President restricts the export of PPE products from the US and gives the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) the right to approve or deny the movement of such goods. View this email in your browser Talking Trade: A Presidential Proclamation on PPE Exports from the US Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) accounts for 30% of the products that are moved globally, with 40% of those PPE product exports coming from China, Germany, and the US. These 3 nations contribute to almost half of the world's face mask supply. President Trump's Memorandum issued on April 3 restricts the export of PPE products from the US and gives the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) the right to approve or deny the movement of such goods. During this time period, CBP has the ability and control to detain any PPE exports while FEMA makes the final decision on movement. In turn, this ruling could potentially have a crippling effect on the sourcing of these materials for countries around the world during a time when they are so desperately needed in the fight against COVID-19 and supply chains are already stretched thin. Tune in to the full episode below, as Michael Ford, VP of Government and Industry Affairs, provides a detailed overview of the new process, steps companies can take to comply with the Presidential Order, and certain exemptions that are also in place.
