Preferential Treatment of Brassieres Under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act

Riepilogo

This document adopts as a final rule amendments to the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Regulations to implement the standards for preferential treatment for brassieres imported from Caribbean Basin countries. This rule was initially published as an interim regulation in the Federal Register on October 4, 2001, as T.D. 01-74, and later amended by T.D. 03-29 published in the Federal Register on September 30, 2003. T.D. 01-74 set forth interim amendments to the CBP Regulations to implement those provisions within the United States-Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act (CBTPA) which established the standards for preferential treatment for brassieres imported from CBTPA beneficiary countries. T.D. 03-29 amended the brassieres provision set forth in T.D. 01-74 to reflect the amendments to section 213(b) of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (the CBERA) that were made by section 3107 of the Trade Act of 2002. T.D. 03-29 also included a number of other changes to the CBERA implementing regulations for brassieres to clarify a number of issues that arose after their original publication.
