Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements March 27, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

CITA has determined that certain 100 percent cotton woven flannel fabrics, made from 21 through 36 NM single ring-spun yarns, of 2 x 2 twill weave construction, weighing not more than 200 grams per square meter, classified in subheading 5208.43.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), for use in shirts, trousers, nightwear, robes and dressing gowns, and woven underwear, cannot be supplied by the domestic industry in commercial quantities in a timely manner. CITA hereby designates such apparel articles that are sewn or otherwise assembled in one or more eligible ATPDEA beneficiary countries from such fabrics, as eligible for quota-free and duty-free treatment under the textile and apparel commercial availability provisions of the ATPDEA and eligible under HTSUS subheadings 9821.11.10, provided that all other fabrics in the referenced apparel articles are wholly formed in the United States from yarns wholly formed in the United States, including fabrics not formed from yarns, if such fabrics are classifiable under HTS heading 5602 or 5603, and are wholly formed in the United States. CITA notes that this designation under the ATPDEA renders such apparel articles, sewn or otherwise assembled in one or more eligible ATPDEA beneficiary countries, as eligible for quota-free and duty-free treatment under HTSUS subheading 9821.11.13, provided the requirements of that subheading are met.
