Here are the 4 fundamental points for the Italian and European fashion supply chain that emerge from the details published jointly by the United States and the EU to clarify the bilateral trade agreement. By La Conceria.

1 – the 15% duty applied to the export of European products to the USA remains in force;

2 – the 15% rate is not additional and therefore does not accumulate with the existing ones;

3 – to avoid the phenomenon of triangulation, the US and the EU will negotiate the rules that will define the origin of products;

4 – strict customs controls are provided for the incorrect classification of goods, the undervaluation of products or the falsification of the country of origin.
