as Amended by the Haitian Hemispheric Opportunity Through Partnership Encouragement Act (HOPE)
AGENCY:
International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
ACTION:
Notification of annual quantitative limit on imports of certain apparel from Haiti.
SUMMARY:
CBERA, as amended, provides duty-free treatment for certain apparel articles imported directly from Haiti. One of the preferences is known as the “value-added” provision, which requires that apparel meet a minimum threshold percentage of value added in Haiti, the United States, and/or certain beneficiary countries. The provision is subject to a quantitative limitation, which is calculated as a percentage of total apparel imports into the United States for each 12-month period. For the period from December 20, 2021 through December 19, 2022, the quantity of imports eligible for preferential treatment under the value-added provision is 367,770,223 square meters equivalent.
DATES:
The new limitations become effective December 20, 2021.
