Summary Statement of Serious Damage

Women’s and Girls’ Wool Coats—Category

435

April 1995

The sharp and substantial increase in

imports of women’s and girls’ wool

coats, Category 435, is causing serious

damage to the U.S. industry producing

women’s and girls’ wool coats.

Category 435 imports surged to

1,206,632 dozen in the year ending

January 1995, 9 percent above the year

ending January 1994 level.

Serious damage to the domestic

industry resulting from the sharp and

substantial increase in imports of

women’s and girls’ wool coats is

attributed to India and Honduras. In

both cases surging imports and low

priced goods have resulted in loss of

domestic output, market share,

investment, employment, man-hours

worked, and total annual wages.

Total imports from these two

countries increased from 10,366 dozen

in the year ending January 1994 to

51,887 dozen in the twelve months

ending in January 1995, a sharp and

substantial increase of 400 percent.

Together their year ending January 1994

imports were 0.9 percent of total

Category 435 imports. Their share of

total category imports increased to 4.3

percent in the year ending January 1995.

Their year ending January 1995 imports

were 5.7 percent of total U.S.

production of women’s and girls’ wool

coats in the year ending September

1994.

Summary Statement of Serious Damage

Manmade Fiber Luggage—Category 670–L

April 1995

The sharp and substantial increase in

imports of manmade fiber luggage,

Category 670–L, is causing serious

damage to the U.S. industry producing

manmade fiber luggage.

Manmade fiber luggage imports,

Category 670–L, increased from

72,550,000 kilograms in 1992 to

77,238,000 kilograms in 1993, a six

percent increase. Manmade fiber

luggage imports, Category 670–L,

continued to increase in 1994 and 1995,

reaching 87,413,000 kilograms during

year ending January 1995, 13 percent

above the year ending January 1994

level and 20 percent above the 1992

level.

Serious damage to the domestic

industry resulting from the sharp and

substantial increase in imports of

manmade fiber luggage is attributed to

imports from Thailand, Philippines and

Sri Lanka. The combination of high

import levels, surging imports and low

priced luggage from these countries

have resulted in loss of domestic output,

market share, investment, employment,

and man-hours worked.

Total imports of manmade fiber

luggage, Category 670–L, from the three

countries listed above increased from

24,069,000 kilograms in the year ending

January 1994 to 30,932,000 kilograms in

the twelve months ending in January

1995, a sharp and substantial increase of

29 percent. Together their year ending

January 1994 imports were 31 percent of

total U.S. imports in Category 670–L.

Their share of total Category 670–L

imports increased to 35 percent in the

year ending January 1995. Their year

ending January 1995 imports, measured

in kilograms of fabric content, were 102

percent of total 1994 U.S. production of

manmade fiber luggage.
