“We are delivering fantastic sourcing, compliance and product development data, analysis and support to our members and we will focus on continuing to build them up. We are also very close to eliminating duties on footwear from Vietnam through TPP and we will keep that momentum strong in DC by engaging policymakers in more innovative and aggressive advocacy campaigns”, said new FDRA Chairman Rick Muskat.
