PRESS RELEASE

For Immediate Release

SIDNEY, Nebraska – Cabela’s, the World’s Foremost Outfitter, announces its support of the Recreational Performance Outerwear Apparel Act (RPOAA) of 2008 introduced by Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., in July. The RPOAA creates new classifications for specific types of high-performance recreational outerwear, making those specific products duty-free.

“Consumers and U.S. manufacturers both win with Representative Blumenauer’s Performance Apparel Act,” said Pat Snyder, Cabela’s Senior Vice President of Merchandising, Marketing and Retail Operations. “This legislation will significantly lower the tariffs on performance outdoor apparel, a savings that will get passed on to consumers, helping them affordably enjoy the outdoors.”

The current tariff system was originally designed to protect the domestic garment industry, which is no longer viable. These outdated tariffs now unnecessarily raise the price of recreational outerwear, which results in increased costs for the consumer. Cabela’s encourages manufacturers and consumers to contact their U.S. Representatives and ask them to help consumers and U.S. businesses by voting yes for RPOAA (H.R. 6483).
