"This agreement with Korea underscores our long-term commitment to free trade and free markets," said Amway Chairman Steve Van Andel, "and will allow Amway to save millions of dollars in one of our most important markets. Phasing out the tariffs allows us to offer distributors and customers more competitive pricing, and further strengthens our business through increased market share."
Said Amway President Doug DeVos, "Like most companies, we support a more competitive playing field. This new trade agreement allows Amway to continue meeting aggressive growth targets, and gives a much needed boost for all export business in Michigan."
