Michael sits down with Blair Forrest — yes, the one lifting scary barbells, flying solo without an assistant, and casually rethinking the entire North American logistics map.They dive deep into the 2025 tariff chaos: why brands are panicking, how bonded warehouses are basically international waters (minus the pirates), and what it actually means to “wait out” a multi-million dollar shipping problem.From FTZ hacks to cross-border inventory plays, this is your tactical survival guide for the madness — whether you're paying $5K or $300K per container.It's messy. It's essential. It's surprisingly therapeutic. We'll see you in The PPC Den!
Good news, bad news, bad news, bad news. 50% 232 tariffs now only apply to the value of the steel/Al content, but other content must pay IEEPA tariffs, more goods are covered, and FTZ status is retroactive. More on Two Minutes in Trade.
In this episode, we explore how Richland County’s status in Foreign-Trade Zone 181 helps local manufacturers deal with tariffs—specifically, by delaying when payments are due.

MCALLEN, Texas - Ralph Garcia, vice president of international business recruitment for McAllen Economic Development Corporation, has spoken about new industrial space being created on the north side of his city. “As we continue to grow as a community, one of the challenges that we have on the south side, being close to the border, is availability of real estate. And so the City took the initiative on the north side,” Garcia explained. “They purchased a 1,200-acre site along with the McAllen Foreign Trade Zone. The FTZ purchased an additional 211 acres and it's right between an airport and an old military base.” Moore Air Base is an inactive U.S. Air Force facility that was sold to private concerns and partially transferred to the Department of Agriculture. “That airport is still used, so that's a site that we're promoting for new development, new projects,” Garcia said. Garcia made his comments in an in-depth presentation to site selectors who were brought down to the Rio Grande Valley by the Council for South Texas Economic Progress. The event was held at the Forum by Regency in Pharr. “We're currently working on a project for a high-tech facility that's being quoted out to several different construction companies in our area. It's about us $50 million or $60 million project we're excited about. We hope to get something going here pretty soon,” Garcia said. Garcia also spoke about the McAllen Foreign Trade Zone. He said it was established in 1968 and covers 800,000 square feet. “The Foreign Trade Zone really was our community trying to establish a base for industrial developments. The Foreign Trade Zone still caters to a lot of our industry. If you're bringing in raw materials from other parts of the world and you want to bring it into an FTZ without having to pay duties or taxes you can still do that,” Garcia said. Some of the revenue the McAllen FTZ generates goes to McAllen EDC, Garcia explained. “Some of that we get to spend an economic development which is quite unique. It helps fund a lot of the things that we do.”Editor's Note: Go to the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service to read the full story.To read the new stories and watch the news videos of the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service go to www.riograndeguardian.com.

More targeted policies and business potential are expected for the China (Xinjiang) Pilot Free Trade Zone this year, to boost foreign trade in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.今年，中国（新疆）自由贸易试验区有望出台更多针对性政策和挖掘商业潜力，以促进新疆维吾尔自治区对外贸易的发展。The regional government expects to make the FTZ a hub for reform and opening-up, where major projects and leading companies are introduced, and innovative measures taken in facilitating investment and trade, Erkin Tuniyaz, chairman of the regional government, said when delivering the government work report at the opening ceremony of the second session of 14th Xinjiang People's Congress on Tuesday.2024年1月30日，新疆维吾尔自治区政府主席艾尔肯·吐尼亚孜在第十四届新疆人民代表大会第二次会议开幕式上作政府工作报告时表示，自治区政府期望将自贸区打造为改革开放的枢纽，引进重大项目和龙头企业，并采取创新措施促进投资和贸易便利化。The three subzones in Kashgar prefecture, Urumqi and Horgos will implement half of the 129 pilot reforms planned for this year, according to the report.报告指出，喀什地区、乌鲁木齐和霍尔果斯三个片区今年将实施129项计划中的一半试点改革。Xinjiang borders eight countries including Russia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Pakistan, and has the longest borders and most land ports in China.新疆与俄罗斯、哈萨克斯坦、塔吉克斯坦和巴基斯坦等八个国家接壤，拥有中国最长的边境线和最多的陆路口岸。The FTZ, established on Nov 1 last year and covering almost 180 square kilometers, has become a driving force to boost China's opening-up to Central Asia, West Asia and South Asia.自贸区于去年11月1日成立，覆盖面积近180平方公里，已成为推动中国向中亚、西亚和南亚开放的重要力量。Since the unveiling of the Kashgar subzone on Nov 11, a total of 86 companies have registered with an investment of more than 12.59 billion yuan ($1.75 billion), according to Dong Youhua, deputy director of the development and reform commission of Kashgar prefecture, who is also a deputy to the congress.据喀什地区发展和改革委员会副主任、大会代表董有华介绍，自喀什片区于11月11日揭牌以来，已有86家公司在该片区注册，投资超过1259亿元人民币（合17.5亿美元）。A series of innovative modes of operation are underway. Cargo inspected at Kashgar Customs will be able to pass Turgart port directly to avoid a second inspection and improve logistics efficiency from February.一系列创新的运营模式正在进行中。从2月起，喀什海关检验的货物将能够直接通过图尔尕特口岸，以避免二次检验，提高物流效率。Xinjiang's first one-stop exported vehicle industrial park opened in Kashgar on Jan 3. An industrial park built for Kyrgyzstani companies was established in Kashgar. The prefecture also opened cargo flights to Moscow, according to Dong.1月3日，新疆首个一站式汽车出口产业园在喀什开园。喀什还建立了为吉尔吉斯斯坦公司服务的产业园，并开通了至莫斯科的货运航班。Li Yang, deputy general manager of Xinjiang Changxin Electronic Technology, a lighting equipment producer, said the FTZ has helped promote its foreign trade in many ways.新疆长新电子科技有限公司是一家照明设备生产商，其副总经理李阳表示，自贸区在多方面促进了公司的对外贸易。"Before that, we transported goods ourselves. Now we can share the same truck with other companies under the arrangement of the government, so that the logistics cost can be reduced," he said.他说：“在那之前，我们自己负责运输货物。现在，我们可以在政府的安排下与其他公司共用卡车，从而降低物流成本。”The government also helped the company build an overseas warehouse in Kazakhstan in December, so that customers can receive their goods faster at lower prices.政府还帮助该公司在哈萨克斯坦建立了一个海外仓库，于12月投入使用，以便客户能够更快、以更低的价格收到货物。He added the government will also organize trips for companies to visit foreign countries, in which he hopes to participate, so that the company can better know clients' needs.他补充说，政府还将组织企业出国考察，他希望能够参加，以便公司更好地了解客户的需求。Rayhangul Sudan, Party secretary of Kashgar Construction Engineering and a deputy to the congress, said Kashgar's fame increased significantly after the establishment of the FTZ, and many companies came to invest.喀什建工党委书记、大会代表热依汗姑丽·苏坦表示，自贸区成立后，喀什的知名度显著提升，吸引了许多公司前来投资。The group's Hualing international trade market, which is located in the subzone, has attracted about 300 companies, including world-renowned brands. "I've learned that Xinjiang's economy develops very fast. I'm fully confident for the future," she said.该集团位于片区内的华凌国际贸易市场已吸引了约300家公司入驻，包括世界知名品牌。她说：“我了解到新疆的经济发展非常迅速。我对未来充满信心。”Kashgar's foreign trade surged 71.2 percent to reach 83.6 billion yuan last year, contributing 23.4 percent to regional foreign trade, data from Kashgar Customs showed.据喀什海关数据显示，去年喀什对外贸易额激增71.2%，达到836亿元人民币，占地区对外贸易的23.4%。One-Stopn.一站式Surgev. 飙升Hubn.枢纽

There are two types of chaos. You have a manageable chaos that can be planned easily. And then you have organized chaos that requires you to shift gears all the time as the planning variables change. If there is one function that can challenge any planning model, it would be logistics. There are so many variables, such as labor, traffic, third-party carriers, geopolitical conditions, and macroeconomic factors. As a logistics executive, you not only need to make sure that you have timely delivery, but you also need to do it in a cost-effective manner.In today's episode, our guest, John Hantzis, discusses why connecting the dots among strategy, operations, and execution is critical for the Supply Chain function. He also discusses why communication and collaboration are key, even among the same supply chain function covering different regions, to find operational synergies. Finally, he discussed why ops is all about shifting the gears on the fly and describes concepts such as cross-docking, FTZ, reclassification of tariff codes, moving supply chain due to geopolitical issues and a lot more.For more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs.rocks or elevatiq.com.

In this episode, Jared and Annalise discuss photographing pelagic seabirds at a nesting colony along the Caribbean Coast of Panama. While many different species utilize the island, the red-billed tropicbirds and brown boobies stole the show. The word “pelagic,” means open ocean. These are species of birds that spend their entire lives on the wing out over the ocean, returning to land only once a year to breed. Of all the many species of birds around the world, pelagic seabirds are both the least understood and also the most threatened group of birds on the planet. Key Takeaways in this Episode When it comes to photographing birds in flight, backgrounds are everything Contrasting colors are one of the most important considerations when it comes to choosing how and where to photograph a species. Experiments are beginning to suggest that turning off eye detect autofocus increases success rates with birds in flight Understanding how to use close-focus priority autofocus area modes will dramatically improve your bird in flight photography. Equipment Considerations Bird in flight photography is always easiest when hand holding a lens. But when it comes to photographing from a boat, this is a must. Finding a balance between weight and focal length is important. On this particular trip, Jared used a Nikon 500mm PF f/5.6 lens with the FTZ adaptor on a Nikon Z9. While this is a fantastic little lens, Jared said he will never do it again. The weather sealing of this lens was just not up to par with what was demanded of the equipment this year in Panama. And by the time they were in boats photographing pelagic seabirds, the 500mm PF lens had condensation INSIDE of the lens itself. This dramatically impacted the lenses ability to find and accurately lock focus. Instead, Jared had to switch to his Nikon 120-300mm f/2.8 lens instead. This lens, while perfect for photographing monkeys and sloths and various mammals in Panama, was not brought with the intention to be used to photograph birds on the open ocean. Next time, Jared will bring the Nikon 400mm f/2.8 w/ built in 1.4 teleconverter instead for this situation. Annalise used the Sony A1 with the Sony 400mm f/2.8 and had no trouble with weather proofing. While a heavier lens then most would opt for using to photograph birds in flight, the superior glass, weather sealing, and autofocusing capabilities of this lens proved to make the additional weight well worth the effort.
Highlights from the March 2023 Global Update from the Global Technical and Regulatory Affairs team at the Almond Board of California. ABC participation in the Gulfood Show ABC exhibited in the USA Pavilion at the Gulfood show in Dubai during the week of Feb 20. The USA Pavilion included 158 U.S. companies and associations including nine almond exporters. The show hosted over 5,000 exhibitors from 125 countries and was attended by over 2 million commercial visitors. Many of them expressed interest in almonds! It seems almond demand in the Middle East and across Africa is higher than ever. We had visitors from the beginning to end of the show waiting in line to ask us questions about the industry, particularly related to finding suppliers and technical information. The entire region continues to grow, with California almond shipments to UAE increasing from $193 m in CY2020 to $310 m in CY2022. The FAS offices in Pakistan and Turkey sent delegations by our booth to discuss the market, market access issues and future cooperation opportunities. Other visitors included buyers and processors from Russia, Ukraine, Algeria, Cyprus, India, Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco, etc. A logistics company from Dubai's Al Ras wholesale market shared a google map link that shows how product moves from Dubai to Afghanistan and other ports in the area. Check it out here. FAS/Dubai also led a tour of the DMCC Tea and Coffee Processing Center at the local Port's FTZ. DMCC is partially owned by the UAE government and has years of experience in trading/processing gold and diamonds. DMCC plans to expand its operations to provide services to other sectors, including tree nuts, in the future.ABC – India Trade Conference During the week of February 14, the annual ABC trade conference was held in India. More than 240 importers and processors attended the meeting this year. Starting with a regulatory update, discussions focused on the greatest impediments to the market which were identified through a survey of Indian trade. Retaliatory tariffs and FSSAI regulation were among the key concerns. The need to form alliances and engage through Indian partners was highlighted as an important means of addressing concerns. Considerable interest was expressed in the crop status, particularly insights from a California handler panel. While everyone is waiting to see how the California crop progresses, there was considerable optimism related to the long-term growth potential of the India market. This carried into the presentation of ABC marketing initiatives in India. Building on a strong tradition and culture, programs are expanding to encompass more health influencers. Other opportunities exist in ingredients, which are a growing sector for almonds, as well as expanding into rural India.Great Britain PEC CertificateGreat Britain (GB) is in the process of reviewing/revising regulations that it retained from the European Union (EU) post-Brexit. This includes EU regulation 2015/1949, which governs the Pre-Export Check (PEC) program that recognizes California Almonds for a reduced inspection rate upon arrival in the EU. ABC has been made aware of a GB-specific version of the Pre-Export Check certificate to accompany California almond exports to Great Britain. ABC contacted both UK Port Authority and FAS staff to ensure no shipments are detained pending an agreement between GB and USA. USDA has advised that UK authorities have agreed to accept the current PEC certificate while the situation is being reviewed. Optimally, UK import control authorities will agree to use the existing PEC system with slight modifications to satisfy GB requirements. We will update the industry once a final decision is agreed upon. If any handlers have their shipments impacted, please reach...

The half hour episode explores how organisations in different countries from across the Clean Clothes Campaign network supported workers in the time of COVID. In this episode, we hear how: Community mobilisation defended a garment worker in Romania; Trade unions and worker organisations made gains in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka; The effects of the pandemic in Turkey has led to a re-think on future campaigns to support worker rights; Plus thoughts and reflections on the impact of COVID on worker organising.Please share your feedback, comments and questions, by emailing: podcast@cleanclothes.orgSpeakers:Laura Stefanut, campaigner and former investigative journalist, RomaniaAnton Marcus, Joint Secretary of FTZ&GSEU (Free Trade Zone and General Services Employees Union), Sri LankaKalpona Akter, Executive Director of BCWS (Bangladesh Center for Workers Solidarity)Bego Demir, Clean Clothes Campaign, TurkeyChristie Miedema, Clean Clothes Campaign International Office, NetherlandsMandy Felicia, EILER (Ecumenical Institute for Labor Education and Research), PhilippinesHost: Febriana Firdaus (febrianafirdaus.com)Sound Engineering Support: Steve Adam (www.spectrosonics.com.au)Producer: Matthew AbudClean Clothes Podcast Team: Anne Dekker, Johnson Ching-Yin Yeung, Liz Parker, Tanne de GoeiFull Transcript HOSTWelcome to the first episode of the first series of the Clean Clothes podcast. I'm Febriana Firdaus. As this episode is being produced, we've all heard terrible news out of Myanmar, with the military overthrow of the elected parliament. From all of us on the podcast, and certainly everyone in Clean Clothes, we want to express our solidarity and support to everyone from our network in Myanmar. And to all the people of that country who stand for democracy, and for human rights and the rights of workers. We're also sending our solidarity to my co-host, Manny Maung – she's completely caught up now, in the response to the military coup. We'll have more to say from Clean Clothes, at the end of the show. We know that under COVID, brands have cancelled orders and refused to pay for completed work. Many suppliers have cut wages and fired workers, who have far too often also been excluded from social safety nets and other support. In Romania one worker, Angelica Manole, protested against her wage cut. Laura Stefanut is a former investigative journalist there, who got involved in the campaign. She tells the story. LAURAAngelica is a brave worker who spoke about the fact that she was only paid about one hundred and forty Euros for one month's work. Each day she worked at least eight hours a day and she was paid like about half the minimum legal wage in Romania. So she spoke about this on Facebook. I believe she was the first garment worker that was so outspoken and so open to speaking to journalists and to Facebook friends. That's how we found out. The company Tanex where Angelica was working, they're among the biggest garment factories in Romania. Certainly they're a famous factory. They were actually in the past they were trying to attract workers by saying that they pay more than other factories because as you probably know, in Romania workers are only paid the minimum wage, they work extra hours many times unpaid, the living wage is way above the legal minimum wage here so we're talking about people who work but stay poor. At the factory what they did when the inspection went there, they said that she didn't work actually. So basically they lied, they said that she didn't come to work. But then you know it was a public scandal, I mean I helped her write some complaints to the Ministry of Labour, to the worker inspection, I also myself wrote complaints. I also contacted the Labour Ministry in Romania directly by phone and I was promised that things would be resolved and somehow they were, I mean there was another inspection which found the first inspection was wrong, and actually the factory did not register any absence of the worker, she was obviously there. So they fined the factory. Angelica was fired by Tanex. So even having all the national media's attention on you, even having strong figures who are taking your side like the Minister itself, she was still fired by the factory. Why, the factory wrote that she was fired because she spoke to the media. I decided to generate a fundraising for Angelica, so we can cover the costs for her during the trial which lasted at least six months and have her paid the minimum salary, what she had at the factory. And it was amazing, in less than two days all the money were raised and there was huge support for Angelica from the public, you know, they were like cheering her, and actually so much money was raised that we were able to help three persons who were laid off from the factory. I think that this was utterly important, because the factories try to show that if you don't do exactly what the factory wants you to do, then you are, it's game over for you. And it usually is you know, so it's so important to show that the community can support you in such cases. It's utterly important. Then I proposed this Urgent Appeal to the Clean Clothes Campaign on Angelica's case because I thought it made all the sense. She was very involved, she was very active, we knew the brands, we had a lot of data on the factory. They contacted the brands that were headquartered in those specific countries. At first it didn't seem to go well because the brands were reluctant, they were saying we were not right, the factories were saying everything is ok, look. So the CCC actually provided proof of these fines, and proof that the factory was actually lying to the brands. And they finally you know, they were convinced. All the workers were paid. This was indeed a victory, even those who were fired, they were finally given the money, all the money they were owed. But this was just a case where everybody got involved you know. There are over one hundred and twenty thousand workers in this industry, like legally registered. So in order to make things work like for a bigger length of time, you have to have the people inside who know their rights, who are organised in one way or another. There was a trade union, Unicomf, which was pretty active meaning that they heard about the case, they went there, they tried to get inside the factory, they were not allowed. So then they pushed together with the help of the brands and they were allowed inside the factory, they could talk to workers. But after this point they couldn't form a trade union. So they said Ok, guys we did what we could, we went there, we presented the case. If the workers didn't get subscribed then we cannot waste much resources because we don't have so much resources. Which I can understand, but at the same time we know that community organising or forming a trade union somewhere, it takes a lot of time and patience and some resources. They were helpful, but unfortunately a trade union was not formed there. Things would not have been solved for the workers there, they would not have received their salaries, if there was not an international involvement and push. If you are not bullet proof when you go to war then they destroy you because the way they're lying, it's so you know natural I was shocked. I was shocked to see it, yeah. It's good to have the proof there, and to have as many witnesses as you can and as many documents as you can so when you go you just punch them and it's knockout. HOSTThat's Laura Stefanut from Romania. Angelica Manole was offered her old job back before the court case – but refused it. She's since found another job in her community. COVID has hit garment workers hard in factories across the world. But the impacts and the responses are far from uniform. A critical factor is the political space that trade unions can claim, along with other worker support organisations. Our producer Matthew Abud, takes a look at the experiences of two South Asia countries, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. REPORTERIn Sri Lanka, a sudden lockdown in March left tens of thousands of garment workers stranded in Free Trade Zones, far from home villages and community networks of support. The Free Trade Zone and General Services Employees Union, organised food rations, and also petitioned the government to help workers get back home. In April the lockdown eased. Anton Marcus, is the union's Joint Secretary. ANTONAnd then the government gradually reopened the factories. At that time we proposed the government to set up a tripartite task force to deal with the labour matters, because we told the government this is the time we have to come together. Because even the employers, or the government, or the trade unions cannot face these challenges alone. REPORTER The government had to move on the Task Force for several reasons. ANTONBecause it very seriously impact on the export sector, and so our union is the majority union who represents the export sector employees. The other was at that time the government was preparing an election, general election. So politically they were very nervous, that if there is any campaign or any protest, it will impact on their election result. So that is why the government had to appoint this task force. REPORTERSocial distancing requirements meant factories couldn't re-start with a full workforce. ANTON Then the employers took up the position that they're not in the position to pay the wages for the workers who are not reporting for work. At the beginning they said there are about five hundred thousand employees in the apparel sector, they want to dismiss three hundred thousand. So we said no way, because workers has to manage with their own. After we got the assurance that no-one will be dismissed, and then we said ok, we are agreed to introduce rotational system. REPORTERAs well as defending jobs, through the Tripartite Task Force, Anton Marcus's union also negotiated financial support. The eventual agreement meant that workers would not receive less than seventy five percent of their previous wage, even if they were not working. In Bangladesh meanwhile, a recent report says over three hundred and fifty thousand garment workers lost their jobs.[1] As in Sri Lanka and other countries, unions mobilised to get food to workers. Kalpona Akter is Executive Director of the labour rights advocacy organisation, Bangladesh Center for Workers Solidarity. She says order cancellations by brands, and factory closures, brought fear and repression. KALPONABut you know the workers' situation was more dire when factory management is started hand-picking them and firing. Like, pregnant workers was targeted, like they were like hand-picking these leaders and firing them. Many cases, I mean most of cases they didn't get the severances even. And one case I should mention that, the retaliation went that end that the factory kidnapped one of the union office-bearers middle of the night, and we had to jump on and we had to start fighting and keep calling all the polices and every security agency we can, to make sure that the guy not take away and he's not shipping to anywhere. And you know, we had been succeeded because we respond very rapidly on that but the factory keep doing retaliation to these workers as well. And lately our federation also facing that. But you know in general, this is what kind of freedom of association violations that our workers was facing. They were going in both ways, some of them was really afraid, that they don't want to raise voice because they will be lose their jobs which they cannot afford. And some of them really really says no, we have to fight back. REPORTERYet along with the hardship, unions in both Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have been able to build on their many responses, to boost membership. For Anton's union, this started by making sure workers were aware of how their rights had been defended. This defense included stopping employer efforts to cut overtime payments, and to reduce labour law protections. ANTONBecause of our intervention in the Tripartite Task Force, we got these kind of protective measures. And then we published, because worker don't know, workers don't know about these things. And the employers also hiding. So we published in the newspaper the basic thing of the Task Force decisions, and then we distributed the leaflets to raise the awareness among the workers about their rights under the pandemic, and as a result of our intervention some of the factory workers contacted us and they organised unions now. We got more than two thousand new members. So we supported them, and as a result they become members of our union. REPORTERKalpona says while union membership initially dropped, unrelenting effort turned that around in mid-2020. This includes her own organisation, which as a grassroots operation, has tens of thousands of solidarity members. KALPONALike last, first few weeks, few months, we have been seen that it is decreasing enormously because then were so much fear just, they were focusing just to save their jobs, so they have money and they can feed themselves, at least they can live, you know, alive. I think we have been done our organising good in June July, during those two three months. And then from end of August it has been turning around and workers started coming to our centre in person. And we had to open the centre for them as well. So we took our life risk because they're taking risk as well. So it is been turn back and now I think that workers are more strong enough to do organising though they knows that there might be so many consequences. They knows that they need to fight.. REPORTERKalpona thinks the emphasis of some labour organising may need to shift. KALPONAThe COVID is not going like overnight or over year, it's a long run thing that we have in our planet now. So you know, if it is goes long then it will be consequences with the business, and if it is consequences with business that will be directly affect to the workers. So that in one way we feel we have more responsibility to work with government, manufacturers and brands, to make sure that our workers has unemployment insurance, has social security. So those are the areas will be focusing or working on more these days. REPORTERAnton also sees several future challenges. ANTONEmployers are very much getting, come together with the government. And we know that gradually the Army presence is getting increase in Sri Lanka, all the things are now undertaken by Army. So we see that there is a challenge. And maybe there will be a kind of a repression on us, so we have to be ready to face these challenges. This is the good opportunity for workers to understand how important is the global solidarity, because this is the global challenge. We cannot find solution nationally. So therefore, we use this opportunity to educate the workers how important the global solidarity. And we want to see that the global unions and the other campaign organisations who are supporting for the employees, has to come together. HOSTAnton Marcus ending that report from Matthew Abud. In Turkey the challenges to organising and supporting workers impacted by COVID has a different context. After the attempted coup d'etat in 2016, the government cracked down on civil society, arresting thousands and shutting down many non-government organisations. The coup's impact on trade unions and other worker support organisations remains profound. Bego Demir is with Clean Clothes Campaign in Turkey. BEGOThe formulation of union also is changed. Like some union is also very close to government, like they organise factories when you check their numbers it's rising, but the worker, the union who actually support the workers right, which is like they work independently when you check their number it's going down. Like, clearly you understand from that picture like there is pressure like and effort from the government behind it. HOSTThe structure of Turkey's garment sector also has a big role. BEGOThe supply chain is big and it's differently formulated than other countries. You can see a lot of Tier 3, Tier 4 factories with just a few workers. Those small factories are unregistered, the workers work are unregistered, so unregistered workers, they don't have any rights. HOST Bego says this means that, during the short lockdown in March, workers relied on family and community networks to survive – unions only had a minor role. Unlike elsewhere, brands didn't cancel orders, likely because Turkey is so close to European consumer markets. Factory workers were also exempted from later lockdown. But they travelled and worked in crowded conditions where social distancing was impossible. That meant a change of campaign tactics was needed. BEGOAt the first when Clean Clothes Campaign start their campaign, Pay Up Campaign, pay your workers campaign, so we joined that campaign but we saw the campaign is not covering all textile needs. So we start a campaign here as COVID to be recognised an occupational disease. Because legally when a worker has an occupational disease, doesn't matter when it's registered or unregistered, government have to give their rights. Because like, one hundred twenty one countries accepted like recognised COVID like occupational disease for health sector. So we so not just for health sector, for all workers. We get support for the campaign from all doctors, from like health sector as well, so we hope they will accept it, but it is a big challenge because it will be new. Let's see the result. HOSTWithout this measure, unregistered workers can't get official support if they become sick with COVID. Unregistered workers also can't legally join unions. Over the longer term, protecting any of their rights – including health, or wages, or freedom of association – means this has to change. BEGOWe reorganised our future structure. We were mostly focused on the living wage, on the workers' rights, but one of our main campaigns in future will be a way to register workers. Now we also spoke with some other partner in Turkey, some other NGOs, and they all realised that's a big problem. So in the future, somehow we need to push the government to make it work. I think like the reason government is not very strong to make all worker being registered, they want to attract people, attract brand especially, so they want to be in a competition with China. We want to change that, we want to convince them that cannot be a benefit for country. HOST That's Bego Demir, from Clean Clothes in Turkey. We've looked at several different examples of building trade unions and worker organisations, and defending rights in the time of COVID. We asked Christie Miedema CHRISTIEI'm Christie Miedema. I work at the International Office of the Clean Clothes Campaign HOSTAnd Mandy Felicia MANDYI am Mandy Felicia from ILIR, Philippines HOSTFor their thoughts on how worker COVID's impacted worker organising MANDYDuring this COVID what stands out is really the collective effort of all the workers to try to sustain workers' organisations. We only do organising in communities and boarding houses of the workers. But during the pandemic it also prevented us from doing that, no? So what stands out really is the creative form how the workers tried to get in touch with each other. Using the new technology, and also the old technology of passing letters, no, to each other to give news to eqach other and to keep the organisations alive, by maintaining contact. CHRISTIEWhat stands out to me is that COVID 19 has really created a threat of rolling back gains that were made in the past, rolling back workers rights, rolling back also maybe in the field of practices of brands becoming a bit more aware of how their choices influence their supply chains. We see them turning their backs on their supply chains, despite all those years of convincing brands that they're responsible for the supply chain. MANDYThe pandemic also exposes the rottenness of the system, the capitalist system, how profit is given more importance than the lives of the people. Sad to say the system also took advantage of the crisis to exploit more, and take away the gains of the movement. The pandemic has taught us to rely more on ourselves and pinpoint the real importance of organisation, and the need to belong to one. There has been a lot of consciousness not only on the level of solidarity among the workers but also of international solidarity. Workers now see and understand more the global supply chain. They now look at how pandemic affected the workflow, the orders, you know the movement of the products have become very very conscious of that. CHRISTIEI think a lot of the challenges that we'll continue to see are the ones that we did already. It's the fact that wages are not being paid, that workers are being dismissed without receiving their full severance pay, and the continued rollback of rights. MANDYWe don't only have a problem with the pandemic. But also government using pandemic as an excuse to further repress and stop the people from being organised to challenge government policies. Last year on December 10 many unionists were arrested simultaneously, and a lot of unionists and labour rights defenders are now being accused of being rebels and are being put into jail using trumped-up charges. So we view with concern what is happening in Myanmar because we might have the same situation here, you know. CHRISTIEAnd I think also the good thing is we have already learned from this, it took us all by surprise in March, in April, but we have learned to stay together and to face these challenges. So I think while the challenges might be similar, or while there might be new things coming towards us, we are stronger now, we have made up our minds and we know that we can stand together. MANDYThere is a need to continuously assess, no. Not only our situation but also our methods of organising and education, which is of paramount importance. But probably form is only secondary to the need of always working and being with the workers in their communities and workplaces if possible. We hope to find ways to better, for better security and health measures because I think the pandemic should not stop us from going to the workers. And that is the only thing that is constant for us, the need to organise ourselves, to assert our rights and together shape a better normal post-pandemic. HOSTThat's Mandy Felicia.

Federal Programs that Preempt Taxes. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Tom Yamachika. In this country, a foreign trade zone (FTZ) is a geographical area, in (or adjacent to) a United States Port of Entry, where commercial merchandise, both domestic and foreign, receives the same Customs treatment as if it were outside the United States. The zones help American businesses to be competitive in the global economy by reducing tariff burdens on the importation of foreign inputs and on exported finished products. For a while, the Department of Taxation was telling folks that a FTZ was a “federal enclave,” where the laws of the states just don't apply. They have since figured out that they made a mistake, and they are seeking compensation (back taxes) from everyone involved.

Freeport development is an integral part of the UK's post-Brexit trade strategy. Although free-trade zones (FTZs) are frequently hailed as a harbinger of economic development and increased ease of doing business, their financial crime and illicit trade risks are often poorly understood. The CFCS's Emil Dall speaks to colleagues Anton Moiseienko, Isabella Chase and Alexandria Reid about their research project on FTZs, and how governments and the private sector can assess their crime risks.
Sam Sheen and Marie Lundberg are joined by Aamir Hanif, a globe-trotting financial crime compliance expert, to talk about all things related to free ports and free trade zones. Having been identified as having an elevated risk for financial crime, Aamir explains how Free Trade Zone companies are operated, who controls them, accessing KYC information about their UBOs, while Marie raises a good point: Maybe when it comes to free ports, what do we need to do to "know your container". With reported risks of FTZ and the link connected to the volume of conterfeit goods traded in a country. With the UK soon introducing its own free ports post-Brexit, this is a must listen for fellow financial crime compliance professionals.

There are numerous advantages to foreign trade zones, including duty deferral and avoidance opportunities, as FTZs are considered outside CBP territory. However, there are many misconceptions as to how much leeway CBP grants to merchandise admitted into an FTZ.
The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Niyi Adebayo on Monday said the federal government had suspended further issuance of licences for the operation of the Free Trade Zones (FTZ).Adebayo explained that all applications for FTZ licences will henceforth not be processed pending the completion of the panel’s assignment.He added that the model was adopted by the Asian Tigers and today most countries, including African countries are beginning to key into the idea.He said the country currently has 33 licensed FTZ operators, and that due to poor implementation, only 12 are operational.

Foreign Trade Zones (or, FTZ's as they are affectionately known) are a huge buzzword in econ dev. Whether it's the site selection process, incentives, manufacturing or imports/exports, there's a lot to unpack on the subject. So, we sat down with Foreign-Trade Zone Corporation Founder & Vice President Greg Jones to get into the nitty-gritty (but not too nitty-gritty, the just-right level of nitty-gritty). What even are FTZ's? How can they benefit your company, or a company looking to invest in your region? What are the limitations of the program? How does one even apply? We'll give you the skinny in under 23 minutes. Tune in!
In This Episode... What is so useful about free trade zones in China? Why should importers with Chinese suppliers consider utilizing them? Sofeast has recently opened an RMA and fulfillment facility in Shenzhen's Pingshan Free Trade Zone, so, based on our experience there, we're going to explain the benefits. Hopefully, after listening to this episode, so you will understand if using warehousing, RMA, and fulfillment in the FTZ is better for your business in terms of costs, time, and effort than in China-proper. Show Notes Start to 6:27 Introduction into what Free Trade Zones are. 6:27 to 9:01 - FTZ RMA facility is better than local ones (such as in the USA) due to far lower costs and proximity to your suppliers. 9:01 to 10:42 What does the inspection, sorting, and repair/rework process that the FTZ is perfect for look like? 10:42 to 11:52 Rather than using a local rework company, sending defective pieces back to the FTZ means your supplier can take responsibility and send their own staff to do the repair/rework. How does this work? 11:52 to 12:08 There was a lack of repair services in China, until now..! 12:08 to 15:01 Suppliers deliver finished products/components to the FTZ and they have 'exported' - can apply for VAT rebate and request payment by customer - they like this and it can help you to have a better relationship with the supplier. Our FTZ facility can store your goods (it's cheaper than locally or even other places in China) and fulfill them as per your needs, so you rely less on the supplier to get things right or safely store your products (the supplier's warehouse may be damp, may not be insured against fire, etc). It's suitable for batches of products of a certain size, but not dropshipping piece by piece (we handle this from our Dongguan contract manufacturing facility) 15:01 to 17:00 If importers have the need to bring together orders components/products and ship them out from China in batches, using a FTZ fulfillment center can improve relationships and results from suppliers. 17:00 to 19:49 If you use a 3rd party (such as our company) to act on your behalf from the FTZ to deal with your supplier Chinese-company to Chinese-company - this allows easier payments, invoicing, and builds more trust with the supplier who knows that they can take legal action against us if we, say, do not pay them (much harder for them to do against foreign companies), therefore they are more likely to offer preferential credit terms and other benefits to you. Therefore using a dedicated 3rd party China buying office in conjunction with the FTZ location is helpful. 19:49 to 21:15 An FTZ location allows you to receive components and goods from different suppliers without letting them know important information such as your IP, product type, other suppliers, costs, your retailers, etc. Overall, this helps protect you against suppliers using your designs or undercutting you in your market by selling cheaper. 21:15 to 22:15 If some parts come in from suppliers in a foreign country, let's say somewhere like Vietnam, to be assembled with other from China, is it worth paying fees to import them to China and spending the time to go through Chinese customs? By utilising a Free Trade Zone facility, this cost can be avoided. 22:15 to 23:29 Customs clearance - are there tangible reductions to delivery times due to the FTZ's reduced bureaucracy in regards to customs clearance? 23:29 to 26:24 Do the Chinese FTZs eat into Hong Kong's status as a free port where there are also lower import/export duties and processes? Hong Kong still has benefits, but labor costs there are high. 26:24 to END Summarising the benefits of the FTZ - where is the Pingshan FTZ in Shenzhen located? Take a look at this map for a rough idea (you can see how close it is to Yantian port). Extra information you may find helpful If you do end up with defective products, RMA in the FTZ is a good last resort that gives you options to recover some or all of the order, however, it's always better to work with suppliers who won't cause you problems - we've already created a podcast mini-series on vetting good Chinese suppliers to help you get into that position.

Erick Stewart, President of Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) services and quality inspection company STEWART Industries LLC, joins William to talk about the business benefits of using FTZ's, examples of success, and how they can be a part of your supply chain risk management strategy in the current volatile trade agreement climate.
Jeffrey Mosher speaks with Erick Stewart, President, Stewart Industries, Battle Creek, Michigan. Finding out about his and the company's path to a new project that has launched this fall. Recent trade and tariff disputes, are set to impact Michigan manufacturers and businesses as a result companies are looking for cost-saving options. This FTZ offers an alternative to help local businesses thrive in the impending economic downturn. STEWART Industries Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) could save business threatened by tariff wars up to 80% in reduced tariffs. Located in Michigan, and with 20 years of manufacturing experience, STEWART understands those in the community who have been affected by the economy's changes. STEWART Industries FTZ is unique as it allows those who use their services to save even more money. As sub-assemblers, STEWART employees inspect the parts and pieces within the FTZ for defects. Those items which don’t pass inspection will be destroyed, meaning the customer won’t be subject to its customs or duty charges. A Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) is an area that is considered to be outside of the commerce of the United States for customs purposes only. These are areas where imported goods can be stored, distributed, processed, and used without being subject to customs duty. FTZs provide customs-related advantages. Specifically, Foreign Trade Zones help U.S. companies compete in the global marketplace by eliminating, deferring, or reducing duties and potentially reducing other costs.

We had planned a different podcast for this week, but when news broke that Nikon and Canon had announced new full-frame mirrorless camera systems, we reserved studio time and recorded an episode to provide just the basics on what we know about these new sets of cameras and lenses. Rumors on when (or if) these two companies were going to bring full-frame mirrorless cameras to market have been on-going for years, and the day has finally arrived. While we don’t have much more information on these cameras than the general public has, we were able to have some hands-on experience with pre-production models for just a few minutes and that, combined with a thorough look at the specs, will enable us to offer a conversation that we hope our listeners will appreciate. The Canon EOS R Mirrorless camera was announced with four RF lenses and three unique adapters for EF lenses—and there is a lot to unwrap when talking about this new system. We ramble through a loose conversation on the camera system, but I encourage you to check out the specs on the B&H Photo website and also read our team’s announcement article which discusses the camera, lenses and adapters. The Nikon Z System Mirrorless cameras were announced a few days before the Canon system, and came out of the gate with two distinct full-frame mirrorless bodies, the Z6 and the Z7. Nikon has also announced three dedicated lenses for the system, and the FTZ electronic adapter for F-mount lenses. While our guest, Levi Tenenbaum, has had a chance to play with the Z7 and joins us to offer his thoughts, again, I encourage you to check the B&H website for full specs and features and read our announcement, which not only discusses the camera, lenses, and adapter, but also the many kits available for this new system. Finally—and after weeks of anticipation—at the end our episode, we will announce the winners of our B&H Photography Podcast Fujifilm X-H1 Sweepstakes. Stick with us until the end to find out if you are one of the two lucky winners, and thank you to all our listeners who entered the sweepstakes, left reviews, and commented on our show. We are very grateful. Guest: Levi Tenenbaum
