This section defines terms used in the subchapter about CAFTA–DR articles and petitions. It sets a 3-percent threshold for a de minimis supplying country, subject to a 9-percent combined limit.

In this subchapter: (1) “CAFTA–DR article” means an article that qualifies as an originating good under section 4033(b); this section does not otherwise define “originating good.” (2) “CAFTA–DR textile or apparel article” means a textile or apparel good, as defined in section 4002(5) (not defined here), that is a CAFTA–DR article. (3) “De minimis supplying country” means, subject to subparagraph (B), a CAFTA–DR country whose share of United States imports of the relevant article is no more than 3 percent of all imports of that article during the latest available 12-month period before a petition is filed under section 4061(a). But a country is not a de minimis supplying country if all CAFTA–DR countries meeting the 3-percent condition together account for more than 9 percent of those imports during that period. (4) “Relevant CAFTA–DR article” means the CAFTA–DR article for which a petition has been filed under section 4061(a).
