in Beneficiary ATPDEA Countries from 

Regional Country Fabric 

September 22, 2005. 

AGENCY: Committee for the 

Implementation of Textile Agreements 

(CITA). 

ACTION: Publishing the New 12-Month 

Cap on Duty and Quota Free Benefits. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 2005. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Richard Stetson, International Trade 

Specialist, Office of Textiles and 

Apparel, U.S. Department of Commerce, 

(202) 482-3400. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: Section 3103 of the Trade Act 

of 2002; Presidential Proclamation 7616 of 

October 31, 2002 (67 FR 67283). 

Section 3103 of the Trade Act of 2002 

amended the Andean Trade Preference 

Act (ATPA) to provide for duty and 

quota-free treatment for certain textile 

and apparel articles imported from 

designated Andean Trade Promotion 

and Drug Eradication Act (ATPDEA) 

beneficiary countries. Section 

204(b)(3)(B)(iii) of the amended ATPA 

provides duty- and quota-free treatment 

for certain apparel articles assembled in 

ATPDEA beneficiary countries from 

regional fabric and components. More 

specifically, this provision applies to 

apparel articles sewn or otherwise 

assembled in one or more ATPDEA 

beneficiary countries from fabrics or 

from fabric components formed or from 

components knit-to-shape, in one or 

more ATPDEA beneficiary countries, 

from yarns wholly formed in the United 

States or one or more ATPDEA 

beneficiary countries (including fabrics 

not formed from yarns, if such fabrics 

are classifiable under heading 5602 and 

5603 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule 

(HTS) and are formed in one or more 

ATPDEA beneficiary countries). Such 

apparel articles may also contain certain 

other eligible fabrics, fabric 

components, or components knit-toshape. 

For the one-year period, beginning on 

October 1, 2005, and extending through 

September 30, 2006, preferential tariff 

treatment is limited under the regional 

fabric provision to imports of qualifying 

apparel articles in an amount not to 

exceed 4.25 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. For the 

purpose of this notice, the 12-month 

period for which data are available is 

the 12-month period that ended July 31, 

2005. In Presidential Proclamation 7616, 

(published in the Federal Register on 

November 5, 2002, 67 FR 67283), the 

President directed CITA to publish in 

the Federal Register the aggregate 

quantity of imports allowed during each 

12-month period. 

For the one-year period, beginning on 

October 1, 2005, and extending through 

September 30, 2006, the aggregate 

quantity of imports eligible for 

preferential treatment under the 

regional fabric provision is 972,848,456 

square meters equivalent. This quantity 

will be recalculated for each subsequent 

year, under Section 204(b)(3)(B)(iii). 

Apparel articles entered in excess of this 

quantity will be subject to otherwise 

applicable tariffs. 

This quantity is 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.
