Nonetheless, they issued a written Request for Quote (RFQ) inquiring with all identified potential DR-CAFTA suppliers as to their interest in supplying the requested fabrics in commercial quantities in a timely manner, and they engaged in direct discussions with all potential suppliers to ascertain their interest in supplying the requested fabrics in commercial quantities in a timely manner.

Rothschild filed a commercial availability request on December 15, 2006 asking CITA to place four types of woolen coating fabrics on the list in Annex 3.25 of DRCAFTA. The present request deals with a narrower class of fabrics and a significantly greater volume of required quantities.

While the previous request included 100 percent woolen coating fabrics. Rothschild and Kay are currently requesting only blended woolen coating fabrics, which the lone mill in opposition to the prior request confirmed in the prior proceeding it had not produced in at least “several years.”

Moreover, the addition of Kay's commercial order requirements has provided the necessary basis for CITA to consider the commercial availability of even greater quantities of the blended woolen fabrics required by coat producers in the DR-CAFTA territory.
