I, section 103(b)(2) and (3) of the Trade 

Preferences Extension Act of 2015, Public 

Law 114–27, June 29, 2015. 

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 sub-Saharan 

African countries from yarn originating 

in the United States or one or more 

beneficiary sub-Saharan African 

countries. This preferential treatment is 

also available for apparel articles 

assembled in one or more lesserdeveloped beneficiary sub-Saharan 

African countries, regardless of the 

country of origin of the fabric used to 

make such articles, subject to 

quantitative limitation. Public Law 114– 

27 extended this special rule for lesserdeveloped countries through September 

30, 2025. 

The AGOA Acceleration Act of 2004 

provides that the quantitative limitation 

for the 12-month period beginning 

October 1, 2023 will be an amount not 

to exceed seven 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)(3) of 

TRHCA 2006. The Annex to 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, 2023, and extending through 

September 30, 2024, the aggregate 

quantity of imports eligible for 

preferential treatment under these 

provisions is 1,830,796,723 square 

meters equivalent. Of this amount, 

915,398,361 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.
