  • May 20, 2019 the Honorable Donald J. Trump President of the United
    May 20, 2019 The Honorable Donald J. Trump President of the United States The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: As leading American footwear companies, brands and retailers, with hundreds of thousands of employees across the U.S., we write to ask that you immediately remove footwear from the most recent Section 301 list published by the United States Trade Representative on May 13, 2019. The proposed additional tariff of 25 percent on footwear would be catastrophic for our consumers, our companies, and the American economy as a whole. There should be no misunderstanding that U.S. consumers pay for tariffs on products that are imported. As an industry that faces a $3 billion duty bill every year, we can assure you that any increase in the cost of importing shoes has a direct impact on the American footwear consumer. It is an unavoidable fact that as prices go up at the border due to transportation costs, labor rate increases, or additional duties, the consumer pays more for the product. This significant tax increase, in the form of tariffs, would impact every type of shoe and every single segment of our society. In fact, our industry’s trade association, the Footwear Distributors & Retailers of America (FDRA), ran the numbers and the results are staggering. FDRA estimates your proposed actions will add $7 billion in additional costs for our customers, every single year. This dramatic increase would be on top of the billions Americans already pay as a result of the current tariff burden on footwear imports that was started in 1930.

    March 19, 2018 The Honorable Donald J. Trump President of the United States The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: As leading American footwear companies and brands, with hundreds of thousands of employees across the U.S., we write to express our strong concerns over reports that the Administration may consider tariff increases on footwear as a potential Section 301 remedy. We support efforts to strengthen intellectual property protections around the world, and this has been one of the top priorities of our industry for many years. However, we reject the idea that the solution to this important issue is new hidden taxes on every American who buys and sells shoes. U.S. footwear imports already face astronomically high tariff rates that fall disproportionately on working class individuals and families. While U.S. tariffs on all consumer goods average just 1.3 percent, they average 11 percent for footwear and reach rates as high as 67.5 percent. In 2017 alone, U.S. footwear companies and U.S. consumers paid nearly $3 billion in these hidden taxes. This amounts to billions upon billions of dollars paid since these tariffs were first enacted in the 1930s. U.S. footwear tariffs stifle innovation and job creation and raise the cost of shoes for every American. Adding even more tariffs on top of this heavy burden would mean higher costs for footwear consumers and fewer U.S. jobs. Given the price sensitivity of our products, any additional increases in our costs would strike right at the heart of our ability to keep product competitively priced for our consumers.

    August 28, 2019 The Honorable Donald J. Trump President of the United States The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: On behalf of the American footwear industry, we urge you to cancel the new, added footwear tariffs set to take effect on September 1st and December 15th of this year. Although tariffs on some products from China will be delayed until December, the majority of footwear product lines face an added 15 percent tariff on September 1st. This American tax is on top of already- high footwear tariffs that average 11 percent and reach 67 percent on some shoes. The highest tariff rates generally fall on lower value shoes and children's shoes, driving up costs for hardworking American families. There is no doubt that tariffs act as hidden taxes paid by American individuals and families. When import costs rise and fall on imported footwear – whether based on the price of materials, transportation, labor, or tariffs – those cost increases or savings are almost immediately passed on to consumers. As U.S. Government data in the chart below demonstrates, U.S. import taxes directly impact consumer prices. As more than 170 footwear companies stated in our May 20th letter to you, the new tariffs impact every type of shoe and every single segment of our society. This added 15 percent tax will cost U.S. footwear consumers an additional $4 billion every year, according to our industry’s trade association, the Footwear Distributors & Retailers of America (FDRA). The September 1st tariffs on footwear will also mean these massive tax increases hit tens of millions of Americans when they purchase shoes during the holiday season.
