Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Environmental and Legal Matters From time to time, we are involved in various proceedings incidental to our businesses, and we are subject to a variety of environmental and pollution control laws and regulations in all jurisdictions in which we operate. Although the ultimate outcome of these proceedings cannot be determined with certainty, based on presently available information management believes that adequate reserves have been established for probable losses with respect thereto and receivables have been recorded for expected receipts from settlements. Management further believes that, while the ultimate outcome of one or more of these matters could be material to our operating results in any given quarter, it will not have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, our results of operations, or our cash flows. Regulatory Matters Government and regulatory agencies may have the ability to conduct periodic examinations of, and administrative proceedings regarding, the Company’s business operations. The United States Customs and Border Protection has gathered initial information from the Company under routine audit procedures, and the initial information gathered suggests that the Company potentially may have underpaid and/or overpaid duties arising from certain classification discrepancies for products imported into the United States as separately entered shipments. The Company is currently evaluating this matter. At this time the Company is not in a position to estimate amounts that it may be required to pay. The Company intends to exercise reasonable care to address the matter in an equitable manner. Collective Bargaining Agreements As of September 30, 2023, we employed approximately 2,000 associates and less than one percent of our associates are employed on a part-time basis. Approximately 20 percent of our associates are represented by various local labor unions with terms and conditions of employment governed by collective bargaining agreements (“CBAs”). Two CBAs covering approximately five percent of our associates are up for renewal in the remainder of fiscal 2023, which we expect to renegotiate before their renewal dates.
