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.
