I just read a posting on the UKMA web site regarding the possible impact of proposed trade deals (or their possible demise) on metric-only labeling of packages both in the EU and the USA:
http://metricviews.org.uk/2017/01/is-the-proposed-eu-us- trade-agreement-doomed/ Unfortunately, amending the FPLA to allow metric-only labeling seems unlikely for the time being. However, last I heard there was only one entity (state of New York) that had not adopted the 1999 update to the language of the UPLR to allow metric-only labeling. Does anyone know if there is any effort on-going right now to get New York to adopt this change? If that happens, will all goods subject to the UPLR then be allowed to have metric-only labeling anywhere they are sold in the USA and all of its possessions and territories? Regards, Ezra
