The United States Fashion Industry Association (USFIA) on Wednesday announced it had joined alongside U.S. manufacturers, retailers, agricultural and food producers, and other supply chain stakeholders to form the Tariff Reform Coalition, a coalition dedicated to ensuring clearer guidelines and Congressional oversight on Presidential tariff authority.
The organization issued the following statement:
“The increasing use of tariffs as a negotiating mechanism negatively impacts American companies and consumers, as well as creates a historic imbalance between Congressional and Executive powers. The Tariff Reform Coalition is focused on restoring the balance of power delegated to the President on tariff authority and supports increasing Congressional oversight over tariff matters.
“The USFIA is pleased to join the Tariff Reform Coalition as we continue to work to eliminate tariff and non-tariff barriers that impede the fashion industry’s ability to trade freely and create jobs in the United States. Creating balance in managing U.S. trade policy between Congress and the Executive Branch is crucial to our economic well-being, and we look forward to working with the Tariff Reform Coalition and the Administration to find a solution that establishes the appropriate balance on trade authority.”
