On September 12th, 2019, members were able to participate in a webinar on "Current and Proposed Fur Product Regulations" organized by IACC Member, Grunfeld, Desiderio, Lebowitz, Silverman & Klestadt LLP.

Such regulations require the accurate identification of fur, as well as mandate a label with specific information (e.g., fur animal name, fur animal origin, processes performed to the fur, etc.).

As of early 2011, the Fur Products Labeling Act (FPLA) regulations did not apply to articles/fur components valued at $150 or less. This exempted most apparel articles with fur trim from coverage under the Act. However, the exemption was rescinded in March 2011, making the Act applicable to all fur product imports.

Tax and Tariff Matters In The Retail Industry Presentation
On November 5th, 2019 starting at 6:00PM for an informative presentation organized by IACC Member Crowe LLP on "Tax and Tariff Matters in the Retail Industry"

The trade war currently raging is not exclusively between the US and China. We currently find ourselves in the middle of a new frontier with Europe, focused almost exclusively on the retail markets. It is important for companies to be aware of the pending tariffs and how they might manage them.

In this session, experts from Crowe will dig into the reasons for the latest round of punitive duties and the likely outcomes of the dispute and will discuss classic methods to void them such as exclusions and exemptions, tariff engineering and first sale. We will also explore new ideas like the use of the de minimis exclusion for e-commerce and omni-channel distribution.
