（布城25日讯）获得大马橡胶局认证的橡胶手套出口公司，只允许出口本地工厂生产的橡胶手套，即日起生效 ?

种植及原产业部今日发文告表示，此举是为了确保产品质量和国家橡胶手套行业的永续性，以及避免大马成为他国贸易转移目的地的风险。

“这也是随着国际贸易格局存在不确定性后的全球发展，包括主要世界市场政策的变化，直接影响了橡胶产品的供应链和出口市场。”

该部说，这种情况有可能导致橡胶手套进口量增加，从而影响国内橡胶行业的竞争力。

The U.S. government is supporting the local manufacture of gloves through initiatives like the "Make PPE in America Act" and by raising tariffs on Chinese-made gloves. This aims to reduce reliance on foreign manufacturing, particularly during crises, and to support domestic production and jobs.
Here's a more detailed look:
"Make PPE in America Act":
This act aims to incentivize and support the production of personal protective equipment, including gloves, within the U.S.
Tariff Increases:
The U.S. government has announced increases in tariffs on medical-grade nitrile gloves imported from China, with rates set to rise significantly in the coming years. This makes it more expensive to import Chinese gloves, potentially encouraging domestic manufacturers to increase production.
Funding and Support:
The U.S. government has provided funding and support for companies to set up manufacturing facilities in the U.S.
Waiving Requirements:
In some cases, the U.S. government has waived certain requirements, like those related to the "Make PPE in America Act," due to the lack of available domestic suppliers, Made in America.gov.
Focus on Domestic Production:
The U.S. government is prioritizing the use of domestically manufactured gloves for agencies like the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), aiming to cover 100% of their needs with domestic products.
Previous Concerns:
The U.S. government has also addressed concerns about forced labor in glove production, leading to bans on imports from certain companies.
Potential for Reshoring:
The U.S. government's actions, including tariff increases and support for domestic manufacturing, are seen as a way to encourage the reshoring of glove production to the U.S.
