WASHINGTON, D.C. – April 12, 2019 – Today, the American Apparel & Footwear Association expressed its support for the Mongolia Third Neighbor Trade Act following its introduction in both the House and the Senate. The bill would provide duty-free access to the U.S. market for products made in Mongolia, using Mongolian cashmere.
“Mongolian cashmere is a brand in and of itself. This bill would provide a market for Mongolia’s authentic cashmere, supporting growth and creating jobs throughout the U.S. cashmere value chain,” said Rick Helfenbein, president and CEO of the American Apparel & Footwear Association. “At the same time, by passing the Mongolia Third Neighbor Trade Act, Congress would forge a stronger partnership with our friends in Mongolia and provide American consumers with better access to these high-end products.”
