New Tariffs Starting September 1st - NAMM Joins Call for Immediate Resolution

August 26, 2019: New Tariffs Starting September 1st - NAMM Joins Call for Immediate Resolution

Aug. 26, 2019: NAMM, together with the National Retail Federation, US Chamber of Commerce, corporations and businesses, calls for an immediate resolution to the current—and ever-changing trade war and Chinese tariff threats. Current actions—actual and anticipated—dramatically impact economic stability in the music products industry and across other industries and ultimately impact consumer buying power and economic stability.

Tariff actions are being made unilaterally by the executive branch (president and his trade personnel) in its legal capacity to advance and align national security interests. Currently, there is no regular order for direct appeals for exemptions beyond those submitted in June to the US Trade Representative.
