with representatives of VF and Draper to
provide the companies with an
opportunity to submit additional
evidence to substantiate their claims
regarding Draper’s capability to supply
the subject product, or one
substitutable, in commercial quantities
in a timely manner.
Section 203(o)(4)(C)(ii) of the
CAFTA–DR Implementation Act
provides that after receiving a request, a
determination will be made as to
whether the subject product, or one
substitutable, is available in commercial
quantities in a timely manner in the
CAFTA–DR countries. In the instant
case, the information on the record
indicates that VF made significant
efforts to source the subject product, a
warp knit fleece fabric, in the CAFTA–
DR region. Draper offered to supply a
circular weft knit sliver pile fabric,
which it argued is substitutable for the
subject product. CITA finds that the
information on the record does not
support Draper’s claim that the fabric it
offered to supply is, in fact,
substitutable for the subject product.
Therefore, in accordance with Section
203(o) of the CAFTA–DR
Implementation Act and CITA’s
procedures, as no interested entity has
substantiated its ability to supply the
subject product or one substitutable in
commercial quantities in a timely
manner, CITA has determined to add
the subject product to the list in Annex
3.25 of the CAFTA–DR.
The subject product has been added
to the list in Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA–
DR in unrestricted quantities. A revised
list has been posted on the dedicated
website for CAFTA–DR Commercial
Availability proceedings, at https://
