Haiti Economic Lift Program Extension Act of 2025
Summary
This bill would extend special trade benefits for clothing and apparel products imported from Haiti through fiscal year 2035. Currently, certain apparel items assembled in Haiti receive duty-free treatment when imported into the United States, with limits on the quantities eligible for this preferential treatment. The bill aims to continue these benefits as an economic development tool for Haiti.
The legislation would also direct the President to modify U.S. tariff rules to restore preferential treatment to Haitian apparel products that may have lost eligibility due to previous changes to the tariff schedule. If enacted, these provisions could help support Haiti's apparel manufacturing industry and the workers employed there by maintaining predictable, favorable trading conditions. The bill is currently in the Senate committee process and has not yet been voted on by the full chamber.
