Industry Advocacy

In 2019, AMBA hired a lobbying firm in Washington, which orchestrated and helped the Association to implement the strategy resulting in the Trump administration reinstating the 25 percent tariffs on plastic injection molds.

Today, AMBA works alongside founder and Washington, D.C.-insider Omar Nashashibi so that it can continue to build on that success in Washington, D.C., as the tariffs on tooling, molds, and dies imported from China remain due to the efforts of the industry. AMBA works alongside U.S. Government officials to maintain and possibly increase tariffs on imports from China, while working with policymakers to enforce trade laws to strengthen the industry’s global competitiveness.

Additionally, AMBA keeps its members "in-the-know" on all of the day-to-day legislative action that impacts AMBA members, from tariffs and taxes to regulations, job training and resources related to workforce development.
