CITA Sets FY24 Limits for Duty-Free Imports From Sub-Saharan Africa

The Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements set FY 2024 limits on imports of apparel articles from sub-Saharan Africa qualifying for preferences under the African Growth and Opportunity Act, CITA said in a notice released Sept. 25. For the year running Oct. 1, 2023, through Sept. 30, 2024, the aggregate quantity of imports eligible for preferential treatment under AGOA is capped at 1,830,796,723 square meters equivalent. Of that amount, 915,398,361 square meters equivalent will be available to apparel imported under AGOA’s third-country fabric provisions. Both quantities are down from FY 2023 limits (see 2209200035).
