Statement on the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015

Washington, DC – Internet Association President and CEO Michael Beckerman issued the following statement in support of the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015:

“The Internet allows businesses of all sizes to engage in global trade in ways that could not have been imagined just a few years ago. Internet-enabled businesses would greatly benefit from the agreed upon package, because it improves internet users’ ability to trade across borders by streamlining customs processes and reducing border challenges caused by duties and burdensome paperwork. Ultimately, the final customs bill reduces trade barriers for Internet-enabled businesses, and we urge Members of Congress to support its immediate passage.”
