Cotswold Industries CEO James McKinnon meets with South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham
NCTO - CHAIRMAN’S NOTE
A Landmark Victory for U.S. Textiles and a Powerful Reminder of What We Can Achieve Together
This week our industry has reason to celebrate a major victory in the fight for fair trade—despite facing ongoing headwinds and an enormous amount of trade uncertainty.
Yesterday, President Trump signed an executive order suspending duty-free de minimis treatment for all global commercial shipments, effective August 29, 2025.
This action marks the beginning of the end for one of the most destructive loopholes in U.S. trade law—a loophole that for too long has allowed billions of dollars of cheap, subsidized, and often illegal imports to flood into our country unchecked. Half of those shipments are estimated to be textiles and apparel.
Make no mistake: this milestone would not have been possible without industry leadership and the relentless efforts of NCTO member companies and staff.
