TPP Deal a Blow to China’s Flagging Textiles Trade, Investment Firm Says

China may lose its entire Vietnamese apparel market in addition to being effectively cut off from U.S. trade because of yarn rules within the Trans-Pacific Partnership that was recently agreed between member nations.

One of the elements of the TPP’s textiles and apparel section is the “yarn forward” rule, which will have specific impacts on countries such as China, Vietnam and Malaysia. Under this provision, only yarn made by TPP members can be sold to the TPP markets, such as the U.S. and Japan, according to Chris Devonshire-Ellis of foreign investment firm Dezan Shira and Associates.

The complete text of the TPP has just been made available by the U.S. Trade Representative and the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Although the deal still has to be approved by the U.S. Congress, it intends to effectively eliminate tariffs on specific goods traded between TPP member nations Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the U.S.and Vietnam.
