PUBLIC LAW 111–171—MAY 24, 2010 
Public Law 111–171 
111th Congress 
An Act 
To extend the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act, to provide customs support 
services to Haiti, and for other purposes. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Haiti Economic Lift Program 
Act of 2010’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) On January 12, 2010, Haiti was hit by a 7.0 magnitude 
earthquake, the worst earthquake to affect Haiti in recorded 
history. Aftershocks from the earthquake, measuring up to 
6.0 on the Richter scale, continued for days afterwards. 
(2) The earthquake has devastated Haiti’s infrastructure, 
including homes, offices, factories, roads, ports, communica-
tions, and other facilities. The loss of life attributable to the 
earthquake was massive. 
(3) Even before the earthquake, Haiti was the poorest 
country in the Western Hemisphere, ranking 149 out of 182 
countries according to the United Nation’s Human Development 
Index. 
(4) In recent years, however, the Government and people 
of Haiti had taken important steps forward to promote economic 
growth and development, including making strides towards 
establishing a competitive apparel sector. 
(5) United States trade preference programs, including the 
Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (as amended by the 
United States-Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act, the Hai-
tian Hemispheric Opportunity through Partnership Encourage-
ment Act of 2006, and the Haitian Hemispheric Opportunity 
through Partnership Encouragement Act of 2008), which extend 
duty-free tariff treatment 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 extensive 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 encour-
age buyers and investors to stand with Haiti through this 
crisis.
