AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would extend a program that lets certain clothing and other goods made in Haiti enter the United States with reduced or no import duties, moving its end date from 2025 to 2037. It would let any interested party ask for a review of individual Haitian producers for compliance with core labor standards and Haitian labor laws on minimum wages and hours of work. It would change producer compliance assessments from every two years to every year and allow the President to withdraw, suspend, or limit duty benefits for a producer while that producer receives compliance assistance. It would also require the U.S. Trade Representative to provide technical assistance to help Haiti increase and diversify exports to the United States, and the President would report on that assistance each year.
