06 Feb 24 1 min read

The National Council of Textile Organizations (NCTO) has firmly endorsed the recent initiative by the US administration to combat “unfair trade practices,” linking such practices to the closure of eight manufacturing facilities in the last quarter.

This is as per reports, which further added homeland security secretary Alejandro N Majorkas recently revealed a swift 30-day action plan designed to address these practices, highlighting collaboration with various agencies and the private sector.

The plan aims to enhance the UFPLA Entity List, holding companies accountable.

The NCTO is eager to contribute to refining the plan, specifically focusing on robust enforcement to counteract the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act and address the misuse of the de minimis rule, which has led to numerous unchecked imports adversely affecting the US industry.
