MarketWatch
DUBLIN, Ireland, Nov 13, 2014 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Research and Markets ( http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7faaee/the_clothesource_g) has announced the addition of the “The Clothesource Guide to Apparel Trade Regulations: Second Edition” report to their offering.

With a looming recession, and more and more talk of protectionism, it’s important for apparel buyers and sellers to keep on top of the changing rules on import duty and quotas.
This best-selling Guide has been updated in November 2014 to include all agreements signed by the EU and US up to the end of October 2014, and to review commitments made during his campaign by US President-elect Obama.
It summarises all the special duty concessions, quotas and penal import duties that the EU and US create to encourage or deter apparel imports from other countries. It provides:
– Clear lists of countries eligible for duty free clothing access to the EU and/or US — including details of the 30 “double-barreled” concession countries, which qualify for duty-free access to both the EU and US.
– Equally clear lists of other trade concessions and barriers.
– Easy-to-follow explanations of the workings of many schemes in the EU and US operate.
– Detailed, scheme, by scheme, reference to explanations of each scheme in the finest detail
– A simple analysis of the cost benefits to importers of the concessions or barriers each exporting country faces — allowing for differences in each country’s basic level of pricing.
– An easy-to-follow explanation of possible changes to each scheme, and the likelihood of such changes.
The guide provides a clear outline both of concessions (like America’s DR-CAFTA or the EU’s Economic Partnership Agreements) and of barriers (like anti-dumping duty).
For an additional fee, we will provide you with a regular briefing on changes which have occurred, with an automatically updated copy of the guide. Updates will be monthly, or more frequently if there are major changes, and will last for one year.
Key Topics Covered:
– The Basic Principles
– The major incentives and barriers: Access to the US
– The major incentives and barriers: Access to the EU
– Country options
– Country-specific trade barriers and trade preference agreements
– Likely Changes to the schemes
