  • First Sale“ Rule, Resulting in the Assessment of Significantly Higher Duties on U.S
    February 11, 2008 The Hon. Michael Chertoff Secretary of Homeland Security Department of Homeland Security Washington, DC 20528 Dear Secretary Chertoff: The undersigned companies and associations strongly object to a recent proposal by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that ignores significant judicial precedent, suddenly seeks to overturn almost two decades of agency practice, and, if allowed to be implemented, would amount to a hidden tax on U.S. consumers. In a January 24 Federal Register notice, CBP proposed a new interpretation that will dramatically alter the way in which the transaction value of imported articles is calculated. This revised interpretation would overturn the so-called —first sale“ rule, resulting in the assessment of significantly higher duties on U.S. imports, leading to higher prices for U.S. consumers. In justifying this action, CBP is relying upon a non-binding commentary issued by the Brussels- based World Customs Organization‘s (WCO) Technical Committee on Customs Valuation to toss out 20 years of legal precedent and Administrative practice that have been consistently reaffirmed by U.S. courts and by CBP itself. This proposal is not only flawed and highly objectionable, but also is particularly disturbing with regard to the timing, process and manner that CBP employed to publish its position. The Administration and Congress have just completed work on an economic stimulus package that will promote more consumer spending, yet CBP is proposing a move that would undercut essential goals of that package. Moreover, while government and business have collaborated as partners to protect our ports and boost our economy, the decision to put forward such a significant change in practice without consultation with the U.S.

    Tuesday, February 2 Cipriani 42nd Street, NYC In the wake of the devastation brought about by the earthquake that leveled much of Haiti, the Underfashion Club has financially supported the efforts of Doctors Without Borders to provide emergency medical care to the survivors. Additionally, we applaud the efforts of so many other organizations, including K.I.D.S. (Kids In Distressed Situations,) a 25-year-old charity that has mobilized the apparel industry and already raised more than $6 million in products (clothes, socks, underwear and blankets) for the men, women and children of Haiti. Their efforts are ongoing and, in the months to come, as that country rebuilds and the news media departs, there will continue to be a need for a variety of items donated by manufacturers and retailers. If your company is is in a position to make new product donations in aid of this monumental relief effort, kindly consider contacting: 212.279.5493 / 800.266.3314 www.KIDSdonations.org The Underfashion Club, Inc.

  • Support Is on the Way!
    Support Is On The Way! In 1876, Samuel Cooper founded S.T. Cooper & Sons, the predecessor of Jockey International, Inc. Cooper started his hosiery business in St. Joseph, MI, to help lumberjacks who were suffering from their poor quality socks…laying Jockey's foundation for "Satisfying the Human Need for Comfort." By 1878, Cooper & Sons was producing nearly 2,500 pairs of seamless stockings each day. Over the next 25 years, Cooper's sons (Charles, Henry and Willis) became skilled in the business. In 1897, they introduced the Black Cat brand of hosiery for men, women & children, and in 1898, the brothers moved the company into an ambitious new direction…Men's Underwear. In 1900, the brothers incorporated as the Cooper Underwear Company and began producing White Cat underwear. The new Cooper Underwear Company mill was completed in 1902. This location still serves as the longtime headquarters of Jockey International, Inc. In 1912, the patented Cooper union suit, branded as the Kenosha Klosed Krotch, rose to the top of the underwear market and was sold faster than it could be produced. Cooper hired Joseph C. Leyendecker, illustrator for The Saturday Evening Post, to create the "Man on the Bag" image… a staple of the com- pany's brand identity and a classic American advertising image. In 1929, the Cooper Underwear Com- pany officially changed its name to Cooper's, Inc. That year, Coopers' developed the Singleton, a new- style union suit with short legs and a sleeveless top and packaged them in cellophane bags – a first in the underwear trade and a huge selling point in modern self-service apparel stores.
