Title: Trade Benefits Under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act 
Abstract: Amendment to implement the trade benefits for Caribbean Basin countries contained in section 213(b) of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (the CBERA). Amendments involve the textile and apparel provisions of section 213(b) and in part reflect changes made to those statutory provisions by section 3107 of the Trade Act of 2002. The specific statutory changes involve the amendment of several provisions to clarify the status of apparel articles assembled from knit-to-shape components; the addition of language requiring any dyeing, printing, and finishing of certain fabrics to be done in the United States; the inclusion of exception language in the brassieres provision regarding articles entered under other CBERA apparel provisions; the addition of a provision permitting the dyeing, printing, and finishing of thread in the Caribbean region; and the addition of a new provision to cover additional production scenarios involving the United States and the Caribbean region.
