Title: Country of Origin of Textile and Apparel Products
Abstract: Amendment of the CBP regulations to update, restructure, and consolidate the regulations relating to the country of origin of textile and apparel products. Amendments reflect changes brought about, in part, by the expiration on January 1, 2005, of the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing and the resulting elimination of quotas on the entry of textile and apparel products from World Trade Organization members. The primary regulatory change is the elimination of the requirement that a textile declaration be submitted for all importations of textile and apparel products. In addition, to improve the quality of reporting of the manufacturer of imported textiles and apparel products, the amendments include a requirement that importers identify the manufacturer of such products through a manufacturer identification code.
