Denial of Short Supply Request Under the United States - Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act (CBTPA) and the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA)

요약

On June 29, 2001 the Chairman of CITA received a petition from Fabrictex alleging that micro-denier, 30 and 36 singles solution dyed open-end staple spun viscose yarn, for use in knit fabrics, classified in subheading 5510.11.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), cannot be supplied by the domestic industry in commercial quantities in a timely manner. It requested that apparel articles of U.S. formed fabrics of such yarns be eligible for preferential treatment under the CBTPA and AGOA. Based on currently available information, CITA has determined that substitutable products can be supplied by the domestic industry in commercial quantities in a timely manner and therefore denies the petition.
