## Summary

**Would extend duty-free tariff preferences for qualifying Haitian apparel and restore some products' lost eligibility under U.S. trade rules.** It sets key limits and timelines so duty-free access continues but within a capped share of U.S. apparel imports and runs through September 30, 2035. - Haitian exporters and workers would keep or regain duty-free access for garments that were eligible in 2006 but later lost status, supporting export activity and jobs. - U.S. apparel importers and brands would be able to bring more Haitian-made garments in duty-free, subject to a cap of 1.25 percent of aggregate apparel square meter equivalents based on the most recent 12-month data and an "applicable percentage" rule set at 60 percent or more. - The President would be required to modify the Harmonized Tariff Schedule to restore specified articles and report the changes to the Senate Finance Committee and the House Ways and Means Committee; those modifications would take effect no earlier than two business days after that report.
