Denial of Commercial Availability Request Under the United States-Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act (CBTPA)

Resumen

On October 12, 2004, the Chairman of CITA received a petition from Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg, P.A., on behalf of Bernette Textile Co, LLC of New York, NY, alleging that certain colored open end spun yarns ranging in size from 6/1 to 18/1 English count (10.16/1 to 30.47/ 1 metric) of a blend of reclaimed and reprocessed cotton and acrylic staple fiber, for use in chief weight cotton sweaters, cannot be supplied by the domestic industry in commercial quantities in a timely manner. The petition requested that such apparel made from such yarn be eligible for preferential treatment under the CBTPA.
