## Resource

In late September, U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued a shock announcement : that it was issuing a Withold Release Order on Giant Manufacturing -- a move that bans bicycles, bicycle parts, and accessories manufactured in Taiwan. International Trade & Customs Attorney James Ransdell explains the order, the actions Giant can take to get it lifted, and whether this can be linked to Taipei's trade negotiations with Washington. Hosted by ICRT's Hope Ngo. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
