HR 5160 RDS
Act (as amended by the United States-Caribbean 
Basin Trade Partnership Act, the Haitian Hemi-
spheric Opportunity through Partnership Encour-
agement Act of 2006, and the Haitian Hemispheric 
Opportunity through Partnership Encouragement 
Act of 2008), which extend duty-free tariff treat-
ment to certain apparel produced in Haiti, have 
made an important contribution to Haiti’s economic 
development efforts. 
(6) However, the Haitian apparel sector has 
been hard hit by the January 12, 2010, earthquake. 
A number of apparel factories based in and around 
Port-au-Prince have been heavily damaged, including 
the collapse of one major apparel factory that had 
employed nearly 4,000 workers. 
(7) The Port-au-Prince seaport that had served 
the apparel trade has been badly damaged. And ex-
tensive damage to roads has made it difficult to 
transport apparel to the Dominican Republic for 
shipment from ports in that country. 
(8) According to estimates by the Department 
of Commerce, imports of apparel articles from Haiti 
to the United States in 2010 have decreased by 43 
percent as compared to the same period in 2009.

(9) The earthquake has increased significantly 
the costs and uncertainty of doing business in Haiti. 
A strong and unequivocal commitment from the 
United States is needed to help Haiti offset these 
costs and preserve the gains made under United 
States trade preference programs, and to encourage 
buyers and investors to stand with Haiti through 
this crisis.
