SEPTEMBER 2021

NHLA recently received word from the American Hardwood Export Council that the Chinese tariff exemptions that were set to expire on September 17, 2021 have been extended through April 16, 2022. The initial confirmation of the extensions was confirmed through the USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service office in Beijing and they are currently working on an official translated version of the statement.

 

"We will continue to update you with any further developments," NHLA writes, "but for now it appears that Chinese tariffs will not come back into play for the US hardwood industry until after April 16, 2022."

PECO Pallet Recognized by CITT

PECO Pallet has announced that it has been recognized by the Canadian Institute of Traffic and Transportation (CITT) as one of the organization’s first Endorsed Logistics Employers, in a new initiative acknowledging leading employers in the Canadian transportation and logistics industry.

Founded in 1958, CITT is a respected industry advocacy association providing programs for career-long learning and career-path development open for everyone who buys, sells, or manages the flow of goods and products, or is impacted by supply chain logistics.

“In nearly 25 years of operation, PECO Pallet has demonstrated that its commitment to the logistics profession goes above and beyond simply business,” says Pina Melchionna, President & CEO of CITT. “Through CITT’s interactions with PECO and their people over the years, it’s clear that the organization is dedicated to excellence in the discipline not just within the walls of their own office, but across the sector,” she continued. “We’re thrilled to welcome PECO Pallet as one of the first and very deserving, CITT Endorsed Logistics Employers.”
