The RV Industry Association (RVIA) will host a policy webinar on the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) this Thursday.
The RV industry relies on the GSP, the longest running U.S. trade preference program, to import key product inputs duty-free. Since the program lapsed at the end of 2020, the RV industry has paid an estimated $1.5 million in duties each month. The most important of these lapsed duty-free goods is Indonesian lauan, a type of thin, strong and moisture-resistant plywood. Lauan is not domestically grown and no domestic substitute exists.
Join the webinar on Thursday, May 4, led by Senior Manager of Government Affairs Samantha Rocci, to go through the GSP program and why retroactive reauthorization is critical to the industry as a whole.
