These excerpts taken from the HBI 10-K filed Feb 19, 2008.
International trade regulations may increase our costs or limit the amount of products that we can import from suppliers in a particular country, which could have an adverse effect on our business.
 
Because a significant amount of our manufacturing and production operations are in or our products are sourced from, overseas locations, we are subject to international trade regulations. The international trade regulations to which we are subject or may become subject include tariffs, safeguards or quotas. These regulations could limit the countries from which we produce or source our products or significantly increase the cost of operating in or obtaining materials originating from certain countries. Restrictions imposed by international trade regulations can have a particular impact on our business when, after we have moved our operations to a particular location, new unfavorable regulations are enacted in that area or favorable regulations currently in effect are changed. The countries in which our products are manufactured or into which they are imported may from time to time impose additional new regulations, or modify existing regulations, including:
 
  •  additional duties, taxes, tariffs and other charges on imports, including retaliatory duties or other trade sanctions, which may or may not be based on WTO rules, and which would increase the cost of products purchased from suppliers in such countries;
 
  •  quantitative limits that may limit the quantity of goods which may be imported into the United States from a particular country, including the imposition of further “safeguard” mechanisms by the U.S. government or governments in other jurisdictions, limiting our ability to import goods from particular countries, such as China;
 
  •  changes in the classification of products that could result in higher duty rates than we have historically paid;
 
  •  modification of the trading status of certain countries;
 
  •  requirements as to where products are manufactured;
 
  •  creation of export licensing requirements, imposition of restrictions on export quantities or specification of minimum export pricing; or
 
  •  creation of other restrictions on imports.
 
Adverse international trade regulations, including those listed above, would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
