Toy Association continues to encourage campaigning against toy tariffs
As previously shared in an email update to the full Toy Association membership, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) opened a comment period on reciprocal trade, following President Trump’s announcement of the “Fair and Reciprocal Tariff Plan.” Toy manufacturers are urged to submit comments on behalf of their companies if this issue impacts their sourcing countries and export models.
The public comment period is part of the USTR’s work pursuant to the America First Trade Policy Presidential Memorandum and the Reciprocal Trade and Tariffs Presidential Memorandum. These comments will assist the USTR in reviewing and identifying any unfair trade or non-reciprocal foreign trade practices.
The deadline for submission of comments is March 11, 2025. Click here to view the Federal Register Notice.
The Toy Association remains actively engaged in discussions about tariffs to ensure the voice of the toy industry is heard loud and clear by congressional leaders and White House officials. The Toy Association’s President & CEO Greg Ahearn, Chief Policy Officer Kathrin Belliveau, and Toy Association members have all been spreading awareness about the impact tariffs on toys would have on American families and businesses.
