the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established for the most recently 

completed segment for the manufacturer 

of the merchandise; and (4) the cash 

deposit rate for all other manufacturers 

or exporters will continue to be 11.95 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation.23 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this 

review period. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in the 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(4). 

Dated: December 15, 2020.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Limitation of Duty-Free Imports of 

Apparel Articles Assembled in Haiti 

Under the Caribbean Basin Economic 

Recovery Act (CBERA), as Amended 

by the Haitian Hemispheric 

Opportunity Through Partnership 

Encouragement Act (HOPE) 

AGENCY: International Trade 

Administration, Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notification of Annual 

Quantitative Limit on Imports of Certain 

Apparel from Haiti. 

SUMMARY: CBERA, as amended, 

provides duty-free treatment for certain 

apparel articles imported directly from 

Haiti. One of the preferences is known 

as the ‘‘value-added’’ provision, which 

requires that apparel meet a minimum 

threshold percentage of value added in 

Haiti, the United States, and/or certain 

beneficiary countries. The provision is 

subject to a quantitative limitation, 

which is calculated as a percentage of 

total apparel imports into the United 

States for each 12-month period. For the 

period from December 20, 2020 through 

December 19, 2021, the quantity of 

imports eligible for preferential 

treatment under the value-added 

provision is 337,967,087 square meters 

equivalent. 

DATES: The new limitations become 

effective December 20, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: Section 213A of the 

Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act 

(19 U.S.C. 2703a) (‘‘CBERA’’), as 

amended; and as implemented by 

Presidential Proc. No. 8114, 72 FR 

13655 (March 22, 2007), and No. 8596, 

75 FR 68153 (November 4, 2010). 

Background: Section 213A(b)(1)(B) of 

CBERA, as amended (19 U.S.C. 

2703a(b)(1)(B)), outlines the 

requirements for certain apparel articles 

imported directly from Haiti to qualify 

for duty-free treatment under a ‘‘valueadded’’ provision. In order to qualify for 

duty-free treatment, apparel articles 

must be wholly assembled, or knit-toshape, in Haiti from any combination of 

fabrics, fabric components, components 

knit-to-shape, and yarns, as long as the 

sum of the cost or value of materials 

produced in Haiti or one or more 

beneficiary countries, as described in 

CBERA, as amended, or any 

combination thereof, plus the direct 

costs of processing operations 

performed in Haiti or one or more 

beneficiary countries, as described in 

CBERA, as amended, or any 

combination thereof, is not less than an 

applicable percentage of the declared 

customs value of such apparel articles. 

Pursuant to CBERA, as amended, the 

applicable percentage for the period 

December 20, 2020 through December 

19, 2021 is 60 percent. 

For every twelve-month period 

following the effective date of CBERA, 

as amended, duty-free treatment under 

the value-added provision is subject to 

a quantitative limitation. CBERA, as 

amended, provides that the quantitative 

limitation will be recalculated for each 

subsequent 12-month period. Section 

213A(b)(1)(C) of CBERA, as amended 

(19 U.S.C. 2703a(b)(1)(C)), requires that, 

for the twelve-month period beginning 

on December 20, 2020, the quantitative 

limitation for qualifying apparel 

imported from Haiti under the valueadded provision will be an amount 

equivalent to 1.25 percent of the 

aggregate square meter equivalent of all 

apparel articles imported into the 

United States in the most recent 12- 

month period for which data are 

available. The aggregate square meters 

equivalent of all apparel articles 

imported into the United States is 

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. For purposes of 

this notice, the most recent 12-month 

period for which data are available as of 

December 20, 2020 is the 12-month 

period ending on October 31, 2020. 

Therefore, for the one-year period 

beginning on December 20, 2020 and 

extending through December 19, 2021, 

the quantity of imports eligible for 

preferential treatment under the valueadded provision is 337,967,087 square 

meters equivalent. Apparel articles 

entered in excess of these quantities will 

be subject to otherwise applicable 

tariffs.
