**Extends Haiti's duty-free access for qualifying apparel under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act through December 31, 2028.** It also defines eligibility rules, sets a small volume cap, and creates a pathway for retroactive duty relief for certain imports. - Haitian garment makers and exporters regain duty-free access for apparel that meets the law's "applicable percentage" set at **60 percent or more**, but preferential entries are limited to **1.25%** of aggregate U.S. apparel imports in each period. - U.S. importers and retailers can have certain articles that lost preferential status restored.
