1. General efforts for China market access and export registrations to China. Supports Economic Trade Agreement between the Government of the United States and the Government of the People's Republic of China. 2. APHIS facility inspections and approvals with regard to foreign market access, general market access and export issues, including export certificates for animal products. 3. General efforts to prevent diseases, like African Swine Fever (ASF) from entering the U.S. 4. General tariff issues, including aluminum and tinplate steel tariffs affecting pet food manufacturers. 5. Opposed to imposing new tariffs on tin mill products from allies like Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Taiwan, and Turkey. Concerned that imposition of these new duties would raise the cost of canned foods, including pet food, placing new burdens on food banks and families who rely on government food and nutrition assistance programs. 6. Other tariff and trade disrupting issues affecting pet food manufacturers. Specifically supports suspending, reducing, or eliminating tariffs which currently hinder food and agriculture exports - including the China 301 tariffs which have had a disproportionate economic impact on American companies, consumers and workers. 7. Supports addressing and finding solutions to the ongoing challenges impacting our nation's food and agricultural supply chains, specifically as it relates to the pet food industry. 8. Supports the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative extending the public comment period regarding proposed modifications to the ongoing Section 301 China tariff actions. 9. Supports uninterrupted trade between the U.S., Mexico and Canada to provide access to the goods they need, including pet food. 10. Supports U.S. agricultural export promotion and long-term market development. 11. Supports strengthening multilateral trade rules on agriculture that promotes resilient, adaptive, and innovative agricultural markets. 12. Supportive of H.R.648: Agriculture Export Promotion Act of 2023 and S.176: Expanding Agricultural Exports Act of 2023. If enacted, these bills expand and extend through FY2029 the Market Access Program and Foreign Market Development Cooperator Program of the Department of Agriculture. These programs are critical for our nations farmers as they work to expand global market access for U.S. produced agricultural exports, including pet food. 13. Generally supports S.1421 - Country Of Origin Labeling Online Act; To require origin and location disclosure for new products of foreign origin offered for sale on the internet. Supports transparency for American consumers and a harmonization of disclosure requirements. However, our industry remains concerned about the impact this bill will have on all retailers, marketplaces and sellers who sell their products online. 14. Supports a proactive agriculture negotiating agenda at the World Trade Organization (WTO) that is focused on modernizing global agriculture trade policies. 15. Concerned about the rail service capacity issues in Mexico that are hindering U.S. agricultural trade with this critical partner. An increased demand for rail service coupled with insufficient investment in rail infrastructure has led to embargoes, congestion, and slowed servicing of U.S. agricultural products. 16. Urges the Biden administration to immediately work with both the International Longshoremens Association (ILA) and the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) to help them return to the bargaining table to restart stalled contract negotiations to ensure there is no disruption to U.S. port operations.
