To extend to Nepal certain preferential treatment with respect to apparel articles.

H.R. 3033 was a legislative proposal designed to eliminate import taxes and quantity limits on clothing and apparel imported into the United States from Nepal. By applying the same trade rules used for certain developing African nations, the bill aimed to lower the cost of Nepalese-made goods for American businesses and consumers while supporting Nepal’s export economy. Although the bill was introduced to provide these economic incentives for the 2004 and 2005 fiscal years, it did not advance past the committee stage to become law.
