Multi-Industry Letter to Senators Klobuchar & Thune on the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022

ASTA issued a letter to Anita Thomas, Secretary, Office of Europe and the Mediterranean U.S. Trade Representative, in September 2004. The letter objects to the proposed inclusion of 3 product categories on the list of goods for which tariff concessions may be withdrawn, and duties may be increased in the event the US and EU cannot reach an agreement for adequate compensation owed under WTO rules as a result of EU enlargement and changes to its rice import regime.

ASTA issued comments to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in November 2008 in response to the notice and request for comments regarding the implementation of revised Lacey Act Provisions.
