Preferences Extension Act of 2015, Public
Law 114–27, June 29, 2015.

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
112(b)(3) of TDA 2000 provides dutyand quota-free treatment for apparel
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, 2023 will be an amount not
to exceed seven percent of the aggregate
square meter equivalents of all apparel
articles imported into the United States
in the preceding 12-month period for
which data are available. See section
112(b)(3)(A)(ii)(I) of TDA 2000, as
amended by section 7(b)(2)(B) of the
AGOA Acceleration Act of 2004. Of this
overall amount, apparel imported under
the special rule for lesser-developed
countries is limited to an amount not to
exceed 3.5 percent of all apparel articles
imported into the United States in the
preceding 12-month period. See section
112(b)(3)(B)(ii)(II) of TDA 2000, as
amended by section 6002(a)(3) of
TRHCA 2006. The Annex to Presidential
Proclamation 7350 of October 2, 2000
directed CITA to publish the aggregate
quantity of imports allowed during each
12-month period in the Federal
Register.
For the one-year period, beginning on
October 1, 2023, and extending through
September 30, 2024, the aggregate
quantity of imports eligible for
preferential treatment under these
provisions is 1,830,796,723 square
meters equivalent. Of this amount,
915,398,361 square meters equivalent is
available to apparel articles imported
under the special rule for lesserdeveloped countries. Apparel articles
entered in excess of these quantities will
be subject to otherwise applicable
tariffs.

These quantities are calculated using
the aggregate square meter equivalents
of all apparel articles imported into the
United States, derived from the set of
Harmonized System lines listed in the
Annex to the World Trade Organization
Agreement on Textiles and Clothing
(ATC), and the conversion factors for
units of measure into square meter
equivalents used by the United States in
implementing the ATC.

treated as an objection and may be
considered as an alternative to the
proposed license.
