\tThe $*<\/span>*<\/span> billion warning and the apparel question<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The White House*<\/span>*<\/span>;s August *<\/span>*<\/span> report estimates potential China-linked illegal transshipment at $*<\/span>*<\/span>.*<\/span> billion-$*<\/span>*<\/span>.*<\/span> billion annually and uses a rounded $*<\/span>*<\/span> billion midpoint. That is an all-goods modelled estimate, not $*<\/span>*<\/span> billion of verified fraud or apparel trade.<\/p>\n

For textiles and clothing, however, the sourcing shift is difficult to ignore. According to TexPro, US imports of HS *<\/span>*<\/span>–*<\/span>*<\/span> knitted and woven apparel fell from $*<\/span>*<\/span>.*<\/span>*<\/span> billion in *<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span> to $*<\/span>*<\/span>.*<\/span>*<\/span> billion in *<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span>. China*<\/span>*<\/span>;s shipments dropped from $*<\/span>*<\/span>.*<\/span>*<\/span> billion to $*<\/span>*<\/span>.*<\/span>*<\/span> billion, a loss of just over $*<\/span>*<\/span> billion.<\/p>\n

China*<\/span>*<\/span>;s share consequently fell *<\/span>*<\/span>.*<\/span>*<\/span> percentage points, from *<\/span>*<\/span>.*<\/span>*<\/span> per cent to *<\/span>*<\/span>.*<\/span>*<\/span> per cent. Over the same period, Vietnam, India, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Sri Lanka increased their combined share from *<\/span>*<\/span>.*<\/span>*<\/span> per cent to *<\/span>*<\/span>.*<\/span>*<\/span> per cent. The White House places India in Tier *<\/span>; Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand in Tier *<\/span>; and Bangladesh, Cambodia and Sri Lanka in Tier *<\/span>. Their *<\/span>.*<\/span>*<\/span>-point gain was equivalent to *<\/span>*<\/span>.*<\/span> per cent of China*<\/span>*<\/span>;s lost share points.<\/p>\n
