HOPE for Haitian Prosperity Act of 2023
The HOPE for Haitian Prosperity Act extends duty-free access for Haitian goods to the U.S. market until 2035, with specific extensions for apparel and other exports. It requires Haitian producers to meet labor standards on minimum wages, working hours, and safe conditions to maintain this trade benefit. The bill also creates a new U.S. technical assistance program to help Haiti diversify exports, focusing on agriculture, apparel, and services, while requiring collaboration with Haitian government, businesses, and labor groups. Annual reports to Congress will track progress on these efforts.
