One of the preferences available for imports of Haitian manufactured apparel is the Earned Import Allowance Program (“Haiti EIAP”). First established under HOPE II in 2008 and modified by HELP in 2010, the program provides that for every 2 square meter equivalents (SME) of qualifying fabric purchased or manufactured by the producer for apparel production in Haiti, qualifying producers can earn a 1 SME credit. These credits can allow duty-free treatment for imports of apparel manufactured in Haiti using non-qualifying fabric. There is no quantitative limit on the Haiti EIAP.
