Importers hail letter on end of textile limits
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, February 29, 2004
NEW YORK — NEW YORK — Textile importers are hailing a one-paragraph letter the U.S. government sent to the World Trade Organization in February.
Despite political pressure from the domestic industry to postpone the final lifting of textile quotas, the letter confirms the Bush administration's intention to remove all quotas on textile and clothing products on Jan. 1, 2005, said Laura Jones, executive director of the U.S. Assn. of Importers of Textiles and Apparel.
"The quotas are definitely going away at the end of this year," Jones said. "It really is going to be a whole new world for U.S. importers and for U.S. consumers. This … will improve the availability of textile and apparel products and lower prices for consumers."
