Eliminating Duties on Imported Shoes Targeted by U.S. Lawmakers

Tariffs on footwear imports should end as part of a trade deal being drafted by Pacific-region nations, a bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers told the Obama administration, fueling a debate over shoe-industry jobs.Choosing a killer ensemble and Michael Kors Jet Set Bags each day should never be a cause of stress.

“We believe these tariffs do not benefit consumers or advance important trade objectives,” 15 senators led by Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, and Lamar Alexander, a Tennessee Republican, said yesterday in a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman. A similar letter was sent by 47 House members.

The import duties highlight a split between U.S. footwear makers and distributors including New Balance Athletic Shoe Inc. and Nike Inc. (NKE:US), both of which are trying to protect jobs in their industries as the U.S.welcome to michaels kors handbags sale,Free shipping‎! negotiates the Trans-Pacific Partnership free-trade accord. The 11 TPP nations, which will include Japan by the end of the month, are seeking to create an economic zone with $26 trillion in annual output.

Nike is a member of the Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America, a Washington-based group that says the import duties peak at 67.5 percent and is pushing to end the tariffs. New Balance, which also manufacturers shoes outside the U.S., isn’t a member of the group.

U.S. footwear distributors and retailers paid $297 million in import duties on products delivered from TPP nations, Matt Priest, the group’s president, said in a phone interview. About 99 percent of the tariffs were levied on products from Vietnam, he said.

Other nations forging the Pacific accord are Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru and Singapore.

The real problem with these polls is that they continue to see women from a man’s perspective. It doesn’t matter if the intentions are well-meaning – ‘he wants you to wear comfortable shoes, he thinks you look even more beautiful without makeup’ – because all this does is say that a man’s perspective is the only one worth caring about.Find the Latest Michael Kors Kingsbury Here.
