Retailers Call 100 Percent Cargo Inspection Unworkable
The National Retail Federation today urged the House to reject amendments calling for 100 percent inspection of U.S.-bound air and ocean cargo, saying the proposals would disrupt commerce and are too unworkable to significantly improve security. NRF said action on the amendments, which could come today, would be counted as key votes in NRF’s annual ranking of lawmakers on issues important to the retail industry.
