U.S. OUTDOOR Act

To provide for duty-free treatment of certain recreational performance outerwear, and for other purposes. 1. Short title This Act may be cited as the United States Optimal Use of Trade to Develop Outerwear and Outdoor Recreation Act U.S. OUTDOOR Act 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The outdoor industry generates $646,000,000,000 in consumer spending annually and directly supports 6,000,000 jobs. (2) Outdoor activities are vitally important to the health and well-being of the people of the United States. (3) Duty rates on recreational performance apparel are among the highest duty rates imposed by the United States Government, with duties on some recreational performance apparel as high as 28.2 percent. (4) The duties currently imposed by the United States on recreational performance apparel were set in an era during which high rates of duty were intended to protect the production of other apparel in the United States, and before the technologies and innovations that create today's recreational performance apparel industry were developed. (5) In July 2007, the United States International Trade Commission confirmed, in USITC Publication 3937, that recreational performance apparel produced in the United States makes up less than 1 percent of the total recreational performance apparel market. (6) The elimination of duties on the importation of certain recreational performance apparel would provide an economic benefit to United States consumers of outdoor products and would promote increased participation in healthy and active lifestyles. 3.
