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).
In this subchapter:
The term “CAFTA–DR article” means an article that qualifies as an originating good under section 4033(b) of this title.
The term “CAFTA–DR textile or apparel article” means a textile or apparel good* (as defined in section 4002(5) of this title) that is a CAFTA–DR article.
Subject to subparagraph (B), the term “de minimis supplying country” means a CAFTA–DR country* whose share of imports of the relevant CAFTA–DR article into the United States does not exceed 3 percent of the aggregate volume of imports of the relevant CAFTA–DR article in the most recent 12-month period for which data are available that precedes the filing of the petition under section 4061(a) of this title.
A CAFTA–DR country shall not be considered to be a de minimis supplying country if the aggregate share of imports of the relevant CAFTA–DR article into the United States of all CAFTA–DR countries that satisfy the conditions of subparagraph (A) exceeds 9 percent of the aggregate volume of imports of the relevant CAFTA–DR article during the applicable 12-month period.
The term “relevant CAFTA–DR article” means the CAFTA–DR article with respect to which a petition has been filed under section 4061(a) of this title.
