Title I of TDA 2000 provides for dutyand quota-free treatment for certain
textile and apparel articles imported
from designated beneficiary subSaharan African countries. Section
112(b)(3) of TDA 2000 provides dutyand quota-free treatment for apparel
articles wholly assembled in one or
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, subject to
quantitative limitation. Public Law 112–
163 extended this special rule for lesserdeveloped countries through September
30, 2015.
The AGOA Acceleration Act of 2004
provides that the quantitative limitation
for the twelve-month period beginning
October 1, 2012 will be an amount not
to exceed 7 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 2004. Of this
overall amount, apparel imported under
the special rule for lesser-developed
countries is limited to an amount not to
exceed 3.5 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 6002(a) of TRHCA
2006. Presidential Proclamation 7350 of
October 2, 2000 directed CITA to
publish the aggregate quantity of
imports allowed during each 12-month
period in the Federal Register.
For the one-year period, beginning on
October 1, 2012, and extending through
September 30, 2013 the aggregate
quantity of imports eligible for
preferential treatment under these
provisions is 1,735,859,926 square
meters equivalent. Of this amount,
867,929,963 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
