## Summary

**Extends duty-free treatment for Haitian apparel through 2035.** The bill would set the qualifying threshold at 60 percent and cap eligible shipments at 1.25 percent of U.S. apparel imports by square-meter equivalent, broaden timing so eligibility can apply in any succeeding one-year period, and create a path for the President to restore tariff lines that lost eligibility after 2006. - Haitian producers and exporters would retain access to preferential, duty-free treatment for apparel that meets the 60% rule and fits within the 1.25% cap, through September 30, 2035. - U.S. apparel importers and brands would have certain Haiti-made garments eligible for duty-free entry under the revised definitions and quantitative limits. - The President would be able to proclaim modifications to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule to restore articles that became ineligible because of HTS revisions after December 20, 2006, with proclamations taking effect no earlier than two business days after a report is sent to the Senate Finance Committee and the House Ways and Means Committee.
