Haiti Economic Lift Program Extension Act of 2023
HR 5614 extends duty-free treatment for Haitian apparel imports under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act until September 30, 2035. It modifies the quantitative limit for eligible apparel imports to cap at 1.25% of the U.S. market for the most recent 12-month period, replacing the previous fixed annual period structure. This bill directly affects Haitian apparel exporters and U.S. importers of Haitian-made clothing by maintaining tariff preferences. The extension also requires the President to adjust the Harmonized Tariff Schedule to restore lost benefits for eligible items affected by prior tariff schedule changes.
