The investigation was initiated on March 21, 2006 in response to a petition filed by a union official on behalf of workers at Paris Accessories, Inc., Walnutport, Pennsylvania. The workers were engaged in the production of knit dickies, knit hats, ski band and ski masks. Employment at the subject plant has declined, and the subject firm has shifted the production of knit dickies, knit hats, ski band and ski masks to a country (Mexico) that is a party to a Free Trade Agreement and the Dominican Republic, a beneficiary country under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act with the United States.
