AAFA Leads Industry Delegation to Capitol Hill to Pressure Trade Agenda

The American Apparel and Footwear Association (AAFA) led a delegation of industry representatives to Capitol Hill during the week of July 21-25 to discuss the "Preservation of the First Sale customs valuation program", the expired Generalized System of Preferences and Miscellaneous Tariff Bill laws, and other issues, said AAFA in a press release. While the AAFA didn't specify which lawmakers the delegation met with, it said they consulted with congressional leadership, as well as members of the Senate Finance and House Ways and Means Committees. AAFA will lead other visits to the Capitol in the coming weeks and months, said the release.
