(Congress passed the Haitian Opportunity through Partnership Encouragement Act (HOPE) in 2006. HOPE II’s provisions, passed in 2008, were intended to simplify HOPE’s trade preference programs to encourage development in Haiti. HOPE II included a new 3 for 1 Earned Import Allowance Program: for every 3 square meter equivalents (SMEs) of qualifying fabric shipped to Haiti for production of apparel, qualifying apparel producers may export 1 SME of apparel wholly formed or knit-to-shape in Haiti, from Haiti or the Dominican Republic, duty free, regardless of the source of the fabric.
