This legislation, known as the "Haiti Economic Lift Program Extension Act of 2025," aims to provide continued economic support to Haiti by extending crucial trade benefits. Its primary provision is to extend the duty-free treatment for imports from Haiti under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (CBERA) until September 30, 2035 . The bill also modifies specific rules within CBERA, including adjusting the quantitative limitations for preferential treatment of apparel articles imported from Haiti. Furthermore, it mandates the President to restore eligibility for preferential treatment to certain articles that were previously eligible under CBERA on December 20, 2006, but subsequently became ineligible due to revisions in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
