Haiti Economic Recovery Opportunity Act of 2003

Summary

Haiti Economic Recovery Opportunity Act of 2003 - Amends the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act to allow specified apparel articles that are imported directly into the customs territory of the United States from Haiti to enter free of duty if Haiti has satisfied the requirements of this Act. Declares that such articles include apparel articles that are wholly assembled or knit-to-shape in Haiti exclusively from fabric components and yarns formed in: (1) the United States; (2) a country that is party to a free trade agreement with the United States on January 1, 2003, that enters into a free trade agreement with the United States subject to trade promotion authority, or that has been designated as a beneficiary country; and (4) any country if the fabrics or yarns are designated as not being commercially available in the United States. Specifies the quantity of articles to which such preferential treatment shall extend. Declares that Haiti shall be eligible for such preferential treatment if the President determines and certifies to Congress that Haiti has met specified conditions, including: (1) establishing or making progress toward establishing a market-based economy that protects private property rights, the rule of law, the elimination of barriers to U.S. trade and investment, economic policies to reduce poverty, a system to combat corruption and bribery, and protection of internationally recognized worker rights; (2) not engaging in activities that undermine U.S. national security or foreign policy interests or gross violations of internationally recognized human rights; (3) not providing support for international terrorism; and (4) cooperating in international efforts to eliminate human rights violations and terrorist activities.
