About Wistia



 

Key Takeaways:

1. Passage of miscellaneous tariffs bills and Generalized System of Preferences will help lower costs for OIA members, particularly on footwear and travel goods.

2. China tariffs will likely remain for the foreseeable future – there is a chance that stakeholders will have another opportunity to make the case that certain products will be exempt from the tariffs.

3. OIA is working on legislation to add footwear to the GSP program which will provide additional duty savings to outdoor companies looking to diversify their sourcing options

4. Get support. Sorini, Samet and Associates offers OIA members exclusive opportunities to learn about trade policy and strategies for navigating the trade environment. Learn more.
