Our company depends on GSP to get the right product to the right client at a good price. Without it we may have to lay off some employees or even close.

Our company imports components for trucks that are sold in the USA as well as re-exported around the world. Not having GSP in place is making US exports less competitive and reduces our ability to recruit people & grow our company.

We manufacture footwear components from sole leather purchased in Argentina. Our customer base is comprised primarily of domestic footwear manufacturers. Our largest customers are based in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Texas, Maine, Washington and of course, here in Pennsylvania.
There is no sole leather made in the USA today, thus it has to be imported. The higher cost due to the expiration of the GSP threatens not only jobs in our factory in Williamsport, but literally coast to coast.
