                (B), a textile or apparel good that is not an 
                originating good because certain fibers or yarns used

                apparel good containing elastomeric yarns in the 
                component of the good that determines the tariff 
                classification of the good shall be considered to be an 
                originating good only if such yarns are wholly formed 
                in the territory of Colombia, the United States, or 
                both.
                    (C) Yarn, fabric, or fiber.--For purposes of this

                material is an originating good may base the claim 
                either on the physical segregation of the fungible good 
                or fungible material or by using an inventory 
                management method with respect to the fungible good or 
                fungible material.
                    (B) Inventory management method.--In this 
                subsection, the term ``inventory management method''

                                performed (whether Colombia or the 
                                United States); or
                                    (II) otherwise accepted by that 
                                country.
            (2) Election of inventory method.--A person selecting an 
        inventory management method under paragraph (1) for a 
        particular fungible good or fungible material shall continue to 
        use that method for that fungible good or fungible material

                    (A) be treated as originating goods if the good is 
                an originating good; and
                    (B) be disregarded in determining whether all the 
                nonoriginating materials used in the production of the 
                good undergo the applicable change in tariff 
                classification set forth in Annex 4.1 of the Agreement.
            (2) Conditions.--Paragraph (1) shall apply only if--
                    (A) the accessories, spare parts, or tools are 
                classified with and not invoiced separately from the 
                good, regardless of whether such accessories, spare 
                parts, or tools are specified or are separately 
                identified in the invoice for the good; and
                    (B) the quantities and value of the accessories, 
                spare parts, or tools are customary for the good.
            (3) Regional value content.--If the good is subject to a 
        regional value-content requirement, the value of the 
        accessories, spare parts, or tools shall be taken into account 
        as originating or nonoriginating materials, as the case may be, 
        in calculating the regional value-content of the good.
    (i) Packaging Materials and Containers for Retail Sale.--Packaging 
materials and containers in which a good is packaged for retail sale, 
if classified with the good, shall be disregarded in determining 
whether all the nonoriginating materials used in the production of the 
good undergo the applicable change in tariff classification set forth 
in Annex 3-A or Annex 4.1 of the Agreement, and, if the good is subject 
to a regional value-content requirement, the value of such packaging 
materials and containers shall be taken into account as originating or 
nonoriginating materials, as the case may be, in calculating the 
regional value-content of the good.
    (j) Packing Materials and Containers for Shipment.--Packing 
materials and containers for shipment shall be disregarded in 
determining whether a good is an originating good.
    (k) Indirect Materials.--An indirect material shall be treated as 
an originating material without regard to where it is produced.
    (l) Transit and Transhipment.--A good that has undergone production 
necessary to qualify as an originating good under subsection (b) shall

        outside the territory of Colombia or the United States, other 
        than unloading, reloading, or any other operation necessary to

            (2) the total value of the nonoriginating goods in the set 
        does not exceed--

                        imposed under the HTS on like articles on the 
                        day before the date on which the Agreement 
                        enters into force.
            (2) Progressive liberalization.--If the period for which 
        import relief is provided under this section is greater than 1 
        year, the President shall provide for the progressive 
        liberalization (described in article 8.2.2 of the Agreement) of

        application.
    (d) Period of Relief.--
            (1) In general.--Subject to paragraph (2), any import

                effective period of any import relief provided under 
                this section by up to 2 years, if the President 
                determines that--
                            (i) the import relief continues to be 
                        necessary to remedy or prevent serious injury 
                        and to facilitate adjustment by the domestic 
                        industry to import competition; and
                            (ii) there is evidence that the industry is 
                        making a positive adjustment to import 
                        competition.
                    (B) Action by commission.--
                            (i) Investigation.--Upon a petition on 
                        behalf of the industry concerned that is filed

                        that is 9 months, and not later than the date

                        action taken under subsection (a) is to 
                        terminate, the Commission shall conduct an 
                        investigation to determine whether action under 
                        this section continues to be necessary to 
                        remedy or prevent serious injury and whether 
                        there is evidence that the industry is making a 
                        positive adjustment to import competition.
                            (ii) Notice and hearing.--The Commission

                        time thereafter, hold a public hearing at which 
                        the Commission shall afford interested parties 
                        and consumers an opportunity to be present, to 
                        present evidence, and to respond to the

        section 321(b), the President shall determine whether, as a 
        result of the elimination of a duty under the Agreement, a 
        Colombian textile or apparel article is being imported into the 
        United States in such increased quantities, in absolute terms

        such conditions as to cause serious damage, or actual threat

        like, or directly competitive with, the imported article.
            (2) Serious damage.--In making a determination under 
        paragraph (1), the President--
