Hope HOPE passed in 2006, intended to promote investment in the apparel industry, and allowed for duty-free treatment of select apparel imports made in Haiti. HOPE II was passed in 2008, extended TPL for an additional 10 years, and amended eligibility requirements by requiring a new independent labor Ombudsman’s office. January 12, 2010, the US Congress amended HOPE Act with Haiti Economic Lift Program (HELP) Act of 2010, which improves market access to Haitian apparel exports.

BENEFITS OF HELP AND HOPE ACT
Help The HELP Act made significant changes to the trade preferences, including extending the Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act (CBTPA). The HOPE/HELP Act allows 200 Million square meter equivalent (SME) in woven and the same amount in knit garments every year. So far, Haiti has used only 56 Million SME’ s in knits and 27 Million in fabric. In 2015, the HOPE/HELP Act extended to 2025. The Act will increase the products from just garments to include lamps, travel goods, leather gloves and apparel, and some selective footwear. LIFZ | 11
