Background
Title V of the Trade and Development
Act of 2000 (the Act) created two tariff
rate quotas (TRQs), providing for
temporary reductions in the import
duties on limited quantities of two
categories of worsted wool fabrics
suitable for use in making suits, suittype jackets, or trousers: (1) for worsted
wool fabric with average fiber diameters
greater than 18.5 microns (Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS) heading 9902.51.11); and (2) for
worsted wool fabric with average fiber
diameters of 18.5 microns or less (HTS
heading 9902.51.12). On August 6, 2002,
President Bush signed into law the
Trade Act of 2002, which includes
several amendments to Title V of the
Act. On December 3, 2004, the Act was
further amended pursuant to the
Miscellaneous Trade Act of 2004, Public
Law 108-429, by increasing the TRQ for
worsted wool fabric with average fiber
diameters greater than 18.5 microns,
HTS 9902.51.11, to an annual total level
of 5.5 million square meters, and
extending it through 2007, and
increasing the TRQ for average fiber
diameters of 18.5 microns or less, HTS
9902.51.15 (previously 9902.51.12), to
an annual total level of 5 million square
meters and extending it through 2006.
On August 17, 2006 the Act was further
amended pursuant to the Pension
Protection Act of 2006, Public Law 109280, which extended both TRQs,
9902.51.11 and 9902.51.15, through
2009.
The Act requires that the TRQs be
allocated to persons who cut and sew
men’s and boys’ worsted wool suits,
suit-type jackets and trousers in the
United States. On May 16, 2005, the
Department published regulations
establishing procedures for allocating
the TRQ. 70 FR 25774, 15 CFR 335. In
order to be eligible for an allocation, an
applicant must submit an application on
the form provided at https://
