Title I of TDA 2000 provides for dutyand quota-free treatment for certain
textile and apparel articles imported
from designated beneficiary subSaharan African countries. Section

articles wholly assembled in one or
more beneficiary sub-Saharan African
countries from fabric wholly formed in
one or more beneficiary sub-Saharan
African countries from yarn originating
in the United States or one or more
beneficiary sub-Saharan African
countries. This preferential treatment is
also available for apparel articles
assembled in one or more lesserdeveloped beneficiary sub-Saharan
African countries, regardless of the
country of origin of the fabric used to
make such articles, subject to
quantitative limitation. Public Law 114–
27 extended this special rule for lesserdeveloped countries through September
30, 2025.
The AGOA Acceleration Act of 2004
provides that the quantitative limitation
for the 12-month period beginning
October 1, 2022 will be an amount not
to exceed seven percent of the aggregate
square meter equivalents of all apparel
