US-Uruguay Trade Agreement Boosts Footwear Exports
A recent bilateral trade agreement between the United States and Uruguay has reduced tariffs on specific footwear categories, including men's footwear with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics (HS Code: 6402.99.31), valued over $27/pair. Uruguay has seen a 15% increase in exports of such footwear to the US market in the last quarter.
