Haiti Economic Lift Program Extension Act of 2025
This bill extends duty-free access for Haitian apparel exports under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act until September 30, 2035. It modifies eligibility rules to maintain a 60% or higher "applicable percentage" for preferential treatment and caps annual apparel imports at 1.25% of U.S. apparel imports. The bill also restores eligibility for specific Haitian products that lost duty-free status due to past tariff schedule changes, requiring the President to update tariff schedules and report to Congress before implementation. These changes directly affect Haitian apparel manufacturers and U.S. importers of Haitian-made goods.
