About The Webinar

European Union (EU) trade arrangements provide substantial benefits to the apparel industry, including duty-free access and rules of origin that in many cases are more flexible than those included in U.S. Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). It is critical for apparel companies with global sourcing strategies, as well as first-time or occasional exporters to the EU, to understand the provisions included in these FTAs and preference programs in order to successfully maximize their overall duty savings and increase their profit margins. 

This webinar will review the key apparel provisions included in the more significant and widely-used EU trade arrangements, focused primarily on the preferences provided to the EU’s largest apparel suppliers. 

Key Topics

  • The Generalized System of Preferences (including preferences for Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Myanmar, Pakistan, etc.)
  • EU FTA with Vietnam; EU FTAs with Mexico, Mercosur, Central America, Andean countries, and key African suppliers
  • EU trade preferences for Mediterranean countries (Morocco, Türkiye, Tunisia, Egypt, etc.)
  • A word on pending FTAs, including with India and Indonesia.
