 33.7%. Tariff-free treatment will stimulate the United States' demand for a range of products in Bangladesh and Cambodia, including cotton and synthetic trousers, underwear, pajamas, shirts and women's blouses.

The US textile industry has consistently opposed preferential tariff treatment to Bangladesh or Cambodia. The National Council of Textile Industries warned that preferential tariff treatment will result in the loss of a large number of jobs in sub-Saharan African and Hemispheric and other underdeveloped and developing countries, and will cause serious damage to the American textile industry. The National Textile Association believes that China is the main supplier of yarns and fabrics in Bangladesh and Cambodia and is therefore the largest beneficiary of the bill.

On the other hand, Congressman Larry Kissell (North Carolina Democrats) and 16 MPs reintroduce the Textiles Law Enforcement and Security Act (H.R. 2754) on August 1st. The Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice grant resources, authority, and instructions to enforce US textile and apparel responsibilities.

The National Textiles Association, Cass Johnson, said on August 2 that it will consult with Senator Kay Hagan (North Carolina Democrats) during the summer session of Congress to propose similar proposals in the Senate. bill.

The National Textiles Association stated that its bill would expand the power of the Customs and Border Protection Bureau and defeat importers' fraudulent practices, including underestimating the value of goods, illegally claiming preferential tariff treatment, illegal transshipment of goods, and establishing a spectre company to counterfeit as an American manufacturer. .

The bill was originally filed last year and has caused controversy in the US garment trading industry. Certain articles have been referred to as redundant, and their legitimacy has also been questioned.
