Pocketing:
The CAFTA-DR Parties signed an amendment to the Agreement on pocket fabric and related textiles matters in August 2007.
Under the pocketing amendment, for apparel items containing at least one pocket, the pocket bag fabric must be formed and finished in the territory of one or more of the CAFTA-DR parties using yarn wholly formed in the territory of one or more of the CAFTA-DR parties before the apparel can qualify as an originating good and, therefore, duty-free treatment under the CAFTA-DR.
In exchange for the change in the rule of origin for pocket fabric, the United States agreed to other changes requested by the other CAFTA-DR parties, including liberalized rules of origin for certain apparel products.
