US Senate Passes Tariff Relief Act
Jul 31, 2018

In January 2018, the US House of Representatives unanimously approved the Miscellaneous Tariff Bill and sent it to the US Senate for consideration.  The bill contains nearly 1,700 eligible petitions for the tariff break as reported by the U.S. International Trade Commission, which vetted applications for duty relief.  The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers estimate that the legislation would eliminate import tariffs of more than $1.1 billion over the next three years and boost U.S. manufacturing output by more than $3.1 billion.  The Senate, on July 26th, passed the legislation with amendments, requiring it to go back to the House for a vote before heading to President’s Trump’s desk.  The tariff cuts included in the legislation, which initially expired roughly six years ago, are expected to save businesses millions of dollars a year while making them more globally competitive.

2024 Advocacy Wrap-Up

PRINTING United Alliance's Government Affairs team had a productive year, advocating on several fronts to protect and advance the interests of the printing industry in the U.S. The printing industry’s role as a major economic driver was emphasized in advocacy campaigns. Contributing over $100 billion annually and employing 380,000 workers, the industry’s ties to the consumer packaged goods (CPG) sector further underscore its importance, with the latter adding $2.5 trillion to GDP and over 22 million jobs. Advocacy has emphasized these contributions to secure supportive policies from Congress and the administration.
