The American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) has urged the US House of Representatives to pass a new anti-counterfeiting bill it says will enable brands to work with US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to stop counterfeit goods entering American households.
拟议立法, H.R. 4930, 旨在增强 CBP 在边境知识产权 (IP) 执法期间与公司共享信息的能力。
The proposed legislation, H.R. 4930, seeks to enhance CBP的 ability to share information with companies during intellectual property (IP) enforcement at borders.
If enacted, the bill would authorise CBP to share details not only about products and packaging, but also any packing materials linked to suspected counterfeit shipments, AAFA said.

AAFA president and CEO Stephen Lamar commented: “Stopping these unsafe counterfeits at the border, preventing them from polluting third party marketplaces, and, ultimately, keeping them out of American homes should be a bipartisan, bicameral priority.
“我们希望如果这项措施在众议院获得通过，参议院将予以采纳，以便能够迅速提交总统签署。”
“We hope the Senate will take up this measure if it passes the House so it can quickly be presented to the President for his signature.”

AAFA brand protection senior director Jennifer Hanks added: “The decision to advance H.R. 4930 marks an important milestone in the bipartisan effort to crack down on counterfeit goods and move this critical legislation closer to passage. We thank Congressman Moore and Congressman Schneider for their House leadership in crafting stronger enforcement tools and enhancing information sharing to better protect Americans from the real dangers posed by counterfeiters.”
In conjunction with World IP Day on 26 April 2026, the AAFA led a communication involving nearly 20 consumer, retail, and manufacturing organisations to US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property John A. Squires.
