On August 2, U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) joined manufacturers, retailers, law enforcement and workers at MMI Textiles in Brooklyn, Ohio, to push for the Biden Administration to close a massive loophole that foreign countries like China exploit to avoid paying duties and fees they owe, and that fentanyl traffickers exploit to evade customs inspections. Brown has introduced bipartisan legislation to address the problem, and has repeatedly called on the President to take executive action to close the loophole.
