Julia Hughes, president at the U.S. Fashion Industry Association, said companies are sourcing from Vietnam because it “makes good business sense” and will continue to do so. She said companies are not placing more business there in anticipation of TPP, but since the country continues to gain market share in the U.S., it “suggests that it is an opportunity for imports from Vietnam to grow even more if we have a good TPP agreement, which means one that is flexible enough to adapt to changing sourcing patterns.”
