Authority: Title I, Section 112(b)(3) of the
Trade and Development Act of 2000, as
amended by Section 3108 of the Trade Act
of 2002 and Section 7(b)(2) of the AGOA
Acceleration Act of 2004; Presidential
Proclamation 7350 of October 4, 2000 (65 FR

November 13, 2002 (67 FR 69459).
Title I of the Trade and Development
Act of 2000 (TDA 2000) provides for
duty- and quota-free treatment for
certain textile and apparel articles
imported from designated beneficiary
sub-Saharan African countries. Section
112(b)(3) of TDA 2000 provides dutyand quota-free treatment for apparel
articles wholly assembled in one or

Jkt 208001
more beneficiary sub-Saharan African
countries from fabric wholly formed in
one or more beneficiary countries from
yarn originating in the U.S. or one or
more beneficiary countries. This
preferential treatment is also available
for apparel articles assembled in one or
more lesser-developed beneficiary subSaharan African countries, regardless of
the country of origin of the fabric used
to make such articles. This special rule
for lesser-developed countries applied
through September 30, 2004. TDA 2000
imposed a quantitative limitation on
imports eligible for preferential
treatment under these two provisions.
The Trade Act of 2002 amended TDA
2000 to extend preferential treatment to
apparel assembled in a beneficiary subSaharan African country from
components knit-to-shape in a
beneficiary country from U.S. or
beneficiary country yarns and to apparel
formed on seamless knitting machines
in a beneficiary country from U.S. or
beneficiary country yarns, subject to the
quantitative limitation. The Trade Act of
2002 also increased the quantitative
limitation but provided that this
increase would not apply to apparel
imported under the special rule for
lesser-developed countries. Section
7(b)(2)(B) of the AGOA Acceleration Act
extended the expiration of the
quantitative limitation through
September 30, 2015, and the expiration
of the limitation for the special rule for
lesser-developed countries through
September 30, 2007. It also further
amended the percentages to be used in
calculating the quantitative limitations
for each twelve-month period,
beginning on October 1, 2003. The
AGOA Acceleration Act of 2004
provides that the quantitative limitation
for the twelve-month period beginning
October 1, 2006 will be an amount not
to exceed 6.43675 percent of the
aggregate square meter equivalents of all
apparel articles imported into the
United States in the preceding 12-month
period for which data are available. See
Section 112(b)(3)(A)(ii)(I) of TDA 2000,
as amended by Section 7(b)(2)(B) of the
AGOA Acceleration Act. Of this overall
amount, apparel imported under the
special rule for lesser-developed
countries is limited to an amount not to
exceed 1.6071 percent of all apparel
articles imported into the United States
in the preceding 12-month period. See
Section 112(b)(3)(B)(ii)(II) of TDA 2000,
as amended by Section 7(b)(2)(B) of the
AGOA Acceleration Act. For the
purpose of this notice, the most recent
12-month period for which data are
available is the 12-month period ending
July 31, 2006.

Presidential Proclamation 7350
directed CITA to publish the aggregate
quantity of imports allowed during each
12-month period in the Federal
Register. Presidential Proclamation
7626, published on November 18, 2002,
modified the aggregate quantity of
imports allowed during each 12-month
period.
For the one-year period, beginning on
October 1, 2006, and extending through
September 30, 2007, the aggregate
quantity of imports eligible for
preferential treatment under these
provisions is 1,498,846,694 square
meters equivalent. Of this amount,
374,225,583 square meters equivalent is
available to apparel articles imported
under the special rule for lesserdeveloped countries. Apparel articles
entered in excess of these quantities will
be subject to otherwise applicable
tariffs.
These quantities are calculated using
the aggregate square meter equivalents
of all apparel articles imported into the
United States, derived from the set of
Harmonized System lines listed in the
Annex to the World Trade Organization
Agreement on Textiles and Clothing
(ATC), and the conversion factors for
units of measure into square meter
equivalents used by the United States in
implementing the ATC.
